Plus, SWV isn't THAT forgotten, I don't get why they're #9. Weak is a signature hit. Don't they even have their own reality show? 3LW is more forgotten but they weren't included cause they just missed the 90s.

I'm mad BF didn't include "Weak" as their signature sing like
Where my girls at?
From the front to back,
Well is you feelin' that?
Put one hand up,
Can you repeat that?
Tryin' to take my man,
See I don't need that!
