"Are You That Somebody" got to eleven which is odd cos I don't remember it at all from the time. "We Need a Resolution" which I remember much more only got to twenty.

"Can I Get A" got to twenty four. There was certainly pop hip-hop before '99 though, even if the entirety of 'mainstream' (whatevs) hip-hop wasn't seen as pop as it maybe is now.

"No Scrubs" and The Writing's On The Wall were big R&B consciousness-raisers.
