We lose our first #1 as someguy watches “Turn Me On” leave at #5. The fact that all of our #1s made the Top 5 shows how much taste we all have! A fun little uptempo ditty at the end of the record, “Turn Me On” was a Kristyn co-write with Jason Deere, who co-wrote many of their biggest hits. Austin’s take:I thought this was going to be the most polarizing song, but it actually was the third lowest due to so many ranks in the middle. I adore this song and think it was a natural progression for the girls from something like “I Will…But”. It is really, really pop leaning, so I can see where maybe some wouldn’t appreciate the production side of it, but their harmonies and the uniqueness of this one always stood out to me.

Two number ones bite the dust along with two #13s – bringing us our most polarizing song from the album! “Get Over Yourself” was all over the place as I was tabulating results, at one point it was in the bottom three, for a while it was in the middle, then it just kinda continued to rise and rise, but wasn’t strong enough to come too close to the Top 3 songs. The girls got so much hate for being “man-bashers” with this song, but it was actually written about a woman. So, screw you country radio! Lol. Austin’s take:This song was always overhated. It was a bizarre and career trajectory-changing single, sure, but it is a total jam. The in your face chorus, the amazing harmonies in the verses and the “dadadadadada”s are just top notch for me. I wish it maybe had not been the lead single, but I love everything about it – even the crazy weird video.

Catching up a bit: I'm still surprised I put "The First To Let Go" so low because I ADORE it, especially the instrumental in the bridge and the vocals that go along with it. SO good! "Repent" deserved top 5, but I guess I'm happy for castleoblivion26 that his last place didn't make the top 5 lol. My favorite part is the part that austin highlighted in the reveal <3 amazing! "Turn Me On" is catchy and I love it but it did not deserve top 5, lmao. Musically it's a little cheesy, too. Would have much preferred "Repent"at 5 instead. "Get Over Yourself" is a certified JAM and I don't understand anyone not liking it tbh lol. Everything about is perfect, from the production to the melody to the vocals. Some of y'all don't like fun! Clearly I'm in the minority on this one but "I Wish I Were The Rain" is one of my least fav album tracks from them and it needs to gtfo already. I like it, but nowhere near love it.

I don’t think anyone predicted this! “Man Goin’ Down” has a strong showing in the KOTS Rankdown, but is actually the #3 song here when everyone predicted it to be #2! This song had zero number 1s, which is part of its reason for bowing out here. Austin’s take:What a great song. The melody is amazing, the vocals are perfect and the lyrics about needing a man to get serious and stable in a relationship (with some sexual innuendo about the intimacy fading) really work well. I always thought this was going to be a huge single for them but sadly this album died a death far too soon RIP.

My top 2 is the Top 2 <3 Mine All Mine I Wish I Were The RainThese songs ran away with the Top 2, and the #2 song had 9 points less than "Man Goin' Down." It wasn't particularly close! #Taste

Literally everybody had this amazing song in their Top 5 LOL. There was literally never a doubt what was going to win as soon as I had three lists in. This deserved to be such a bigger hit then it was but country radio gonna country radio. 8 #1 rankings here LOL. Just a completely dominant performance. Austin’s take:SHeDAISY at their best! I am still to this day stunned this didn’t resonate better at radio, but it was probably the damage from “Get Over Yourself” more than anything against this song. The harmonies are excellent, the production is excellent, the lyrics are excellent this song is just EXCELLENCE. A song that was universally loved except for LBTrocks ’ absurd ranking – “I Wish I Were The Rain” – was pretty much always our #2 song here. I am so happy it did so well as it is obviously the most personal song Kristyn wrote about her divorce, and the harmonies here are just so unmistakably SHeDAISY. I also love the wordplay in “don’t you ever wish for a free reign?” before the chorus. Austin’s take:This may be my favorite song of all time, and it is my favorite song in their catalog. It just always had something special about it and I was SO worried it was going to be tanked here but we showed some real #taste throughout the entire rankdown. I hope this was a pleasant discovery for most of you and I am thrilled it gets its place in the Revenge of the Best #2s Rankdown <3. I know this isn’t a single type song, but it is a killer album track.

"Mine All Mine" is such a deserving winner! The fact that it barely scraped the top 30 on country radio... it definitely should've been a bigger hit - this is a SMASH! Thanks for hosting austin!! I never really got the appeal of SHeDAISY from the appearances in the RDs I've done, but I think I'm starting to see it.

Yasss @ "Mine All Mine" winning! That song deserved to smash. They should've made that the lead single instead because it probably would've at least been a top 20 hit then. </3 I've never liked "Get Over Yourself." #sorrynotsorry Also your #1 was shared with Flops so what does that really say?

I'm glad to see "Turn Me On" do so well. I agree that it sounds like a natural progression from something like "I Will...But:" (probably my favourite SHeDAISY song), so no surprise to me that I like it a lot as well. Thanks for hosting austin!

Revisiting the album for the few songs I don't know by heart and it's hard because all these songs are so so good! 😓

If this is LBTrocks 's least favorite but is loved by .indulgecountry then I know I'm going to like it. Count me in for this round!

Oh crud austin! I completely forgot that this was due tonight! I can come up with a list in a few hours if you're gonna be closing in a few hours (just realized that sounded redundant).
