Another strong week and my bottom three are boring at worst. The top 6 is an insanely strong set of songs and I'm glad that most of them look to be hits on radio. I look forward to hearing them all become hits they deserve!

Wow, I think this might be the single most brutal week I can remember since we started doing these threads. I love literally every single song here, and the ones I don't love are still pretty good.

Fortunately, the carry-over votes made it easier for me, as I decided not to vote for last week's winners (ZBB, Reba, and Mickey). That still left 5 songs that would have gotten votes from me on almost any week of the year, but I had to leave one out.

Ultimately, I went with "Crushin' It", "Raise 'Em Up", "Send It On Down", and "Diamond Rings & Old Barstools". Which sucks, because Maddie & Tae are probably my new favorite artists with the exception of maybe Charlie Worsham. But I think their song will advance, so I'll just vote for it next week :)

Wow , I cant remember the last time I genuinely loved three songs on one of these polls. LAW , Tim & Mickey for me...

This is a really tough week, actually. I love well over half of them.

I'm going with "Better Than You Left Me", "Fly", "Going Out Like That", and "Send It On Down". They're undeniably my favorites. "Homegrown", "Raise 'Em Up", and "Diamond Rings & Old Barstools" would be my next choices and I would be happy to see any of them advance.
