You Don't Even Know Who I Am? Real Fine Place to Start? Hope it's not either of those though...

"Drive Me Crazy" drove me crazy. Buh-bye.

not surprised that Kip Moore is at the bottom. I like this song but it has never been one of my favorites so honestly was a little sad to see it win that RD. Wish "Drive Me Crazy" had won as that is a much stronger song imo.
Also if "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" is below most of Taylor Swifts songs than I will be very disappointed. That song is one of my all time favorites and has no business being this low.

The playful conversation starts. Counter all your quick remarks, like passing notes in secrecy. And it was enchanting to meet you. All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you.

"Back to December" would've fared better.

Okay y'all, most of you know that I have never been a huge Taylor Swift fan...but I must confess that I am discovering some real gems through her album series, and I have actually been listening to her quite a bit lately!
"Enchanted" has been on repeat for several months now, in fact... I love this song SO much! Such a fantastic discovery in the Speak Now rankdown! The lyrics are so vivid, and it's one of her best vocal performances. This song is really speaking to my soul lately. Like, all I want to do with my life is meet a cute girl and tell her, "I was enchanted to meet you." That pickup line is so quirky yet elegant, and I cannot handle it. (Just my luck, she'd probably be a Taylor fan, and be like, "You didn't come up with that yourself.")
Anyway, I am beyond disappointed to see the hate come flooding in for this one. It would have been my choice for the highest-placing Taylor song, so the fact that it couldn't have even been somewhere in the middle of her list seems just a little harsh...

Enchanted is gorgeous! The chorus is beyond ethereal and majestic, I could listen to it for hours. Really bummed at it being out so early.

And the darkness still echoes her warning, "You can't have two loves in your life." Now the things that will haunt him Until the day that he dies Is the smell of cheap whiskey And the sound of goodbye.

I'm thinking "Cheap Whiskey" succumbed to its age here. It is raved about by Martina fans and traditionalists, but tbh it sounds pretty dated in a playlist like this. The lyrics are awesome and the production is so deliciously '90s, but it lacks the polish to stand out in a rankdown full of mixed participants such as this one. I'm like the most obnoxious Martina fan here, and I couldn't even put it in my top half... That being said I'm still disappointed to see her finish so low, but at least she wasn't last!!

Already I can tell this rankdown is just going to be all sorts of unpredictable and wild. I'm kinda shocked to see "Enchanted" this low, but also not since it's going up against largely hit singles and it's just an obscure album track (even if it's treasured among her fanbase). Glad that Kip Moore bowed out first though, because that was a pretty clear weak link in this list imo (the only thing saving it from being my last place was Kenny Chesney, lol).

We might also be able to blame "Cheap Whiskey"'s early exit on Garth Brooks! He's the background singer for that song Y'all can sniff him out when you don't even know he's there!

I like Dolly Parton but this song is just so weak for her standards. Literally any other famous songs by her would perform better here. Being a Christmas song doesn't help either.

I am so sorry mamasaid and Backwoods Barbie :'( They both lose their #1 here, in the bottom 5 of this rankdown.
However, it is not a surprise at all to me that this song is leaving now. It is the oldest and most dated-sounding song in this rankdown, first of all. But throw in the fact that it is a Christmas song, and you can see why it never really stood a chance. This song had its share of high ranks, with a total of 8 people putting it in their top 20. It also had 4 last-place ranks.
I can firmly say that I do not dislike this song in any way whatsoever. The problem I have with it is that it only really has replay value for me during like 1 month out of the year. I am one of those people who can listen to Christmas music any time of the year, but for whatever reason this is never one that I seek out until the season actually comes around.

"Where Are You Christmas" by Faith is one of the worst things I have ever heard. Absolutely atrocious. Thrilled to see this out so early.

Well, that answers the question of which Christmas song will last the longest... ...and THAT answers the question of how much longer it will last! "Where Are You Christmas" managed to outlast "Hard Candy Christmas" by 1 position, simultaneously beating it by only 1 point!!! Talk about a close battle. I will say, Faith was the clear frontrunner for basically the entire time. She was even on track to escape the bottom 10 for well over half the submission process! Dolly made a huge comeback towards the end however, as most of the high rankers for her song simultaneously put Faith in last place for some weird and definitely un-troll-related reason, and she managed to overtake Faith for just a list or two, but in the end Faith managed to keep her lead. I am personally glad that Faith won that battle. "Where Are You Christmas" is one of the most iconic country Christmas songs of all time, for sure. Faith sounds absolutely incredible on it, and really proved that she could hold her own among the big pop divas of a similar era, such as Mariah Carey, all while getting one of the biggest soundtrack hits of a generation. THIS is a Christmas song that I will listen to literally anytime, anywhere

Both these songs should be higher. The hatred for holiday songs in these rankdowns is so bizarre.
