Oh no! The reveal has been great until now. "Before Me and You" definitely deserves to be higher than some singles. Still glad that this did the best of all the album tracks though!

Our first single to bow out is Still Holding Out For You. We also lose a #1 here with tim losing his top song. A touching ballad about grieving a lost loved one, this song was the final single from the album and their first single to miss the Top 20 (and first to miss the Top 10 on R&R). Austin's take: This is a gorgeous song and I am glad to see it get support here even if it isn’t in my Top 5. I do think it was a poor radio single but not because it’s a bad song. REMIX VERSION:
This is just the country radio version. It’s a little more radio ready with a little more drum beat, but not worth really visiting if you haven’t heard it. Not missing much.

"Without Your Love" is a gorgeous song and really didn't deserve last place IMO. That said, this album is SO strong I couldn't place it any higher than I did. The remix has some cool production values, but I actually like the original better.
"'Cause I Like It That Way" is a JAM! I knew this would be out in the first few reveals (I'm actually surprised it wasn't first out tbh) Once you get past the 'Hey Jack, take back" thing lol the song is amazing! The harmonies and vocalizing on this one just slay me!! The pre-chorus is EVERYTHING! The whole second verse is actual life. The 'never, never, never' part in the chorus is phenomenal. lol there are just so many little things about this song I can rant about! It's honestly one of my fav SHeDAISY album tracks period.
I love "Dancing With Angels" but again, such as strong record I had to put it really low. It just can't compare with a lot of the other songs on this album.
I personally really prefer the remix version of "Punishment" tbh, love the country/bluegrass production on it. But the melody on this song is great regardless.
"Before Me & You" is so catchy!! The chorus is just flat out AMAZING!!!! The melody itself + the way they harmonize in it is just pure love.
Also really glad that "Still Holding Out For You" did better than we were anticipating cuz it's a gorgeous and emotional song. Honestly I would have much preferred to see "This Woman Needs" be the first single to leave since, IMO, it is by far the weakest one.

Also everyone NEEDS TO LISTEN TO the remix version of "A Night To Remember" if they don't know it, like seriously. I hardly ever listen to the original and it was an easy last place for me here, lol.
The remix version is so haunting and sends chills up my spine!!! The lyrics kinda fall flat for me on the original cuz it's too happy-go-lucky with the fast beat. The remix however stops me dead in my tracks. It would no doubt be my #1 if we were to ever rank the remix album, lol.

sad to see "Still Holding Out For You" be out before "This Woman Needs". Same with "Before Me and You". I love "This Woman Needs" but it is easily lower in quality than those two. "Still Holding Out For You" has been a favorite since the first time I heard it. I will be honest and say that I happen to love the remix version, while there isn't much added to it I do think it still adds a lot.
Hopefully "This Woman Needs" leaves next and then "Lucky 4 You" will be 3rd. I think the top 2 will easily be "Little Good-Byes" and "I Will...But". I am rooting for their debut single to be #1 but I think "I Will...But" has it in the bag.

This Woman Needs, SHeDAISY’s second-ever Top 10 hit finishes at #4 in this album RD. toomuchboy loved this one so much it was his top song from the album, while 4 others placed it in the bottom three. This song found most of its success from a flurry of #3 ratings, as 5 people ranked it there. Austin's take: This overstayed. I appreciate that they had a hit with a waltz-like song, which is a rare feat, but meh. I think they had better single options. It’s fine, but not great. REMIX VERSION:
I like this version better than the original, though the differences are small. I have it replaced with the original on my playlist. I think most would feel the same.

Over 30 points separated the Top 3 from the #4 song!

Oh good. At least "This Woman Needs" didn't make top 3. I can't help but think single bias played a bit of a factor in this making the top 5 at all, lol. Don't get me wrong, I like and listen to it, but it is far from one of their best songs and is certainly nowhere near as good as the majority of this flawless album is.

3) Lucky 4 You (Tonight I’m Just Me)“You always say that I have multiple personalities I bounce around somewhere between my dreams and reality So where'd you dig up the audacity to ask me How we've all been doin' since you broke our hearts (Well so far) Number 5 just cries a river a minute 7 wants to tie you up and drown you in it Yeah, 14 just wants to say so long, bygones 32 wants to do things to you that'll make you blush 10 will key the el camino that you love so much And there ain't nobody wants to mess with 23 Ohh, lucky 4 you tonight I'm just me” Track #5
Total points: 53
Average Ranking: 3.31
Standard Deviation: 1.57 (LOWEST!) Rankings: austin 1 .indulgecountry 1 d3vin44 1 gardyfan 2 SHOOTER 2 someguy 3 toomuchboy 3 Cody Wants Out... 3 schnetzka 4 LBTrocks 4 tim 4 bboat11 4 castleoblivion26 4 🌺CountryLineDancer 5 ClevelandRox 6 Kanenrá:ke 6
A hilarious take on a breakup through the lens of multiple personalities, Lucky 4 You catches an unlucky break here as it falls to #3, just short of RoTB territory. A top 10 hit on R&R, the song is accompanied by a laugh out loud funny video and truly they just don’t make songs quite like this anymore. Despite not making the Top 2, this song fell just one point short, and with a lowest rank of #6, its lowest rank is higher than the lowest ranks of our Top 2 songs. Austin's take: This is SHeDAISY to me. Unique topic, clever title, quirky melody, hilarious video. Just so original and different and I believe songs like this are why they had such a nice run in 1999/2000. I am so happy to see it do well here but sad to see it fall just short of the top 2! I was stunned this was so universally loved, but very happy to see it. REMIX VERSION:
Hard pass on this but nice attempt ladies <3.

Lucky 4 You missed out #2 by ONE POINT, and our top song only defeated it by 7 points! What a close finish.

Hands down SHeDAISY’s biggest hit, “I Will…But” won their Singles rankdown…but falls JUST short here despite having the most #1s (6). Austin's take: I love this as I do most of their stuff, but it never has been one of my absolute favorite songs by them. I was shocked it won the singles RD, but I am happy to see it get second here as I think LGB is far superior. REMIX VERSION:
Once you get past the “How Can I Keep From Singing?” intro, this one is probably the coolest remix! Love this so much. The debut single takes it!!!! Against all odds, Little Good-byes gets its revenge and becomes a rankdown winner! This one was aided by four #1s, but really won this with its 6 #2 rankings. A debut hit for the ages, this song showed us how unique SHeDAISY would remain for their 7 years of prime. Austin's take: This is a song I don’t know how someone couldn’t love. No one has ever done a song like this about the little messes and crap she leaves her man when she leaves him. What an intro to SHeDAISY and those harmonies are just….superb. REMIX VERSION:
This really isn’t that different but there are a few fun changes (most notably the bridge). I do listen to this version.

Daaaang it! Was really hoping Lucky 4 You would win. I love how they all take turns singing words in the opening, talking about multiple personalities. Hilarious! This song is such a jam, so creative and NEVER gets old.

Wow, that was a lot closer than I would've expected it to be! "Little Good-Byes" has been such an earworm ever since I first heard it back then and it still remains so to this day. I just as easily could've slipped that one into my top spot, but when revisiting the singles this time around it was "Still Holding Out for You" that resonated with me the most for whichever reason. I also dang near forgot just how much I enjoyed that song! Y'all know I'm not the biggest fan of the group, but I have to admit I thoroughly enjoyed this album. Thanks again austin!

I've loved "Little Good-Byes" since the first time I heard it and am so happy it finally joins the rankdown winners list! I was disappointed when it didn't win in the singles RD. I do love "I Will...But" and honestly wasn't mad to see it win the singles and with this result I am even more happy things worked out this way. Thanks for hosting austin! cannot wait for Sweet Right Here, and of course the Christmas album this fall! I wish we had more albums from them!

The top 2 is flawless! I would have switched the order around, but I adore both of these songs and they're such jams with incredible melodies, vocals, and harmonies!! Thanks for hosting austin this is my fav RD series to date on Pulse! lol.
