My personal rankings this week

01. "Lonely Eyes" - Chris Young
02. "Drinking Class" - Lee Brice
03. "Storm Breaking" - Adrian Duffy & The Mayo Bros.
04. "Perfect Storm" - Brad Paisley
05. "People Loving People" - Garth Brooks
06. "Mason Jar" - Natalie Stovall & The Drive
07. "Baby Be My Love Song" - Easton Corbin
08. "Shotgun Rider" - Tim McGraw
09. "A Guy Walks Into A Bar" - Tyler Farr
10. "Manhunt" - Christie Lamb
11. "Whole Lot Of Livin'" - North 40

Another strong week with the top 4 being really strong songs, 5 - 8 being songs I probably would've voted for many other weeks of the year and they hurt to not vote for. Tyler is an artist who I don't like his voice but it's a really good song so I don't hate it I just can't listen to it. The two independent artists at the bottom turn in decent songs that I could conceivably vote for in other circumstances.
