I think Whatta Man should be #1 since FYM didn't make it. 2 iconic girl groups coming together to form one SUPERGROUP That song is everything TLC wanted to be but just FAILED at.
As usual, I have no clue what you're talking about...
Sorry for the delay, everyone! I really meant to finish this tonight, but it was a long day and I couldn't get to it. I will try and prepare things beforehand so that I can do a quick reveal tomorrow morning before the whole day is lost to Oscar mania.
Here's a tease to keep you hooked: Someone has already guessed the top three...

"My Lovin' (You're Never Gonna Get It)" (1992) Funky Divas
Hot 100 Peak: #2
Overall score: 8.65 High score: 10 (6x)/Low score: 3 (1x)
En Vogue returned for its second album with a sexy new image on "My Lovin' (You're Never a Gonna Get It)," a glorious kiss-off to a bad ex that taunts him with false hope and menacing harmonies (plus, an awesome doo wop breakdown!). It was the group's second charge to the top of the Hot 100, though this time Kriss Kross' "Jump" held them from the top spot. "My Lovin'" fell short in this rate as well, but it eked into the top ten on the strength of six 10's from voters.
Sheesh, what a bloodbath. Let's Talk About Sex, FREE YOUR MIND, CREEP?!?!?!?!?! The pain, the horror! I can't believe Independent Women beat out those three.
"Red Light Special" (1995) CrazySexCool
Hot 100 Peak: #2
Overall score: 8.73 High score: 10 (5x)/Low score: 6 (2x)
Completing the trifecta of sexy singles from CrazySexyCool is "Red Light Special," an R&B slow jam that pushes into baby-making territory with a how-to guide on pleasing the ladies of TLC. It was yet another hit that stalled at #2 on the charts, but voters gave it a surprise top ten placement on this countdown.
"Independent Women Part 1" (2000) Charlie's Angels soundtrack
Hot 100 Peak: #1
Overall score: 8.92 High score: 10 (4x)/Low score: 6 (1x)
This soulful, midtempo dance floor anthem blends appreciation of female self-sufficiency ("I depend on me") with corporate synergy for a Hollywood blockbuster ("Charlie, how your Angels get down like that"). Somehow, the awkward mix works perfectly, and Destiny's Child stormed the top spot of the Hot 100 for an astounding 11 consecutive weeks. Though it became the biggest girl group hit of all time, "Independent Women Part 1" couldn't quite repeat that success in this rate; it is the last remaining song to earn a 10 from less than half of voters.
Overall score: 9.04 High score: 10 (7x)/Low score: 4 (1x)
With its warm electric guitar and soothing harmonies, "Unpretty" is a different breed of self-empowerment anthem: one that asks for honest self-reflection and emotional confrontation, rather than merely providing a trite "it gets better" rallying cry. It's a gorgeous, genuinely inspiring song, and it gave TLC their last true hit. It had also secured a place at #4 on this countdown until the final voter gave this track its only score below 8.

who the **** gave this a 4?
this is getting out of hand lol
the remix alone>>everyone else in this rate
"Waterfalls" (1995) CrazySexyCool
Hot 100 Peak: #1
Overall score: 9.12 High score: 10 (7x)/Low score: 5 (1x)
Not only TLC's biggest hit—spending seven weeks at #1 on the Hot 100—but also arguably its signature song, "Waterfalls" showed a serious new side of those b-girls with their hats to the back. Featuring smooth horns and Left Eye's only verse on a CrazySexyCool single, this soulful R&B jam tackles the issues of crime, AIDS and drug abuse plaguing urban communities with frank openness and a famously uplifting (if slightly confounding) refrain. It is yet another entry that was bounced out of the top four of this countdown by a single score under 8.
That song is everything TLC wanted to be but just FAILED at. 
So much for thrill...
@ Independent Women being kicked out....... I really hope Whatta Man brings it home
