This is the kind of album that I felt like the album tracks were so much better than the singles.

If "Sparks Fly" is #3, that will be an awesome top two.

"Mine" is one of her cuttests and best songs.

This is the kind of album that I felt like the album tracks were so much better than the singles. I completely agree, despite my rank for "Mine". Out of all her albums, Speak Now (and Red to a lesser extent) had such standout album tracks imo.

Taylor's lead singles are always terrible compared to the rest of the album. This is no exception.

3. Sparks Fly 2. Enchanted 1. Back to December
Because there's no way Pulse will let a non-single win.

@walker9 1. If "Enchanted" wins, will it be the first album track to win an album rankdown? 2. Do you hate it?

If "Sparks Fly" is #3, that will be an awesome top two. Looks like you're on a roll too! #3: "Sparks Fly"
Points: 533 Average: 5.8864 Standard Deviation: 3.6803 (5th lowest) Hidden Message: Portland Oregon
The first #1 on country radio from the album leaves us next (isn't it surprising that "Mine", "Back To December", and "Mean" all missed #1?), and as for the video cue the obligatory tour video from country artists who are deeper into the album cycle. Written when she was 16, his song was one of the fan favorite unreleased tracks up until its official release on the album. Its peak on the Hot 100 is #17. This was one of the songs that actually had a shot at #1 during the submission process, but it fell behind in the second half. It could've been because it lacked support up top, as you can see with the number of #1 ranks (2).

Yay! This song is good, but the other two are so much better, IMO. I am rooting for my #1, but I'm totally fine with my #3 winning, too.

Expecting BTD. Which is fine, it's the best single that was on all editions.

#2: "Back To December"
Points: 594 Average: 4.5 Standard Deviation: 2.9610 (LOWEST SD!!!) Hidden Message: Tay
The hidden message in the liner notes refers to Taylor Lautner, which hints at the fact that "Back To December" is an apology song directed at him. It was released as a promotional single at first and peaked at #6 on the Hot 100. It was then released as the second single from Speak Now and reached #3 on country radio and barely missed the top 10 on pop radio. Leo ✔ brought this song and "Enchanted" to a tie at one point, but Bwol came along and made sure that the correct song became #1 broke the tie in favor of "Enchanted". This has the lowest standard deviation of the whole rankdown, meaning pretty much everyone liked it. It was a whooping 22 top 3 ranks and 31 top 5 ranks. On top of that, only 4 people placed this in their bottom half.
Which means the winner of the Speak Now rankdown is.... #1: "Enchanted"
Points: 607 Average: 4.2045 Standard Deviation: 3.2606 (3rd lowest) Hidden Message: Adam Yes, yes, I can see the winner now (get it!? It's a reference to "Mine")! Anyways, I'm super happy this song won! The past two rankdowns I've seen my #1 fall out from #1 in the middle or towards the end, so I'm relieved that "Enchanted" managed to hang on. It got 14 #1 ranks (that's 32% of the participants) and 24 top 3 ranks, which means more than half of you put this song in your top 3! This "Adam" in the liner notes refers to Owl City's Adam Young, and this song is about Taylor's first encounter with him. He has since responded with his own cover of "Enchanted" (here is more information if you're curious). It charted at #75 on the Hot 100 upon the album's release.

Enchanted is overrated, but its still a good song so I'm fine with it winning. I just don't get why everyone loves it so much...
Anyway, let's keep this "album track winning Taylor album RDs" thing up for the Red album plz because I'll be pissed if anything other than "All Too Well" wins
