collinkottke 's list makes a previous #3 song to #2, but the lead of #1 over the new #2 is now 25 points. I'd say the top 2 is very predictable now. Ties are found at #13 and #27. I hope in the end there would be no ties in the rankdown.

aerodynamite made a single leap to the highest place it had never been in the rankdown. Also there are no more ties after his list. Even castleoblivion26 tanked the #1 song, it is still the only song with less than 100 points and 29 points ahead of #2. I wish "Lightning" had been included since it had a video but I'm gonna get my list in tonight! It didn't chart anywhere so it is neglected in the final list of songs included. But hey, at least it gives the obvious winner of album tracks rankdown Also I am thinking to extend the deadline to next Tuesday. Reveal will start on next Wednesday since I am free on that day. Does it look good to you? Cody Wants Out...

I’ll get mine turned in before I go to bed tonight! Sorry it’s so last-minute. I drove back across the state to my hometown the other day right after I said I would be finishing my list, only to get home and realize that the garbage truck came through and knocked out our internet line... 🙄 So I haven’t been on Pulse very much to make a list. But I am going to go to work right now to get internet so I’m not trying to do it on mobile.

Eric and Jeff Hyde are frequent songwriting collabarators. 7 songs featured in the rankdown are written by at least both. Which song (Smoke a Little Smoke/Springsteen/Cold One/Roller Coaster Ride/Record Year/Kill a Word/Round Here Buzz) will be the highest? The lowest? 7. Heart Like A Wheel is elligible for the rankdown if I didn't start the rankdown too early (it charted on Hot Country Songs chart at #35). If you can rank the song in this rankdown, what will be your rank? 8. How high do you think your #1 will perform in the rankdown? 9. Any other thoughts/predictions?

Rankdown facts: Points distribution in the rankdown: 52 points difference between #1 and #2, and 78 points difference between #2 and #3. 27 points difference between #30 and #31, and 67 points difference between #29 and #30. There are ties in points at #27 and #15. Three people got as many as six perfect rankings in this rankdown. However, their closeness to rankdown is #4, #12 and #17 only. There are six people that did not get any perfect rankings. Eight songs received at least one #1 ranking, and nine songs received at least one #31 ranking. Among these songs, there is one that received both #1 and #31 rankings. #31 has the lowest S.D. #1 has the 2nd lowest S.D. I am only #2 in rankdown closeness #flop

1. Which song will be #1? Springsteen #31? Are You Ready for the Country? 2. Which songs will have higher SD? Lower SD? It's too late for math. Lowest SD, IMO, will be Smoke a Little Smoke or Springsteen 3. Which of the album era (Sinners Like Me/Carolina/Chief/The Outsiders/Mr. Misunderstood/Desperate Man) will lose all the songs first? last? First - Outsiders Last - Mr Misunderstood (though it should be Chief because that album is a MASTERPIECE. 4. Which of the album tracks charted (Keep On/Hungover & Hard Up/A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young/That's Damn Rock & Roll/Roller Coaster Ride) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest - I gotta go with my heart on this: Keep On Lowest - A Man who was... 5. Which of the tracks that Eric appeared in (The Only Way I Know/Raise 'Em Up/Are You Ready for the Country?) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest - Raise Em Up Owest - Ready for the Country 6. Eric and Jeff Hyde are frequent songwriting collabarators. 7 songs featured in the rankdown are written by at least both. Which song (Smoke a Little Smoke/Springsteen/Cold One/Roller Coaster Ride/Record Year/Kill a Word/Round Here Buzz) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest - Springsteen Lowest - Cold One 7. Heart Like A Wheel is elligible for the rankdown if I didn't start the rankdown too early (it charted on Hot Country Songs chart at #35). If you can rank the song in this rankdown, what will be your rank? 32 8. How high do you think your #1 will perform in the rankdown? Number 2, I hope. 9. Any other thoughts/predictions: I will not get my ass handed to me like in the 2003 countdown.

Overall I’d rank it about 8 or 9. 8. I think my #1 will end up around 8.

1. Which song will be #1? #31? #1: "Springsteen" #31: "Are You Ready for the Country"
2. Which songs will have higher SD? Lower SD? High SDs: "Desperate Man", "Like a Wrecking Ball" and some of his stuff from Carolina Low SDs: "Are You Ready for the Country", "Cold One"
3. Which of the album era (Sinners Like Me/Carolina/Chief/The Outsiders/Mr. Misunderstood/Desperate Man) will lose all the songs first? last? First: Desperate Man but that one has a disadvantage in terms of the number of songs so outside of that I'm thinking The Outsiders. Last: Chief
4. Which of the album tracks charted (Keep On/Hungover & Hard Up/A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young/That's Damn Rock & Roll/Roller Coaster Ride) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest: A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young Lowest: Keep On
5. Which of the tracks that Eric appeared in (The Only Way I Know/Raise 'Em Up/Are You Ready for the Country?) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest: Raise 'Em Up (because the other two are either meh or terrible) Lowest: Are You Ready for the Country
6. Eric and Jeff Hyde are frequent songwriting collabarators. 7 songs featured in the rankdown are written by at least both. Which song (Smoke a Little Smoke/Springsteen/Cold One/Roller Coaster Ride/Record Year/Kill a Word/Round Here Buzz) will be the highest? The lowest? Highest: Springsteen Lowest: Cold One
7. Heart Like A Wheel is elligible for the rankdown if I didn't start the rankdown too early (it charted on Hot Country Songs chart at #35). If you can rank the song in this rankdown, what will be your rank?
I haven't listened to it yet, oops. I finally listened to it, I think around #21.
8. How high do you think your #1 will perform in the rankdown? Top 5 is a lock, I would think.
9. Any other thoughts/predictions? I hope the Sinners Like Me tracks do well, seeing people praise his earlier makes me hopeful.

1. Which song will be #1? #31?I see quite a few candidates for #1: Talladega might be able to pull it off as well as Record Year and Springsteen. As far as last place goes, I think Are You Ready will end up there (although it should be The Outsiders imo). 2. Which songs will have higher SD? Lower SD?I can see Two Pink Lines, Hell on the Heart, Creepin', Smoke a Little Smoke, or maybe Kill a Word as most polarizing as I think they have very high burn rates. Least polarizing songs may go to Cold One, Drink in My Hand, Record Year, Love Your Love the Most, or Springsteen. 3. Which of the album era (Sinners Like Me/Carolina/Chief/The Outsiders/Mr. Misunderstood/Desperate Man) will lose all the songs first? last?I think there are enough high points from each album (bar Desperate Man) where it may be tougher than we think to eliminate an era. Other than Desperate Man, maybe Sinners Like Me will be the first album to lose all their songs. 4. Which of the album tracks charted (Keep On/Hungover & Hard Up/A Man Who Was Gonna Die Young/That's Damn Rock & Roll/Roller Coaster Ride) will be the highest? The lowest?Praying for Hungover and Hard Up to be the highest album track, with That's Damn Rock and Roll leaving first. I never really got into the latter one. 5. Which of the tracks that Eric appeared in (The Only Way I Know/Raise 'Em Up/Are You Ready for the Country?) will be the highest? The lowest?Raise 'Em Up should be the highest placed Eric feature, with Are You Ready For the Country? being the lowest. 6. Eric and Jeff Hyde are frequent songwriting collabarators. 7 songs featured in the rankdown are written by at least both. Which song (Smoke a Little Smoke/Springsteen/Cold One/Roller Coaster Ride/Record Year/Kill a Word/Round Here Buzz) will be the highest? The lowest?Highest: Springsteen with an outside shot of Record Year. Lowest: Cold One or Smoke a Little Smoke? 7. Heart Like A Wheel is elligible for the rankdown if I didn't start the rankdown too early (it charted on Hot Country Songs chart at #35). If you can rank the song in this rankdown, what will be your rank?Probably around #25. 8. How high do you think your #1 will perform in the rankdown?I'll aim low and pray for a top ten finish for my #1. I still jam out to it to this day actually. 9. Any other thoughts/predictions?I really need to check out his discography more!

Springsteen is easily winning this, but it'll be interesting to see what else does really well. Talladega will be up there too, but I'm not sure how well received some of Eric's other singles will be on here. Hoping Record Year can make top 5 at least

I think "Springsteen" and "Record Year" will easily be the top 2. "Talladega" better be nowhere near the top, but tbh it's a good song and I'm just sick of it because it was so overplayed. But then again I guess Eric's big hits have been so consistently overplayed that the overplay effect might not hurt the songs as much in this rankdown.
Also, I'm surprised to see all the hate for "Are You Ready For The Country". Like, the song isn't a masterpiece or anything, but y'all know that the "The Only Way I Know" is in this right??? Nothing is as bad as the bro country kings Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan put together in one mediocre stereotype anthem...

I thought nobody really seemed to care the rankdown...at least it isn't the case now. What if I told your predictions are mostly wrong? That's a perk of being the host! Are you ready for the last place reveal? There are only 2 top 20 ranks and yet 6 last rank for this!

I'm incredibly excited to see how this goes! I love Eric, but I feel like I prefer tracks that most do not. Maybe I'll learn that we are all weird!
