TLC make it back-to-back eliminations as the scorching 'Red Light Special' exits the race at No. 7. Released as the second single from CrazySexyCool, the Babyface-helmed slow jam rose to second position on the Hot 100, kept off the top by Montell Jordan's 'This Is How We Do It', which ruled for seven weeks in early-mid 1995. As with most singles lifted from CrazySexyCool, the track is remembered fondly for its stylish video, this time at the hands of veteran music video director Matthew Rolston, the man behind En Vogue's 'Don't Let Go (Love)', Janet Jackson's 'Every Time', Destiny's Child's 'Bootylicious', Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman' and the group's very own 'Creep'. Set in a brothel, the video portrays Left-Eye as a pimp while T-Boz & Chilli play customers partaking in a game of strip poker. 'Red Light Special' wasn't as successful internationally, underperfoming in Australia with a peak of just #53, however it did reach the Top 10 in New Zealand, and Top 20 in the UK.

This next round will be a double elimination!
