1. What do you think will be #1? I think the hype behind "Her World Or Mine" could carry it to a win here since his singles don't always get praised.
2. What do you think will come in at #23 "Fan Girl"? There's a lot of potential contenders but I think this may be the one to go out.
3. What do you think is a lock for the top 10? I think most of the singles would make it, and I'd like to think "Everything In Between" has a good chance.
4. What do you think is a lock for the bottom 10? "Fan Girl", "Another Girl", "Livin' It Up", "Girl From Spring Break" these all come across kinda bland to me and I'd think they won't garner much support.
5. Which album track will do the best? "Her World Or Mine" for sure.
6. Highest SD/Lowest SD? Highest - "One That Got Away" Lowest - "Think A Little Less"

I really have no idea how this is gonna go other than that "Her World Or Mine" is likely Top 5 if not #1.
Also I just bought tickets to see Brantley Gilbert (not a fan but it is for my sisters birthday) and Michael Ray is opening (along with Lindsey Ell) so I'm looking forward to seeing him live!

I might buy tickets to that tour when they go on sale.... I'll have to drive 12 hrs but honestly probably worth it because I love all 3 artists involved, especially Michael and Lindsay! I'm also planning to go see Michael in June too. That show is 5 and a half hours from me... much more feasible lol. Except for the fact that it's a Sunday and I have to work the next day, which means I'll have to drive back after the concert. For Michael tho... worth it lol. Reveals for this will start tomorrow at the earliest, by the way. Still waiting for mamasaid to submit. She said today at the latest, so we shall see! In the meantime, you all could take a stab at the pre-reveal questions lol or just make any kind of predictions you want.

I am so shocked that "Girl From Spring Break' is out first!!!! I *adore* this song so much. The melody and instrumentation are fantastic, Michael sounds phenomenal, and the lyrics are great! This should not have been out first lol. I wanted to rank this higher but I ran out of room so I had to settle for 10, lol.
"Hint" for 22 lol:

Yeah, it was too on-the-nose and cliché for me.

Ok, so "Livin' it Up" was originally recorded by Emerson Drive and I'm not gonna lie, I do prefer their's lol. I used to be a MASSIVE E-Drive fan, like they were my Little Big Town... their version is just edgier and the fiddle I do have to say is sorely missed in Michael's. I still love it, don't get me wrong, but it was always destined to be lower on my rankings for this RD.

I'm actually legit shocked that "Girl from Spring Break" is out first. I wouldn't have even expected it in the bottom 5. He sounds great on it and its melodically pretty strong imo. "Livin' It Up," on the other hand, is the one song in this rankdown that I just don't care for in any capacity at all. There's a few other songs I find to be on the meh side that I ranked just ahead of it, but "Livin' It Up" is just... not good.

Buzzed Rant Ahead
I hated Girl From Spring Break for only one reason, to me it made no sense. If I met up with a booty call during all that drinking and partying, I'm at least walking away with a cell number or Facebook page. What made it worse is the line "We said we'd call but we never did" (paraphrasing), which is like "BRO YOU BOTH HAD INFO". I'm looking too deep into it but TLDR: If it was me, we'd still be on talking terms, otherwise it was never meant to be

Okay, this is definitely improving after the first reveal. "Another Girl" is one of the songs that falls into the 'meh' region for me.

"Another Girl" is such a jam!!!! Michael does country/rock SO well. As much as I love it tho, this RD is hella stacked for me obviously so I had to settle for putting it just outside my top 10. That's it for reveals tonight. I'm hoping to reveal 5 to 10 more songs tomorrow! The song at #20 proved to be quite a polarizing one in this RD. In the meantime.... Happy Easter.

What made it worse is the line "We said we'd call but we never did" (paraphrasing), which is like "BRO YOU BOTH HAD INFO". I'm looking too deep into it but TLDR: If it was me, we'd still be on talking terms, otherwise it was never meant to be We said we'd call, we said we'd write, but you know how it goes when time goes bylol so for me, this actually does make sense. And the lyric doesn't specifically say they never contacted each other after. That may be the case, but it's also equally as likely that they did for a while but it just faded as time went by. When I moved from my hometown, I left a few really good friends behind and we were planning to always stay in contact but over time we just... didn't, and sometimes we never did at all. I get that's not the same due to the romantic element not being there, but it's still along the same lines. However, I will still occasionally think about them and wonder what they're up to. And that's really all this song is saying IMO. To me the narrator is simply reminiscing about this great spring break he had with this great girl, and with that it's natural that he'd wonder what her life is like now, especially considering that they clearly talked about some serious topics and future dreams/plans, such as her wanting to move to California after college. I don't think he's longing for her or thinking that they were meant to be or anything like that. I think the following lyric kind of supports that: Every now and then I catch myself thinking about, what the girl from spring break's doing nowThe phrase 'every now and then' usually means something pretty casual. If I say I think about it every now and then, I mean it crosses my mind from time to time, but it's not something that is on the forefront of my brain day in and day out. Like I said, I hear these lyrics with a 'reminiscent' almost nostalgic tone if you will, and with that reminiscing it's only natural to wonder what her life might be like now. I actually really love the concept of this song. I really 'feel' these lyrics, even though I don't necessarily personally relate to them. Musically it's gorgeous to me too, so that always helps. I'm not saying you're wrong of course with your interpretation/how you feel about the song, just offering my perspective on it as well.

I think it's pretty common for people to have flings or brief encounters or even relationships with people they later lose touch with and sometimes they look back on those memories and think "I wonder where they are now?" It's not unusual at all imo and the lyric to "Girl from Spring Break" is totally believable to me as well. Even if they did try to keep in touch after their chance encounter, they weren't coming from the same location so it was unlikely they'd ever see one another again after the vacation ended, so it makes sense things would come to an end regardless. People come in and out of other's lives all the time. I concur with what LBTrocks said.
