Clocking in with just a 4-point lead over her debut single, this album cut from Road Less Traveled is the next to hit the road. "Painting Pillows" depicts a woman heartbroken over a breakup or a death (lyrically ambiguous as to which, but I think the first verse hints at death being the culprit) and being left in emotional turmoil that leads her to shed a river of mascara all over her pillow. It's another #1 casualty, this time for raylatch98, but the four bottom 6 ranks will likely not tear up over this loss. "With all these works of art, I bet I could start a gallery I make 'em in the dark from my broken heart's memories Every night you fall from my eyes right next to me I bet you'd be surprised that your goodbye made a masterpiece"

hopefully "Georgia Peaches", which is the only song not in my Top 10 left (though it is at 11 so I do like it)

"Eighteen Inches" becomes the next single to go from the Lauren Alaina rankdown, which leaves behind only "Georgia Peaches" remaining from her debut set. This sunny full-circle coming of age song about a young couple who fall in love and run away, struggle to make ends meet as they get their life established, and then celebrate welcoming a new bundle of joy into their family. This Carrie Underwood-penned number received a lot of fanfare, including another #1 loss -- this time courtesy of g8erboi -- plus a Top 10 from over 2/3 of the participants. In the end though, it was drug down by a handful of low ranks, including Wavey✨️'s #26, which was the final last-place still in the game. "She wakes him up at three thirty in the morning Ready or not their new life’s gonna start Seven pounds and eighteen inches The doctor lays that new baby’s head Right on her heart"

Anyone wanna predict the final song to miss the Top 5?!

I'm personally hoping "Georgia Peaches" goes next because my Top 5 is the other 5 songs, so it is an easy choice there. Will it happen, probably not. Knowing my luck it'll either be my #1 or #2

Hmm I think it's "Georgia Peaches" but I'm going to go out on a limb and say "Doin' Fine"!

Hoping for "Georgia Peaches", but expecting something else tbh. Maybe "Next Boyfriend"?

Maybe "Next Boyfriend"? The final song stuck on the outside looking in of our Lauren Alaina rankdown Top 5 is "Three," which was one of two remaining non-singles, coincidentally both autobiographical ballads included on Alaina's latest record. This means that "Same Day Different Bottle" wins the honors of being her highest-placing album cut as it slots in among the remaining 4 singles from her discography to make up our Top 5. "Three," a ballad about the singer's life out on the road, came up shy of the Top 5 by a mere three points. Yet another #1 rank falls, this time it's bigfan101 getting the unlucky honors, while almost everyone loses a Top 10. OTOH, it's good news for LBTrocks as he loses his last bottom 6. "Mama said, "you'll be a star" And daddy said, "you're gonna go far, all you gotta do is sing your heart out" A lot of miles, a lot of tears You've given me some of my best years There's so much I had to miss out on Six years of missing home for three minutes on the radio"

So "Three" was 3 spots away from making #3 huh... (glad "Georgia Peaches" survived though!)
Re: "Eighteen Inches" "Cause there ain't no greater distance than the eighteen inches from your head to your heart" are probably my favorite Lauren Alaina lyrics. I personally think it's a really clever way of saying what you're thinking and what you actually do doesn't match at times.

I'm beyond shocked that "Three" is out before the Top 5. Also surprised that "Same Day, Different Bottle" is her highest album track (though DEFINITELY not complaining in the least). That song is incredible and I'm so happy to see it make it to the Top 5.
Not surprised "Next Boyfriend", "Road Less Traveled", and "Doin' Fine" all made it. I was hoping "Georgia Peaches" would be out by now lol but it is a good song. I do hope it is #5 though!

Something generic like "Doin' Fine" or "Road Less Traveled" will probably win -_-
Here's my predictions, and I'm probably completely wrong.
5. Georgia Peaches 4. Same Day Different Bottle 3. Next Boyfriend 2. Doin' Fine 1. Road Less Traveled

How "Three" missed the top 5 and "Georgia Peaches" didn't is really beyond me. Kind of disappointed to see the singles take up most of the top 5. I'm guessing Road Less Traveled will win, but I hope it doesn't.

Booooooo. Eighteen Inches or Three should have been in the top 5 over Georgia Peaches. The rest of the top 4 are fantastic though

Judging by the commentary in this thread, most of you will not be surprised by the first song to leave us inside the Top 5. "Georgia Peaches," the final song standing from Wildflower is eliminated, and with it goes a trio of #1s from sabre14, SHOOTER, and Wavey✨️. A whole swathe of Top 5s are lost here, though a handful of ranks in the teens and even a few bottom 6 placements sunk this one from any chance of advancing further (it placed only a few points ahead of "Three" but finished with a roughly 30 point deficit from the #4 song). Topically, "Georgia Peaches" is your typical fun and sassy, uptempo country rocker about being a girl from the south. What it lacks in unique lyrical commentary, it makes up for in spunk and catchiness. "Love to dance and we love to flirt Ain’t afraid of a little dirt We ain’t late for Sunday church Mama raised us not to curse"

Like you mentioned, not surprised at "Georgia Peaches" leaving judging from everyone's reactions. I personally love the spunk in this song, but I think I would've flipped this with "Eighteen Inches" (which I ranked at #3) if I were to redo the ranking now.

Glad to see the love for "Georgia Peaches" on here! It's amazing! So edgy and full of attitude; excellent melody! This is the type of song Pulse usually hates, and I'm glad that ended up not being the case here.
Now if only "Next Boyfriend" could pull off the win... I won't be holding my breath though.
I'd be okay with "Road Less Traveled" winning too but I hope "Doin' Fine" doesn't cuz talk about generic. I don't dislike it at all, but it's nothing special by any means.
