Ah gosh darn it, it bolded the words I didn't want it to bold :/

4-8-10. I'll probably add the second song in my list of Guilty Pleasures, hadn't declared a GP since "Mandy" by Barry Manilow. As for those other two songs, Lean On Me is obviously a 10. IBLY (Forever) is at least not the worst NKOTB song to hit #1...nor is it their best song to hit #1.

And I think it's fly when girls stop by For the summer, for the summer

10-8-10.

Errors from Part 23: So it turned out that there was an 8 in the bottom when I was doing the averages and it was still there even though I only had 66 responses. Here’s the updated scores though: Lonely Days- 6.63 Couldn’t Get It right- 7.18 (Apparently Nasty still got a score of 8.36 though) Surfin’ USA- 7.98

RIP Biz Markie.

This is our 100 songs special (I was originally gonna give you the option to edit your response, but then I was like “Nah…. We stick to the branding of the TNOCS, there is no edit button :). ) So Instead I will list my favorite songs from The Number 3s Right Here: Top 10 best of The Number 3s (Currently): 1- “Green Onions” by Booker T & The M.G’s (1962) [I know I’m biased :)] 2- “Backstabbers” by The O’Jays (1972) [I mean...come on] 3- “Instant Karma! (We All Shine On)” by John Lennon & Plastic Ono Band (1970) 4- “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” by Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes (1972) 5- “I Am A Rock” by Simon & Garfunkel (1966) 6- “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum (1970) 7- “Band of Gold” by Freeda Payne (1970) 8- (Hot Take?) “A Little More Love” by Olivia Newton-John (1978 (Peak: 1979)) 9- “California Girls” by The Beach Boys (1965) 10- (Tie) “Harden My Heart” by Quarterflash (1981 (Peak: 1982)) / “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer (1983) Hms: “I Got You (I Feel Good)” by James Brown and the Famous Flames (1965) “Saturday In The Park” by Chicago (1972) “I’m Still in Love With You” by Al Green (1972) “Jackie Blue” by Ozark Mountain Devils (1975) [Most underappreciated song] “Armageddon It” by Def Leppard (1988 (Peak: 1989)) “Dirty Laundry” by Don Henley (1982 (Peak: 1983) “Overkill” by Men At Work (1983) “Rhythm of the Rain” by The Cascades (1963) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ TNOCS’ Current Favorite Songs- 1- “Backstabbers” by The O’Jays (1972) [9.25] 2- “I Got You (I Feel Good)” by James Brown and The Famous Flames 1965) [8.92] 3- “Green Onions” by Booker T & The M.G’s (1962) [8.86] 4- “Band of Gold” by Freeda Payne (1970) [8.8] 5- “You Sexy Thing” by Hot Chocolate (1975 (Peak: 1976)) [8.45] 6- “Nasty” by Janet Jackson (1986) [8.36] 7- “If You Don’t Know Me By Now” by Harold Melvin And The Blue Notes (1972) [8.32] 8- “California Girls” by The Beach Boys (1965) [8.23] 9- “Harden My Heart” by Quarterflash (1981 (Peak: 1982) [8.22] 10- “She Works Hard For The Money” by Donna Summer (1983) [8.2] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wednesday I'll post the "Worst" we've gotten in these polls. ERROR (If I haven’t addressed it already) So I was just checking, but from the Polls of Part 1, “My True Story” should’ve had an average of 5.0 (or 5). My bad if I haven’t addressed that, it was saying 4.21 before I checked again with the score.]

4-3-9 or 10. WBMW- I mean it's Bette Midler, her literal name has me say "Yep Mid tier". The Rose is good though. Now this song, it is a ballad and nothing too special. I will give points for this: you CAN technically use it for God AND Human relationships. Now am I putting a bias to God? Heck yes I am. Bette Midler had "From a Distance" so That song is a 1. BAW- alright I have just one glaring issue. So you have a song talking about the world of "We all live in a Black and White World". But IMO the musicality doesn't represent it AT ALL. At the very least though it has good intent (and isn't using Black and White to compare Piano Keys *Cough Cough*) B(YAFG)- I stated This is the song I want people to know me for when I walk into a bar. Everything works for me. Although I don't know yet to give it a 10 as I'm giving a score in the same vein as "Dreams" and "Dancing Queen". 9 or 10 seems right.

THE NUMBER 3s!!! ------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you to the 78 of you fellow TNOCS ambassadors/commentators/visitors for doing this poll.

Alright, I usually don't put bias for these polls, but who tf gave "I'm Still In Love With You" a 1?!

Yes indeed Losing My Religion is a 10.

3-8-2 RO- I don't have that big of a connection with the original (Which I think it's trying to be "Royals" by Lorde but for Rock n Roll) but it is WAY better than this version. Ben- The first Solo Michael Jackson song. This makes sense as there are Extraordinary songs from MJ's number ones. (My favorite? "Billie Jean") BDGHOM- This isn't in the 2 category because of the actual story per say, but it's just REALLY misleading tones for the musicality. You are wanting this person to not get hooked on you? THEN WHY DOES IT SOUND SO "Resort-Like". This is also one of the most boring songs I've listened to in the 70s, at least "Puppy Love" by Donny Osmond had someone to ruin my ears instead of bore them. I believe no one else covered this song?

We got a new record from the past Poll! The Number 3s!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thank you to the 54 of you who did these polls, it means a lot.

I can’t remember if I have given a 2 to other songs (Well except for “I Got Rhythm” by The Happenings), but this was just putrid for me to listen to. c) This is currently the LOWEST RATED SONG IN THE NUMBER 3s SERIES.

Sorry I'm extremely late, I will most likely post Wednesday's Poll for Friday if there isn't like at least 40 responses.

5-8-10. Papa was a Rollin' Stone ftw. If you dont give this song at least a 7 (Which is still too low honestly), you will get a virtual slap in the back of the head from me.

As for the song "Born to Be My Baby", that song got an average of 4.9 (AC: 4.91) so Tom would Be in the common consensus for that song.

I don’t really have anything to say up here, so I’m just gonna say thank God “Funky Cold Medina” didn’t win. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Number 3s!!!

Hold up, let me find the document... (5 minutes later) Okay, this rule came from the "My Prerogative" TNO episode I believe (It was either that or "Two Hearts") CRS= Current Ranking Spot, 1 out of 52 means the song is THE best of the current songs that had appeared in the poll, 52 out of 52 means the song is THE worst of the songs that had appeared on these polls

1. 8 (Sorry Stevie Wonder) 2. 8 3. 8 4. 7 5. 7 6. 7 7. 6 (I guess?) 8. 6 (It was hard to decide either 6 or 8) 9. 7 10. 7 (Again...I guess?)

10-9-9 Like a prayer is a PERFECT song. You're So Vain is amazing I remember I wasnt into Me and Mrs. Jones the first time I listened to it, but then I was watching "One Hit Wonderland" and understood it all. I won't give it a 10 per say because of my first reaction, but it is a damn great song.

10-5-3 As for the last song, this is coming from someone who would rate "Summer in the City" a 9.

Well I knew this group of songs wouldn’t get a high score honestly...I mean most of the songs went past the average of 5 but not by much.

Just be glad that Little Jimmy Osmond song never became a hit lol "Lover From Liverpool" (I believe that's the title?)

Eternal Flame- 8 [I’m not always in the mood for it, but hot damn that is a creative idea and they do it enough justice to satisfy the idea] TAYRRTOOT- 1 (I WOULD like to tear this down, but I went through a whole fiasco thing and got muted on discord because of it so I’m just gonna state this: Tony Orlando doesn’t sound believable one bit) TNTLWOIG- 8 (I remember seeing the first episode of Helluva Boss and remembering the beginning scene…. I won’t spoil it but if you know you know, I was singing that song in my head and was laughing my head off. I am actually the type of person to be into murder ballads, I know I’m a lunatic but it’s not real life so it’s fine. This is just beautifully orchestrated of how tense the whole situation is and the plot twist was REALLY good (Also forgot to mention John Cena, but I couldn’t see him sooooo…) The only thing holding this down is I prefer the Reba McEntire version of this song (which is a 9).

Huh.....weird

Edit: it wasn't 41 people (God I suck at editing sometimes) it was 57

(SO HELP ME GOD IF I’M LATE! I F**KIN’ MADE IT!) Budadadadaaaaaaa!!!!!!! Another success for a few songs. Fun fact: My mom (who was born in 1959) never heard of “Band of Gold” …. In fact the only song she’d heard of from this list of songs was “Spiders & Snakes” (To add my opinion on “Spiders & Snakes'', you all should be GLAD that “My Girl Bill” never peaked in the top 10, that song is a 1. This song is a 4 for me. ) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE NUMBER 3s!!!
