''Push & Shove'' is quite good, but doesn't deserve to outpeak ''New'' and ''Bathwater''.
My ideal top 5:
5. ''It's My Life''
4. ''Don't Speak''
3. ''Underneath It All''
2. ''Just A Girl''
1. ''Hella Good''

"Underneath It All" should win, but I'll be satisfied with any of the five. (Maybe not DS; predictability  )
5. Don't Speak
4. Just a Girl
3. Hella Good
2. It's My Life
1. Underneath It All

9.107407407
HIGHEST - 10 [SLAYRUS, BEATFREAK, ROBERT, FLASHING LIGHTS, ARRIS1314, COLLIN, ANDRESG770, MP2K, VERSACE, LUST FOR LOVE, ECNEICSNOC, ACE REJECT, YSL]
LOWEST - 6 [SIMONVENEKEO]
Out next is the song we named the rate after. If there are any white people who know how to do reggae right, it's No Doubt. The third single from Rock Steady is No Doubt's most successful single on the Hot 100, peaking at #3 and third most successful single overall, after Hey Baby. Speaking of Hey Baby, Underneath It All is also a Grammy Award winning song for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Group. I'm sad it didn't make it further. It was actually in the Top 3 for a long time and even reached #1 for a couple of minutes. If supaspaz would have upped his score a bit higher and madonnas gave it a 10, it would have beaten our #4 song.

HIGHEST - 10 [SLAYRUS, BEATFREAK, FLASHING LIGHTS, ARRIS1314, GAGASM, SIMONVENEKEO, VERSACE, PRAYER, YSL]
LOWEST - 7 [ADZ]
Some might think it's shocking that a cover song would make it to #4 but when it's as perfect as It's My Life, it's acceptable. Originally by Talk Talk, No Doubt covered the song for their greatest hits collection and I dare say better than the original. Don't get me wrong, the original is giving me 80's synthpop realness but Gwen's vocals on the track are divine. As much as I love other songs more, this is the one I can play on repeat and never get bored of. I should be mad it beat Underneath It All, but I'm okay with it. A worldwide success, it peaked at #10 on the Hot 100 which is higher than the original. And the video....  JUST AMAZING.

Sorry, YSL! I love "Underneath It All," but I don't think it's quite in No Doubt's top five.
"It's My Life" is excellent for a greatest hits single, but it still went too far in this rate.

The Grammy Nominated Hella Good was the last track remaining from Rock Steady. It was all so close but in the end, it landed at #3. Reaching the Top 15 in both the US and UK, the song also song pretty good success. Produced by the Neptunes, the dance punk track was received well by critics and is probably in the Top 5 of their best performing tracks of all time.

I'm glad this didn't win... It's a really fun track but it would feel wrong as the winner. Just a Girl FTW!!!

"Hella Good" is underrated. It often gets overlooked, but it really is one of No Doubt's most exciting songs. That said, somewhere in the lower reaches of the top ten would have been sufficient.

Just a Girl should win! It's their signature song so it would make sense.

"Hella Good" #3.  At this point, "Don't Speak" better win.
