Eric Church's Having a Record Rankdown! (Record Year wins!)

[recordyear]

After joining 10+ rankdowns I decided to open a rankdown for one of my favorite artists -- Eric Church!
I'll try to come up with some self-made graphics (don't expect them to be too fancy though ). Maybe closeness stats as well.
31 songs are included in this rankdown. 23 are singles, 3 are features and remaining 4 are songs charted in Country Airplay or Hot Country Songs.
The tentative deadline is September 1st because I won't have much free time in August and my school starts on September, so I want to finish it early while allowing more people to have enough time to rank the songs.
Album tracks lists are welcomed as well (although there is an obvious winner lol).

Songs (Music videos on Youtube are used when possible, except How 'Bout You because it is geo-locked)
How 'Bout You
Two Pink Lines
Guys Like Me
Sinners Like Me
His Kind of Money (My Kind of Love)
Love Your Love the Most
Hell on the Heart
Smoke a Little Smoke
Homeboy
Drink in My Hand
Springsteen
Creepin'
Like Jesus Does
The Outsiders
Give Me Back My Hometown
Cold One
Talladega
Like a Wrecking Ball
Mr. Misunderstood
Record Year
Kill a Word
Round Here Buzz
Desperate Man
Keep On
Hungover & Hard Up
A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young
That's Damn Rock & Roll
Roller Coaster Ride
The Only Way I Know
Raise 'Em Up
Are You Ready for the Country?

Are You Ready For The Eric Church Rankdown would have been a better name. XD I may do this.

Record Year is definitely more popular than that song. Plus the pun in Record Year is too good to ignore especially for rankdown setting.

Count me...in!

[bigfan101]

I'm only doing this if every song starts with a negative. -1, -2

[gonecountry]

That was easy. My list is on the way.

It is still a rankdown list because then you have to rank which song is the worst.

[bigfan101]

So start the worst and and end with the extreme worst?

I would say That's Damn Rock & Roll is kinda similar to that song and has a hard rock vibe.

[recordyear]

Already received the list from George Strait Junkie and gonecountry , the latter also has submitted album tracks list. I'll give a couple of days if they want to change their rankings. Once I replied your message they cannot be changed anymore.
There are five 2-way ties and two 3-way ties right now. I can't break one of those ties because even the SDs for both songs are the same.
Keep submitting to break those ties!

You can still nominate some of the best songs there. There is no limit of number of songs nominated.

alright i'll get in that list later today

[aerodynamite]

I only know a few of these songs, but I've quite liked everything I've heard from him, so I'm interested.

[recordyear]

zack97 's list reduced the ties to 1 two-way ties and 2 three-way ties.
The #1 is still #1 but it is only one point above #2 (which is still #2 after the new list).
#3 and #8, and #29 and #30 swapped places.
#31 is now 5 points apart from the three-way tie at #28.
Also I decided the song with a higher individual rank will win the tie.
As for the album tracks list part I am currently doing a top 10 on that. You may still submit lists above or below that amount if you like to, though!

Count me in!

[gardyfan]

Add me to this one please!!!!!!

[recordyear]

Kanenrá:ke 's list boosted the original #3 to #1, but it only has 1 point lead over original #1 (which is now #2). #2 and #3 also have 6 points difference now.
There are 4 two-way ties at #4, #8, #13 and #29.
Last but not least, #31 is currently 7 points away from #29.

[collinkottke]

I am so in on this! This must be what parents feel like when they need to pick their favorite child...

[recordyear]

tim 's list doesn't change the #1, but former #2 is down to #7 now. Meanwhile, the latest #2 is former #5, and is one (natural) number away from #1.
He created more ties in this rankdown though. There are 7 two-way ties now. Some of the ties are one point apart, so he brought the songs closer. In fact, the last place is also tied in points (highest rank is not tied so #31 is still #31).

[recordyear]

sabre14 's list leads to a tie in #1 consisting of the former #1 and #2. However, since the former #1 has a #1 rank but #2 doesn't, they are still in original position after the list. There are also ties at #4, #13, #21 and #23.
rgreen0625 's list, however, allows the former #2 to be #1 for the first time by three points. The former #1 is still 11 points ahead of #3. There are only three ties (yay!)--#17, #19 and last place. He kind of saves the former last place song by allowing it to tie in points with another song, and the current last place is a song that never has been the last place till now due to how the tie-breaking works.
But his work is reverted by zaclord 🌈 's list. He swapped #1 & #2, and #30 & #31 to former positions. They are also very far from other songs in the rankdown. Two ties are at #5 and #12.

[recordyear]

austin 's list brings a whooping six ties: #3, 11, 14, 18, 21 and 25. Desperate Man is in one of those ties.
The difference between #1 and #2 is 7 points now, and the #31 is the same as the #31 after rgreen0625's list.

Congrats to someguy for being 10th participant in the rankdown (No awards though). There is only one tie at #25 now. He basically extends the lead of #1 over #2 to 18 points, and #30 and #31 are now 10 points apart.
