Welp, there goes my bold #1 prediction, lmao.
I'm shocked that the Tornado singles beat this out. I'm basically 100% confident that "Better Man" has it in the bag now.

"Boondocks" will forever be amazing. It's just one of those songs that will never get old :)
Up next, another #1 is lost and this has the second lowest SD in the game.

Shocked at "Your Side of the Bed" in the top 3, but I'm not complaining. It's an incredible song that should have done much better at radio.

And my #1 is gone. However, I am SO THRILLED this made the top 3! What a gorgeous song!! My favorite from the Tornado record. I was so glad when this was released as a single and got an amazing music video.
The song is country and vocal perfection! THOSE HARMONIES IN THE CHORUS KILL ME. This is probably in my top 2 or 3 LBT songs EVER.

Great #1! I love almost all of my top 10 nearly equally so I had forgotten I had "Better Man" at #1, but it is very deserving. Incredible song and vocals. I wish the rest of the newest album were this caliber of incredible.

I adore both of these but "Tornado" is on a whole other level for me! What a phenomenal follow up single to "Pontoon"
But yeah, "Better Man" had no problem winning this thing lol.

Thrilled "Your Side of the Bed" finished so high! What a fantastic and criminally underrated tune.

Glad to see "Boondocks" make it that far despite two people ranking it in their 30s. I'm not happy with you two jk
YSOTB in the top 3! I'm not complaining because it's a great song.
Surprised "Tornado" made it to #2. Again, I'm not complaining. The top LBT songs are all so good that even though I ranked it at #8, I love it almost as much as my #1.
Nice to see "Better Man" take this. It's definitely among LBT's best.

I worked tonight, so missed everything. :) bboat11 what in the hell is up with the super low ranking for "Boondocks"? Lol so this is another rankdown where I have to explain myself for criminally underranking a song that everybody else loves... That is happening a lot lately! Basically, "Boondocks" has always annoyed me. And I don't even have a good reason why! Possibly because it was (and still is) incredibly overplayed on country radio. Also keep in mind I was like 12 when it came out, so I don't necessarily know why I thought the way I did Most songs that annoyed me back then have totally changed to be songs that I enjoy now! But something about the melody just rubs me the wrong way, so the overplay killed it especially hard, and it has not grown on me nearly as much as many other songs have. Also, the lyrics are pretty stupid. I have never been the biggest fan of songs that show a lot of pride for an artist's hometown just for the sake of showing pride in their hometown, but this song doesn't even accomplish that. It just shows pride in being from the boondocks, which is a pretty hicky thing to take pride in, which rubbed me the wrong way. I do know that one thing that annoyed me to no end was the "You get a line, I'll get a pole, we'll go fishing at the crawfish hole" section. That lyric is incredibly stupid, and at that point in my life I was definitely annoyed because that part of the song has no point whatsoever. It's like the song SHOULD be over, but then it starts doing this totally unrelated and pointless round session that has stupid lyrics and makes the song longer. All that being said, the song has grown on me enough that I don't find it that annoying anymore. I can actually find things to enjoy about it, such as picking out the individual vocal parts now that I know who all the members of LBT are. But in terms of their overall career, their material is usually so strong that that one just cannot compare, with all the bad memories I have associated with it.

Also, I am so thrilled that "Better Man" was able to pull of the victory! Despite me overall doing fairly poorly on this rankdown, my #1 still managed to make it to the end :) Definitely thrilled that "Your Side Of The Bed" made the top 3, but I can't say that I am as shocked by it as a lot of people were. The thing that did shock me the most was "Little White Church" missing the top 5! That song is quintessential LBT!! Also, LOL at me being the lowest ranker of both "Boondocks" and "Pontoon". I was expecting to be the lowest for "Boondocks", but tbh I thought I was doing "Pontoon" a favor by ranking it as high as I did! Whoops, I guess not...

I can't believe I just realized this but each member has at least a song where he/she is the lead in the top 10! Very happy with that :)

Better Man is definitely the best song of their career in my opinion, and no shock there based off the master wordsmith who composed it. <3.
LBT is such a weird group in the sense they have a few HUGE career defining songs (Better Man, Girl Crush, Pontoon, Boondocks) and then SO MANY that fail to make any dent at all, yet they have always hung around. Very talented group who has shown radio success really isn't the end all be all.

"Kiss Goodbye" was definitely my favorite discovery of the rankdown! Such an amazing melody in the chorus, with heavenly harmonies. I am glad it lasted this long, considering it is a lesser-known song for them. Also, you forgot "ciao", "adios", "hasta luego", and "get the f**k out of here." Just catching up but in my language it's "O:nen Ki Wá:hi"
