We now lose our final Greatest Hits single on our trek to the top ten. Although only two people put this in their top ten (including a top five from toomuchboy ), over half of us were kind enough to put this in our top 20. Also, no one put this in their bottom ten!

Well this is strange...We continue our major losses here as collinkottke loses his #3 and two others lose a top ten. Sadly, the losses will be even greater from this point forward (coming up at #11 is our most popular #2!). Wasn't really expecting to be the lowest rank for BSB tbh.

"Boot Scootin Boogie" was still in? That song is super annoying lol, I have to change it every time it's on the radio. WAY overstayed.

I was overly generous with my ranking for “Boot Scootin’ Boogie” if only because it really is a classic B&D song, but like LBTrocks metioned above I have to change this every time it comes on the radio because it’s been played to death. I think if someone like George Strait had gotten his hands on a song like this it would’ve turned out to be just as big of hit albeit with a slightly different edge.

A Brooks & Dunn rankdown without “My Maria” in the top 10 is a shame. While the song is overplayed it’s a jam and is way overhated here on Pulse.

We now knock out one of the duo of top country songs of the year with "My Maria" having a nearly 50 point gap between BSB. TBH, I really think I underranked this one, but it probably wouldn't have made my top 20 because there's too many fantastic songs from them. A Brooks & Dunn rankdown without “My Maria” in the top 10 is a shame. While the song is overplayed it’s a jam and is way overhated here on Pulse. One more list may have pushed this into the top ten as there's only two points separating MM and #10. :o

YES!!!!!!!!!! I thought "My Maria" might win! I can't STAND it. The chorus is beyond dreadful- I despise the falsetto parts so much. The melody is also terrible. Such an overrated song IMO.

Minus "Red Dirt Road" this is a solid top 10! As long as that doesn't win I'll be okay lol. I think it has a good shot of winning, but I hope castleoblivion26 and I were able to prevent it lol.

Welp even though “My Maria” missed out the top 10 looks stacked so no complaints there.
Here’s what I have left: 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10, 11, 16

Strong top 10. I'm not surprised at IYSH being polarizing. I'm horrible at predictions and guesses apparently, lol, but I would think Neon Moon has a good shot at winning.

So many incredible songs left!!! I honestly will be disappointed when each and every one of these songs gets eliminated... Lol. I definitely see the #1 being a 3-way battle between "Brand New Man", "Neon Moon", and "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You", and I am going to go out on a limb and say that I hope ANBY takes the victory! "Neon Moon" is the only song in this top 10 that has won a rankdown before, and I honestly want to see it miss out here, because as much as I love the song, it would feel really anticlimactic to have it win yet again and preclude B&D from having any other songs end up in the list of rankdown winners...
10. How Long Gone 9. You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone 8. Lost And Found 7. She Used To Be Mine 6. Red Dirt Road 5. She's Not The Cheatin' Kind 4. That Ain't No Way To Go 3. Brand New Man 2. Neon Moon 1. Ain't Nothing 'Bout You

Also, that epic guitar work in the middle of "If You See Him/If You See Her" slays me to my core. I can't believe that song ended up being the most polarizing song of their entire career... Like, "Boot Scootin' Boogie" and "My Maria" exist...

Seeing two of their most overplayed and overrated hits come in at #11 and #12 is a pleasant surprise and almost makes up for the hurt in my heart from seeing "If You See Him/Her" miss the top 10. "Boogie" was still in my top 15 because I've always thought it was fun so I wouldn't have minded too much if it made it, but I'm especially happy about "My Maria" missing. I don't dislike it as much as LBTrocks probably does, but the chorus melody and falsetto is like nails on a chalkboard for me. The verse is fine, but that chorus has become pretty unbearable as one of their most heavily spun recurrents. While I was a bit generous by not putting it in my bottom 10, I could very easily do without hearing that one ever again and it's a station-changer at least 95% of the time it comes on, honestly. I have left: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 11, 22, 25, 48 Guess I'm doing pretty good... minus my #48, lmao. My random stab at a top 10 prediction: 01. Neon Moon 02. She's Not the Cheatin' Kind 03. She Used to Be Mine 04. How Long Gone 05. Red Dirt Road 06. Ain't Nothing 'Bout You 07. Lost and Found 08. Brand New Man 09. You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone 10. That Ain't No Way to Go

As for how things will play out? I'm lost in the woods because this has been so unpredictable lol

Hopefully "Red Dirt Road" is #10! That song has WAY overstayed imo
I'm doubting it though lol
10 - "She Used to Be Mine" 9 - "Brand New Man" 8 - "She's Not The Cheatin' Kind" 7 - "Lost and Found" 6 - "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" 5 - "Red Dirt Road" 4 - "That Ain't No Way To Go" 3 - "How Long Gone" 2 - "Neon Moon" 1 - "Ain't Nothing 'Bout You"
hopefully "Red Dirt Road" misses the Top 5 lol

Who'd be interested in a Brooks & Dunn album series? 100% in! Their albums are stellar if the ones that I am familiar with are any indication And it will be an excellent excuse to check out the ones I don't know.

Their albums are stellar if the ones that I am familiar with are any indication And it will be an excellent excuse to check out the ones I don't know. There's a couple of early favorites from what I've gathered so far, but I'm really digging their sound so far. The soonest I hope to start the series (if I do) will most likely be towards the end of the summer, so it wouldn't really be anytime soon. Lady A will come first (which the album series for them will probably start pretty soon after the main RD is finished)!

I still have my 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 9, 11, 18, 21 and 37 left. That's pretty good considering how I've been seemingly the polar opposite of the rankings so far.

Hello everyone!
I was hoping to get started on this in a few hours, but I'm currently having major problems with my laptop. So major, in fact, that I had to do a near hard reset (restoring it to factory settings while keeping my personal files in place). :(
Gotta love technology, huh?

Guess who's back? ;) Before I kick off the top ten (most likely tomorrow), I want to share some factoids with y'all: - All but one song remaining is somebody's #1. How long will that particular song last?
- Of those songs that contain someone's #1 remaining, a handful of them have multiple #1's. Also, there's a tie for the most popular #1! Which songs do you see having multiple #1's and when will the first song to have multiple #1's leave?
- All but three of these songs have relatively low SDs. What songs do you see NOT having low SDs? Two of those three almost made the cut for having one of the highest SDs (had I extended to the top fifteen highest/lowest SDs instead of ten).
- "Lost and Found" is the ONLY song remaining in our top ten to have not reached the penthouse on country radio. How far do you see it going?
- 20% of this top ten is from the 2000s ("Ain't Nothin' About You" and "Red Dirt Road"). Could one of these pull off the win or will the 90s overload be too much to bear? Which one from the pair will be eliminated first and when?

That one song with no #1 ranks will be "That Ain't No Way To Go", but will still make a run for the top 5!
I think the tie for most #1s will be between "Ain' Nothing 'Bout You" and "Neon Moon", and they will compete in the top 2. I could also see "Brand New Man" having multiple #1s and making the top 3, and maybe "Red Dirt Road" which is sure to be one of the more polarizing songs remaining. Maybe one of the Kix songs too.
I think "Red Dirt Road", "How Long Gone", and "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" are the 3 songs that don't have low SDs. All the rest should be pretty well loved.
I could see "Lost And Found" making it to about the middle of the top 10. Somewhere in the 5-7 range. It definitely doesn't deserve to be any earlier than that!
"Ain't Nothing 'Bout You" could absolutely be a #1 contender! It's the only one that really has a shot though, imo. I do kinda see a case where some of the 1990s songs might suffer due to extreme overplay (such as "Neon Moon") or else have the voting kinda split (like if people love both "Brand New Man" and "She Used To Be Mine" so much that they have no idea which one to rank higher, so they kinda cannibalize each other). So ANBY is still my pick to win, but I frankly will be happy to see ANY of these songs win a rankdown! "Red Dirt Road" is the '00s song that will definitely be eliminated first, and that will be just outside the top 5.
