Oh wow I thought "Someday When I'm Old" would've been a shoe in for the top 10.

Do y'all mind if I continue with results and update them with trajectory graphs later in the week? We're ready to roll with it!

With there being slim pickings left from About to Get Real, we resort to the track in the middle of his sophomore album All Over the Road titled "A Thing For You".
Not receiving many higher ranks than me towards the end, this song got a swift push from barely escaping the bottom six to kicking off the top 20.

"A Thing for You" has such a good melody. Deserved better here imo.

I really like "That'll Make You Wanna Drink" and am happy it is in the Top 20 as it is my first Top 10 loss and I'm not one bit surprised but I still enjoy it a lot!

We've just encountered the first of three ties in this rankdown, usually broken by whichever song has the highest ranking.
Sadly this recent tie took down two duos of top fives, including a pair of top threes, with the loser of this tie having a higher standard deviation in this case.
The second tie will be coming up pretty soon!

Alright guys, get ready for this one! Only two points separate the next FOUR songs! And yes, that means tie #2 is coming up real shortly...

I think ClevelandRox must've been waiting for this to leave or something?

Here comes tie #2! Both contain a #2, but the winner of this tie (coming in at #15) is somebody's #1!

And the #1 losses keep on comin' with another album track from All Over the Road, "Tulsa, Texas". This garnered a whopping SIX top tens, including kw9461's #1 and .indulgecountry's #2. We now see another song with multiple #1's and a few of us won't be very happy with this one...

Yep. You two saw two singles in a row just miss the top ten. Despite not having a #1 rank, a duo of #2's and four more top tens in "Clockwork".
With that in mind, here's the top ten and a recap of what's been eliminated so far! {THE TOP TEN}Roll With It A Little More Country Than That The Way Love Looks I Can’t Love You Back Let Alone You Leavin’ a Lonely Town All Over the Road Lovin’ You is Fun That’s Gonna Leave a Memory Baby Be My Love Song Easton Corbin: (five eliminated) 1. TBA 2. TBA 3. TBA 4. TBA 5. TBA 6. TBA 7. This Far From Memphis (227 pts. - TIE) 8. That'll Make You Wanna Drink (230 pts. - TIE) 9. Don't Ask Me About a Woman (230 pts. - TIE) 10. Someday When I'm Old (256 pts.) 11. A Lot to Learn About Livin' (270 pts.) All Over the Road: (eight eliminated) 1. TBA 2. TBA 3. TBA 4. Are You With Me (193 pts.) 5. Tulsa, Texas (194 pts.) 6. Hearts Drawn in the Sand (226 pts.) 7. This Feels a Lot Like Love (228 pts.) 8. A Thing For You (244 pts.) 9. Dance Real Slow (282 pts.) 10. I Think of You (290 pts.) 11. Only a Girl (344 pts.) About to Get Real: (ten eliminated) 1. TBA 2. Clockwork (179 pts.) 3. Wild Women and Whiskey (227 pts. - TIE) 4. Kiss Me One More Time (262 pts.) 5. Like a Song (291 pts.) 6. Guys and Girls (297 pts.) 7. About to Get Real (333 pts.) 8. Diggin' On You (366 pts.) 9. Damn Girl (367 pts.) 10. Just Add Water (385 pts.) 11. Yup (394 pts.) Non-Album Singles: (all eliminated) 1. Let's Ride (264 pts.) 2. A Girl Like You (267 pts.) 3. Somebody's Gotta Be Country (290 pts.) Singles: (five eliminated) 1. TBA 2. TBA 3. TBA 4. TBA 5. TBA 6. TBA 7. Clockwork (179 pts.) 8. Are You With Me (193 pts.) 9. A Girl Like You (264 pts.) 10. Somebody's Gotta Be Country (290 pts.) 11. Yup (394 pts.)
Feel free to make top ten predictions! I'd also like to see what you think will be the highest placed album track and where it'll place. And most importantly, what song's gonna take it all? I'll kick the top ten off on Monday! ( one way or another )

Well shit. It's about to get real!
"Are You With Me" is such an incredible song. It has a bit of a generic modern vibe to it, yet for some reason it works its way under my skin until I can't get it out of my system.
"Clockwork" has a really cool chorus, imo. The instrumentation is a bit generic, but I think this is one of the catchiest hits of his late-career.

"Tulsa, Texas" missing the top 10 has me shook. That song is so clever lyrically and melodically incredible!
"Are You with Me" is okay. Grew on me a lot after I saw him perform it live, but I used to think it was one of the weakest songs on his sophomore album when it was initially released.
"Clockwork" is a bit boring and I've always felt like its melodically a little clumsy so I'm glad that one missed top 10.

I've kind of been taking a small break from rankdowns this month so therefore haven't commented as much as I usually do, but with the top 10 upon us I thought I'd make some remarks on songs that made it into the top 20: “A Thing for You” (#20 - Perfect ranking!) - This is such a great easy going toe tapping song that is very much an ear warmer…love the simplicity of the production on this one. “That’ll Make You Wanna Drink” (#18) - I ended up being the lowest ranking participant for this one as the song just didn’t catch my ear nor did I really care for the lyrics which almost come across as bro-country lite in some aspects. “This Feels a Lot Like Love” (#17) - Definitely one of my favorite tracks from his sophomore album and even LBTrocks seemed to agree with me for a change ... this has a great melody and an easy to sing-along with chorus. “Tulsa, Texas” (#13) - I really had no idea where this song was going to end up coming in at so I’m glad it at least placed inside the top 15. Another song with a great melody and solid lyrics. “Are You with Me” (#12) - I thought for sure this was a lock for the top 10 so consider me shocked. I’ve long been disappointed that this was never able to gain much traction at radio as I think this is one of Easton’s best songs he’s ever recorded. “Clockwork” (#11) - I wish I liked this song more but overall it’s just kinda there for me. Also kind of surprised to see it make it this close to making it into the top 10. Speaking of the top 10 I’m not sure what to expect at all but look at the beating that About to Get Real took with only one song remaining! I’m thrilled to see both “Leavin’ a Lonely Town” and “That’s Gonna Leave a Memory” make it in. I still think that “Roll With It” will end up being the likely winner.

^ Wow, I don’t think “That’ll Make You Wanna Drink” is at ALL bro-country. I think it’s a great country song from a traditional-leaning debut album artist.
