LOWEST - 5.5 [ECNEICSNOC]
Who would have thought that a promo single could make it this far? Easily a fan favorite from the band's latest efforts, it features Major Lazer (aka the love of my life Diplo) and Busy Signal. In an album full of pop songs, this track is easily classic No Doubt with a modern twist. While this song doesn't have as many 10's as other songs in the Top 10, it received pretty average scores throughout putting it this high in the rate.

The best song released this year.

It's a good song, and 8 is a decent place for it but I'm still bitter that it's above Bathwater!

For me, "Push and Shove" felt like the most No Doubt-y song from their latest album. It's definitely my favorite, and it's going on my list of the year's best songs.

Never really felt "Bathwaters", on the other hand, "Push & Shove" is excellent.

HIGHEST - 10 [ALEX_BMKX, EWAN CHAOS, SLAYRUS, ROBERT, ELECTROHEART, ARRIS1314, MP2K, VERSACE, PRAYER]
LOWEST - 7 [SAMMI]
Landing in at #7 is No Doubt's Grammy Award winning Hey Baby! The lead single from Rock Steady is a dancehall track that features Bounty Killer and is their second most successful single worldwide, peaking at #5 on the Hot 100 and #2 in the UK, just to name a few places. It also has the highest lowest score so far. While a great and fun track, #7 is about right for this song.

I agree with you 100%. Push and Shove and Settle Down are the only songs that are very No Doubt. Although I think P&S would have made a better comeback single than Settle Down.

Great song, but it outlasted a bunch more deserving ones.

I don't think it would've worked. "Push and Shove" is so...odd, and it doesn't strike me as radio-friendly at all. "Settle Down" was an obvious choice for a summer hit, but for some reason, it just didn't work.

One of my local rock radio station plays Push & Shove all the time! It's great to hear on the radio, I actually think it would have crossed over easier than Settle Down.

Oh, wow! Maybe it would have. I just figured it was probably too dark for the current pop radio climate. But I guess if "Too Close" can become a top ten hit, then "Push and Shove" could have, too.

HIGHEST - 10 [BEATFREAK, ROBERT, MADONNAS, ELECTROHEART, ARRIS1314, COLLIN, GAGASM, MP2K, VERSACE, NII., SUPASPAZ]
LOWEST - 5 [LUST FOR LOVE]
Just decimal points above Hey Baby, Spiderwebs storms in at #6, barely missing the Top 5. Following the success of the lead single from Tragic Kingdom, Spiderwebs was released as the second single and is often credited for reviving the ska genre in the US. Yes, feel free to throw in a "No Doubt their impact" if you feel like it, because this song deserves all the praise. While the song was more successful in the US, it failed to match Just a Girl's worldwide success and definitely not a match for its successor, Don't Speak. Still, it remains one of their best and I deeply regret not giving it a 10.

Well, at least "Just a Girl" is still in this. That would also be a deserving winner. Crossing my fingers!

Spiderwebs should be top 3
I'm glad Push and Shove did so well. It really is one of their best tracks.
