Not surprising with We Don't Belong Together, but go Kelly. Three spots aint bad!

Good for Mariah, Kelly and Green Day. And I loved that Frankie J song. Not crazy about everyone else.

I LOVE all of these songs, except Mariah's!

I love every single one of these songs except "Behind These Hazel Eyes" was always a so-so song to me. And "Lonely No More" got on my nerves quick.
