Skin should have made it instead of Rewind, but otherwise this is a pretty impeccable top 15. I've always wanted to love "Why", it starts out so beautifully, but Dann Huff's heavy handed production really drags it down. "Here" is a good song with a strong melody, but they had already covered that ground much better, and the lyrics are a tad weak. I'm fine with both of those being out. The reveals are going to start getting painful.
Miss the top 10: Rewind Stand Feels Like Today Life Is a Highway This Everyday Love (I'd rather see My Wish go here, but I think it makes it through)

I’m surprised “Stand” is still in. I recall people being disappointed it wasn’t another track on that record getting a chance at radio but it still did well for them reaching #1. It’s a good song but definitely thought it would’ve been out by now.

The song that lost the tie here was Rascal Flatts' second ever single, "This Everyday Love". That leaves "Prayin' for Daylight" and "I'm Movin' On" as the still standing songs from their debut album. Both this song and the #14 song only finished 24 points away from #10, so had some of us not tanked it, it could've had a legitimate shot at the top 10! Sorry to the five people who lost a top 10 here - I just don't enjoy this as much as other RF songs, I only dislike my bottom 4 songs... #15: "This Everyday Love" Album: Rascal Flatts
Points: 404 (8 points ahead of "Here", tied in points with #14) Standard Deviation: 11.678 Country Radio Peak (Billboard): #9
Ranks: Movement: 35 18 27 15 17 14 10 15 14 12 12 11 13 14 14 12 17 15

The last 2010s Rascal Flatts song falls here, as "Rewind" falls short of the top 10 by 4 positions. bboat11's #2 rank helped the song win the tiebreaker against "This Everyday Love". The song bounced around in the teens throughout the submission process and looked like it would almost fall out of the top 20, but it held on and actually moved up in ranks before the end. I might have been a bit too harsh on this song, but the song didn't really jump out at me when I listened to it for the first time in a while for this rankdown. I definitely did like the song back then though. #14: "Rewind" Album: Rewind
Points: 404 (tied in points with "This Everyday Love", 14 points behind #13) Standard Deviation: 11.015 Country Radio Peak (Billboard): #3
Ranks: Movement: 36 32 19 20 12 17 15 11 12 16 18 19 18 18 13 17 15 14

Ok that's much better... also cool to see a couple of people who tanked "This Everyday Love" lose top 10 ranks here.

Up next at #13 is the song with the highest standard deviation of the game, "I'm Movin' On". This song finished only 10 points behind #10, but how divisive was seemed to have hurt the song. This song amassed eight top 10 ranks but also had its share of tankers as five people ranked this song in their bottom 10. "Prayin' for Daylight" is now the only song standing from their debut album - will that one hold on enough to make the top 10? Stay tuned.
Also: "I'm Movin' On" is beautiful you all, haters stay hating :sip2: #13: "I'm Movin' On" Album: Rascal Flatts
Points: 418 (14 points ahead of "Rewind", 7 points behind #12) Standard Deviation: 13.014 (HIGHEST SD) Country Radio Peak (Billboard): #4
Ranks: Movement: 8 11 16 11 13 11 12 13 10 9 9 9 11 14 17 15 13 13

I was actually certain that "I'm Movin' On" would have been my first top 7 (the songs I actually care about) to go lol. Anyway, I've always adored this one. It's gorgeous. That vocal arrangement slays, even if its Gary's voice delivering it, and this is the best their harmonies have ever sounded. The instrumental is fantastic. Sucks it couldn't make it to the top 10, but I was also expecting it out much earlier, so I'm not too upset.

"This Everyday Love" is blah. Overstayed.
Sad to see "Rewind" go. Definitely one of their catchiest. That chorus is just melodic gold.
It's a fairly pretty song, but "I'm Movin' On" is just a touch boring for me so I can't listen to it very much.

Missing the top 10 by a mere 3 points is one of Rascal Flatts' most-well known song outside of the country world thanks to being attached to a hit movie, "Life Is a Highway". More than half of us ranked this song in the top 20, but there were some of us who didn't like the song as much. The song was always right around #10, but it ultimately fell out of the top 10 at the last minute - it only finished 3 points behind #10 so one more submission could've completely changed everything! Now, which song is the unlucky song that got stuck at #11 and missed the top 10? #12: "Life Is a Highway" Album: Cars: The Soundtrack
Points: 425 (7 points ahead of "I'm Movin' On", 1 point behind #11 and 3 points behind #10!!) Standard Deviation: 11.083 Country Radio Peak (Billboard): #18
Ranks: Movement: 14 6 7 12 10 13 11 10 12 11 11 13 14 9 8 9 11 12

"Life Is a Highway" is their one song that overplay has absolutely killed imo. I used to really like this, but I almost can't listen to it now. It's just been beat to death so much over the years and it just hasn't held up the way songs like "What Hurts the Most" or "Fast Cars and Freedom" have.

And the final song to miss the top 10 is..."Feels Like Today"! "Feels Like Today" is the final song to get booted before the top 10, as it misses the top 10 by 2 points. Only 4 people lose a top 10 here (led by my #5 rank) - no one ranked this in their bottom 10, which probably helped it come this far and almost make the top 10 despite the relative lack of support up top; it actually had the seventh lowest standard deviation. This song kept bouncing around right outside of the top 10, returning to the top 10 for the first time since my list with the second to last submission but it got knocked out of the top 10 with the last list. Cody Wants Out... you were the one who submitted the last list, your list provided some interesting shakeups!! #11: "Feels Like Today" Album: Feels Like Today
Points: 426 (1 point ahead of "Life Is a Highway", 2 points behind #10) Standard Deviation: 7.063 Country Radio Peak (Billboard): #9
Ranks: Movement: 5 14 13 14 14 15 16 12 11 13 14 15 15 13 12 11 10 11
