Aaaaand, we have our winner! In a largely unsurprising finish, it came down to the album's two pinnacle hit singles for the title, with "Tin Man" securing the victory by a margin of around 20 points, so it wasn't exactly a razor-thin finish, but the two of them (plus "Getaway Driver" in third) really separated themselves from the rest of the pack from the get-go and never looked back. The wonky and edgy "Vice" with lyrics detailing a woman who struggles with temptations features a melody that has this delightful float-like quality to it that is helped by Miranda's phrasing and delivery. It lost out in the end to "Tin Man," the beautifully heartbreaking and stripped down conversation with the fictional Wizard of Oz character that finds Miranda warning him that a heart is not all its cracked up to be. Its lyrical content is gut-wrenching and she performs it likewise. Only one person put "Tin Man" outside their Top 10, and two did the same for "Vice," while the winner clocked in with 5 #1s and our runner-up nabbed 3 #1s. "Every time you're feeling empty Better thank your lucky stars If you ever felt one breaking You'd never want a heart"
"All dressed up in a pretty black label Sweet salvation on a dining room table Waiting on me Where the numb meets the lonely It's gone before it ever melts the ice"

I'm happy "Tin Man" is #1 as it should be. Great job hosting .indulgecountry! Thank you! Sorry I drug the last handful of reveals out as long as I did, lol. I started this RD with a deadline of Dec 31st and finished the reveal on Jan 31st though, so I feel like I got it done by when I realistically needed to.

Thank you for hosting .indulgecountry! Would've loved to see "Getaway Driver" sneak a win but I'm just thrilled it made a good run for the top!

I love both Tin Man and Vice. A year ago I would rank Tin Man as my #1 but Vice has really grown on me in the last six months or so. The dark atmosphere that Vice creates is just amazing and the music video is one of my all-time favourite videos. Thank you for hosting .indulgecountry.

Predictable winner, but I mean... any of my top 10 placements would've been deserving winners in my opinion! LOL
"Tin Man" is a gorgeous song... almost a poem set to music, but is not a song I listen to constantly, that's why it missed my Top5 "Vice" is a song that I've loved and listen to regularly ever since it came out! Just love everything about it... lyrics, vocals, mood... "Getaway Driver" is just the perfect ballad... I don't know what it it exactly, but it always fill me with so may emotions. It was a #01 pick based solely on the feelings I get, not something I can't really point my finger at. "Runnin Just In Case" is just on point as an opening for this record. It sets the mood perfectly for the album. It also has one of my favorite lines in any Miranda songs: "Happiness ain't prison but there's freedom in a broken heart"

Very predictable but great winner! I am thrilled with how this rankdown played out, overall It was definitely much closer for me than the regular Miranda Lambert rankdown was!

I like "Tin Man" but find it a bit overrated; "Vice" is better in nearly every way to me.
I also wish "Highway Vagabond" had ranked higher. Love that one.
