best run of 3 or more Hot 100 #1 singles from one album

Lol at Twink Daddy. (x-post)

Yeah it seems I'm alone in seeing the truth about "Father figure" but being exposed to that song when you still think of "father" as "a real life mental image of your dad" and then having it go into "I want your sex" is a fucked up thing

You can stretch the group as far as you want:

but he says "Not everybody does it but everybody should" -- the choice is yours whether to have Dad fuck you.

same deal i guess -- "Bad" is so bad that it cancels out some of the good Bad singles (xpost)

I just wanted to bop around to "Faith"
Interesting, you don't like "Bad"? Really? imo it's "Dirty Diana" weighs down that boat and "I just can't stop loving you" that sinks it

Timberlake's run is unusually consistent - very much of a piece.

― Deafening silence

unusually? every Justified single was perfect imo

whaaaat nobody likes "Bad"

i will take about a dozen Justin/N Sync singles over every FutureSex hit besides "My Love"

I voted for the Premes, probably should have voted for Paula instead.

The anecdote about Michael admitting to Daryl Hall that he based "Billie Jean"'s bassline on "I Can't Go For That" is kind of funny to me cause H&O straight ripped it off from "Tramp". At least MJ switched it up!

haha how can anything but "Big Girls Don't Cry" be the weak link in the Fergie trio

All three Fergie songs are the weak link in the Fergie trio.

Father Figure, like Spandau Ballet's "True," is best in PM Dawn sampled form.

I think the millions of people who bought Fergie songs are the true weak link.

thanks Rev for getting there first. Kept wanting to sat to Fergie voters, "wtf?!"

*say

"I Want Your Sex" is great and is a more deserving #1 than "Monkey".

"Fergalicious" was the only halfway bearable single off that album and even that wasn't an eighth as good as "My Humps"

not one person has pledged their vote to Fergie here iirc

I am not a Fergie fan at all but I always had a soft spot for London Bridge, mainly for that Polow beat though.

This is manifestly wrong because "I Want Your Sex" lacks sampled monkey shrieks.

My mistake. But ppl are still talking about her songs as if they're good or something, so the wtf?! remains.

and because when we were 13 my friends and I had no clue what the song was about and hence loved WHY DID YOU HAVE TO SHARE OUR BED WITH A MONKEY

I remember in elementary school one girl doing her speech assignment on George Michael and being forced to change a reference to "I Want Your Sex" to "Hand To Mouth" instead.

when i was a kid "Monkey" and "Shock The Monkey" were two of only probably a couple dozen pop songs i knew well and i probably just thought everybody wrote songs about monkeys

Lol

Also remember "Monkey" being vaguely unsettling to me due to being on the radio around the same time that the horror film Monkey Shines was in theatres, and whose trailer and poster freaked me out.

xp I don't mean unusual for Timberlake - I mean unusual for anyone. It's not just that they're all good singles but that they're of a piece.

More unsettling: George's suspenders, hat, and dancing

oh man Monkey Shines was SO CREEPY

jam/lewis remix of 'monkey', which was what was played on radio/mtv, is fantastic, haven't heard the album version in over twenty years. fergie singles are easy to overrate cuz they're so much better than what one might've dreaded from a fergie album. some holy shit details on the ridiculously hot model from father figure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tania_Harcourt-Cooze

Oooh I could've voted Wham! too but seeing a dud like "Father figure" on this list turned me off

nice

Dude we already worked it out. I alone don't like "Father figure" bc it's got a boring chorus and also I don't think of my dad that way

More unsettling: George's suspenders, hat, and dancing

Haha yeah his dancing has always been creepy. See also: "Wake Me Up Before You Gogo" and "Outside".

you dont get it man... you can be the father figure, grabbing tiny hands and shit

alt lyrics right there

"Wake Me Up" is a perfect song, video

yeah, George in the "Wake Me Up" video is classic, fuiud

The shorts, the gloves, the hair, I was ten and I knew he was gay before he did (I also pretty much found out about myself watching his videos and Duran Duran's).

Still don't think he was gayer than Simon Le Bon Bon.

any gayer, that is

i thought simon le bon was just a straight guy who sucked a lot of lemons

Is this a Gerhard Richter?

Maybe his look wasn't (though I'd argue about that too), but his voice and dancing definitely. (x-post)
