We did not do right by Whitney’s album. Sorry, but some of those cheesy ballads still left are not the true highlights!

Physical Attraction, The Last to Know, Someone for Me and Turn It Into Love deserved better.

I knew Janet would be completely out before the top 20. Her debut is the only one without a single hit on it and her album sounds too demo-y even the singles. I mean, she was still just a kid under her father's thumb so it makes sense the album is severely lacking. 

 

Some of those Céline songs deserved to be a little higher, especially 'The Last To Know' and 'I'm Loving Every Moment With You.' The former has a great vocal melody and the latter is some nice R&B from the era. Y'all doing Shaylene dirty. 

 

Most of Kylie's SAW songs are hilarious. I agree with @Curaga in that she sounds like she's shouting through most of the album. I don't dislike the whole album but I don't think I would've been mad if all her songs were out before the top 20.... except for 'Look My Way'. That's a real cute little funky number.

 

'Someone For Me' is okay but I think 'Take Good Care of My Heart' is superior, especially with that sax solo, and should've been Whit's highest rated album track. It's clear Clive Davis and Arista spent her album budget on the songs he knew would be singles because everything else is mostly bland and forgettable. 

 

Madonna's 'Physical Attraction' is overrated in the base. I would've liked 'Think of Me' to be in it's place. I'd rather even listen to 'Everybody' and I don't even like that one that much. 'Burning Up' should be in the top 20 like what are y'all doing?

 

'There's Got To Be A Way' should have been out in the first wave and also, 'Alone In Love' should've been top 10. 'Tis all.

KillingYourCareer: "I used to think this was a global classic, until I found out it had just been released as a single in Italy and the Netherlands. Radios here still play it regularly. Absolutely one of the most wonderful songs of the old millennium."
