5 Timeless New Edition Songs That Still Make Us 'Wiggle' (With or Without Bobby Brown)

We rate the group s biggest hits and see which ones still stand the test of time

Ronnie, Bobby, Ricky and Mike!

If that opening line immediately rings a bell, then like myself, you’re a bona fide New Edition fan. So, you can imagine my glee when I scored two tickets to the group s current All Six Tour in Brooklyn – a glee that was only slightly dimmed by the news that Bobby Brown has dropped out of the tour for health reasons.

As Brown said in a statement to PEOPLE, “I was not myself due to a medical procedure.”

Fortunately, other ticket holders may be luckier than me – Brown has vowed to return to the tour at a later date: “When I am healthy, I will return to the group and rejoin the tour.

That said, let me give you a little background on my New Edition obsession: The first album I ever bought with my own money was their debut release, Candy Girl , which I listened to over and over again until I knew all the words. I wrote Michael Bivins an impassioned letter (no, I never received a reply) explaining why I thought he was so cool (what can I say, I loved his dimples). And I even performed “Popcorn Love” at my school’s talent show.

Cut to 1997 when I first met my husband. We instantly bonded over our love of the group, which by then had splintered into various acts (Bell Biv DeVoe, Bobby Brown, Ralph Tresvant). But it didn’t matter; their music brought back the fondest memories of our childhood, which made me ponder – could any of their biggest hits stand up to the likes of today’s “Wiggle” or “Fancy”?

I think so. And so, to commemorate the All Six Tour this summer, here’s my list of their most enduring songs:

"Candy Girl"

This is the song that started it all. From Ralph Tresvant’s high-pitched voice to the family-friendly raps, every kid (young or old) is happy to sing along.

"Mr. Telephone Man"

Sure, the tech lingo is a little dated (no one talks to an operator anymore), but the sentiment of not hearing back from your loved one still resonates. Plus, this was the first time we heard Bobby really break it down.

"If It Isn’t Love"

Not only is the production on par with – or, in some cases, even better than – what we’re hearing on the radio right now, but Queen Bey paid homage to their smooth dance moves in her “Love on Top” video.

"My Prerogative"

Technically, this is all Bobby B. But he wouldn’t have been able to dub himself the “King of R&B” without his New Edition beginnings. Plus, Britney Spears covered it in 2004 with all the same swagger .

"Poison"

From the ashes of the group’s disbandment arose BBD and this certified club banger. Case in point: Gabrielle Union and her Think Like a Man Too costars performed it to hilarious effect in the 2014 film.

American fashion house  Coach  announced its debut into the digital gaming space through collaborations with two popular Gen-Z digital platforms, Roblox and Zepeto.

Participants can enter these transformed worlds, coordinate the perfect Coach outfit for the competition theme and walk for the judges in hopes of winning the most points. Coach's cross-experience scavenger hunt also allows players to win their very own virtual Coach piece by collecting hidden items and competing on the runways in both "Fashion Klossette" and "Fashion Famous 2."

Sutton Stracke hosts a star-studded fashion show in Hollywood

On July 22, "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Sutton Stracke hosted a party and fashion show at the rooftop pool of the Godfrey Hotel in Hollywood. The event was also filmed for the upcoming 14th season of the Bravo franchise.

The Monday night event marked the debut fashion show for her Sutton Brands Green Label Capsule and was attended by "RHOBH" costars Garcelle Beauvais, Kathy Hilton, Erika Jayne, Dorit Kemsley, Bozoma Saint John and Jennifer Tilly, who also walked in the show.

Sutton Green Label  is a sustainable circular fashion line made out of pieces that have been returned. Stracke has partnered with Retail Reworks owner Brian Adams to buy up excess returns, then remanufacture and rebrand them.

The line, which launched last year, started with nonbinary tees, shirts and jackets featuring one-of-a-kind patches. The event celebrated the addition of the Travel Capsule, which includes leather dresses, cable knit sweaters and jumpsuits.

The H.wood Group announces a new multi-story music and nightlife destination

Los Angeles-based hospitality company  The H.wood Group  has a new nightlife concept slated to open later this month on the Sunset Strip. 

Keys, a multistory music and nightlife destination, will be an homage to an iconic era of L.A.'s party scene and the location's former occupant, The Key Club, which played host to The Doors, Van Halen, and Guns N' Roses before closing in 2013. The venue also marks the brand's first foray into the electronic music space. 

The 12,420-square-foot venue features three distinct levels that will each offer their own ambiance, bars and full-service kitchens. Offering an optimal vantage point into the main dance floor and stage, the upstairs third floor will feature a poker table and arcade games while the second floor lounge will feature an opera box-style balcony that offers a private viewing experience. The complex will also house an underground dance floor, reminiscent of Europe's renowned deep house bunkers, with its own sound and bar.

"We are thrilled to finally introduce Keys to Sunset Boulevard," Brian Toll and John Terzian, cofounders of The H.wood Group, said. "As a brand, we really embody Los Angeles and all that it stands for. It is our goal to honor not only the revered venues that have previously called this space home, but to reinvigorate the rich musical history of the Strip. It is an honor to be able to inform the next golden era of Los Angeles' live music scene – from big name DJ sets and intimate acoustic shows, to listening parties and more – and to further immortalize the city's iconic nightlife culture." 

Keys will open in August at 9039 Sunset Blvd., West Hollywood 90069.

Allison Russell

Lainey wilson, miranda lambert, trending on billboard, a new jelly roll song will be the espn college football anthem for 2024-25 season.

Lainey Wilson feat. Miranda Lambert, “Good Horses”

Orville Peck & Allison Russell, “Chemical Sunset”

On Orville Peck’s new album Stampede , he teams with Americana music luminary Allison Russell on this stomping, theatrical pairing. Their voices are tremendous, with Russell’s voice sultry and fluttering, and delicately cracking in just the right places with Peck’s vocal rendering a cavernous, steady foil, fusing to convey song’s brooding message of living life with desire and abandon, even as the world burns around them. “Chemical Sunset” marks an illustrious standout on this project.

Alex Lambert, “She Ain’t Texas”

Kameron Marlowe & Marcus King, “High Hopes”

This song from Marlowe’s 2024 album Keepin’ the Lights On gets a bluesy reimagining, thanks to singer-songwriter-guitarist King. The song is a tightrope of mourning and longing as he moves through disappointment to the first glimmers of hope. On its surface, it’s a curious pairing between the mainstream country singer Marlowe and Americana stalwart King, but their voices blend mightily, while King’s guitar prowess gives the song a darker, moodier patina.

Chase Matthew with Fernando & Sorocaba, “Cold Blooded”

“Casa Branca” hitmakers Fernando & Sorocaba team with country hitmaker Chase Matthew on their latest outing. Brazilian, EDM rhythms and country constructions weave together, turning heartache into a technicolor dancefloor anthem in this tale of a guy whose trying to earn the affections of someone whose “love is on lockdown,” as he toggles between hope and the knowledge that he’ll never break through her icy heart. Fernando & Sorocaba are set to release the upcoming project NASH , featuring more collabs with country artists including Dustin Lynch, LOCASH and more.

Gavin Adcock, “Run Your Mouth”

Usher talks Super Bowl show, reveals most 'personal' song on new album: 'Oh, I'm ruined'

Purchases you make through our links may earn us and our publishing partners a commission.

Home is on Usher 's mind.

There's his new album "Coming Home," out now, which honors his hometown of Atlanta and his roots as a master of R&B in its tracklist and its cheeky, peachy cover art.

Usher is also "really enjoying getting ready for Super Bowl ," where he's headlining Sunday's halftime show in Las Vegas, his home for the last few years as he dominated a Sin City residency, triumphantly concluding at the 100-show mark in December.

"I know this sounds crazy, right? When I say I'm gonna enjoy this one show as though I have not enjoyed all of them. But I think I've spent so much time serving other people in terms of what I offer as a performer, I don't really get a chance to enjoy it as much as I want to because I'm almost like out of my body while performing for them. Like, yeah, I'm live and I'm present, but I'm doing it for you," he tells USA TODAY in the days before the performance. "This moment, this one's for me, and I'm going to really enjoy it."

And with his return to releasing music, six years after his collab project with producer Zaytoven and eight years since his solo album "Hard II Love," he's celebrating the location and the feeling of home.

The Essentials: As Usher prepares for Super Bowl halftime show, here are his must-haves

The album, Usher's ninth solo studio outing, is 20 songs of relief for fans and for the R&B star himself: the comfortability of opening the door, taking your shoes off, and settling in on the couch to something familiar. It's the feeling of "Coming Home."

"After the journey that I've had in life over the last six years, I feel like I'm coming back to start," Usher says of the "deeper meaning" of the album's title. "I'm more refreshed and more refined as a result of so many experiences that I've been able to come through."

While fans will get quintessential Usher songs – the slow jams, the love-making grooves and the get-up-on-your-feet bangers – there are also new vibes that could only happen in the comfort of "home," with Usher's longtime collaborators Jermaine Dupri, The-Dream, Pharrell, Brian Michael Cox and L.A. Reid returning for the project.

"You're most comfortable when you're at home," Usher says. "So coming home to me feels like the safest space that I found, and that is to be comfortable in my skin. You know, the other half is the life that I've lived has had me running for so long, had me outside, had me moving around. To slow it down a bit and just come home, and me having perspective and (sharing) perspective is another aspect."

Usher walks us through some of the tracks on his new album.

'A-Town Girl' by Usher, Latto is a bona fide hit song

Right from the start, this song pumps out a well-known refrain: "Uptown girl…" Billy Joel 's 1983 hit is the underpinning of Usher's "A-Town Girl," an ode to his hometown of Atlanta, featuring rapper Latto .

Usher croons that "my little baddie's such an A-Town girl," describing her with lyrics like she "learned how to skate when she was in the first grade" and "I can tell by the way that she twerk, she from around here," where you can "find her at Ladies Love R&B Wednesdays" or down on Peachtree Street or at Magic City.

"You felt the essence of Atlanta, you felt a very specific kind of code of culture," he says of the upbeat smash hit that will undoubtedly go viral across generations of Usher fans. ("Kissing Strangers" and "Keep On Dancin'" a few tracks later are also standout pieces of pop perfection.)

Usher says 'Ruin' song and video with his daughter is the most 'personal'

Usher says of all the songs on this album, "Ruin" is the "most personal and vulnerable" track.

"I think that 'Ruin' is a story that, when you look at the video, it says a lot," he says. "We base it on this idea of this relationship between father and daughter, or your child. To me, that is the one time that I think all men can say, 'Oh, I'm ruined.'"

In the video for the track (featuring Pheelz), Usher and his daughter, Sovereign Bo, 3, share an adorable time in a moment of play, with the singer highlighting a necklace on his daughter and a matching tattoo on his wrist featuring her initials, SR.

"Y'all (daughters) get away with everything," he says with a laugh, "'til eventually (dads) figure it out, like, 'Oh, you're gettin' over on me.'"

Afrobeats with Burna Boy, K-pop with Jung Kook mark new territory for Usher

"Standing Next to You (Remix)," a high-energy finale track featuring BTS singer Jung Kook , allowed Usher to step into the K-pop world.

"I don't go to Korea that much, but when I do I have always enjoyed K-pop bands. So to work with Jung Kook was another incredible thing," Usher says.

Similarly, his entry into Afrobeats came through inspiration from his travels.

"Working with Burna Boy and producing along with Pheelz" on the album's title track and "Ruin," respectively, "that was a result of me going to Africa," he says.

Usher, Skims bonus track 'Naked' is limited edition digital download

Not only did Usher partner up with Kim Kardashian 's Skims for a campaign launching the intimates and shapewear apparel brand's latest men's offering , his half-nude body wearing Skims boxer briefs isn't the only stripped-down element fans can expect.

Bonus track "Naked" will be included in a limited edition digital download release of the album, exclusively available on skims.com .

The joint venture is a shrewd business move for the reality TV mogul, who appeared in the teaser for the halftime show announcement and chronicled her missed chance to see Usher in concert for her birthday on her family's Hulu reality show, "The Kardashians." Kardashian ultimately ended up making it to his Vegas residency where the two connected backstage, and she gushed to sister Khloe Kardashian afterward about his performance.
