DO NOT LOOK AT ANY OF MY COUNTDOWNS AND DON'T COPY AND PASTE THE QUESTION!
Ashanti has had a total of 14/24 songs make #1 on my countdown. 58.3% of her hits have topped my chart. FACT:All but Unfoolish, Down 4 U and What's Luv have missed the top 10. That's 21 top 10 hits. Three players were off by 1, 2 and 3 respectively. HD was very close with 17, Neon was also very close with 12, but the closest of them all was once again, Infamous. He said 15, and was off by just 1. Remember, you won't be penalized for going over.
For the next one, I'm giving out 2 questions.
