So there it is, folks!!!! In one of the most bizarre rankdown finishes of all time, a song with a whopping EIGHT #1 placements just barely manages to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, as a song that literally nobody dislikes except .indulgecountry pushes its way across the finish line first. "Every Storm" was one of the most consistently-loved songs of the rankdown. It managed to find a spot in everybody's top 40, except for one lone bottom 10 placement... Indulge's efforts to tank it were not quite good enough, however, as the fact that literally nobody else dislikes this song helped it to pull off the win. "Merry Go Round" was super well-loved as well, but had a couple more low ranks, which dragged it down just enough to not win. Ironically enough, "Merry Go Round" wasn't even tanked nearly as hard "Follow Your Arrow" was in 2014, even though FYA ended up winning 2014! I mean, even its most predictable hater bigfan101 didn't even put it in his bottom 25! "Every Storm" was just formidable enough of an opponent to stay ahead...

Gary Allan and Kacey are 2 of the best artists in the industry. Radio disagrees, but Iâm glad to see them be 1 and 2 here.

Oh, I forgot to mention that "Every Storm" was #1 for basically the entire submission process! In fact, Indulge's tanking of the song was the only reason that "Merry Go 'Round" even had a slight chance. "Every Storm" would have been easily ahead by a solid 50-80 points if it hadn't been for that random tanking. After indulge's list came in, MGR managed to sit at the top for a little bit, but "Every Storm" was ultimately able to reclaim the position that it held for probably 85% of the submission process, simply because nobody else disliked it...

My prediction was right!
Looks like I tanked Merry Go Round just enough. đ

Surprised to see Night Train being that high, and Gary Allan won over Kacey Musgraves. If it were a ratedown I would give it 7/10 while Follow Your Arrow is a 10/10. Not a bad winner though.

Lmao at me having a Carrie song in the Top 5 and not in the 50s per usual and then it not winning. What the heck.
Decent winner though! Shocked that boring AF LBT snooze fest made it that high - yuck.

You could have put "Two Black Cadillacs" at #100 OR at #1 and it would have still been at #3 Carrie appreciates your occasional support though!

Yikes, what a disappointing finish. "Merry Go 'Round" is incredible and deserved to win this one. I've never been able to understand the appeal for that Gary Allan song. I think its positively awful and overplay made it even worse, so it's a shame that me being generous and not putting it even lower allowed it to win over a song that had eight #1s. Very sad. :/
I'd have more to comment, but I was on vacation this weekend for the past 3 days and the last time I stopped into this thread prior to tonight there were still 40 songs left, so there's too much, lol.

Not the winner I would have picked, but it's still a good song though. Not a great year for country, but still some great songs came out of it.

This was a really stellar top ten, despite the fact that so many gems were done dirty. Thought and hoped âMerry Go âRoundâ wouldâve had this in the bag, but âEvery Stormâ makes for a fantastic winner also.
Thanks for hosting, Bladder! Thoroughly enjoyed following along, even if I was a flop lazy and didnât submit for this. :)
