 Over the course of the last couple years, we have undertaken a significant journey exploring the massive catalog of one of the most impactful female Country musicians of all time. 44 singles. 12 studio albums. 2 Christmas albums. 40 "Extra" songs from multiple hits compilations, soundtracks, live specials, etc. It has been a huge undertaking, but a fairly significant chunk of people were around for the entire thing, which was so awesome to see! Whether they were already Martina fans or just wanted to get to know her better, people have made epic discoveries, discussed their musical opinions, and solidified their bonds with their Pulse Mates along the way. Now that the Martina McBride album series is complete (at least until she puts out a new album!), there is just one final Martina rankdown for us to do. So far it has been largely about the hits. The hits competed with each other directly in the singles rankdown. The hits also tended to do very well in the album rankdowns. And you would expect the hits to do well; obviously they were released to radio for a reason, and an artist of Martina's stature is going to have hits that helped define both her career as well as the climate of the country industry in which they were released! However, there is WAY more to a music career than just the hits. As Martina stated when I saw her live in concert a couple nights ago, "It's not just about the singles. There are also these things called album tracks. They are all very special to me, and sometimes I worry that they never get heard." (That's a loose quote, but she did say something along those lines! Lol). So that is what we are going to do! For this final Martina rankdown, the singles have been stripped away. This time her most beloved album tracks will be competing head-to-head, without the shadow of the hits to influence the rankings. Martina has WAY too many album tracks to do them all, so I have had to create a basic criteria to try to determine which album tracks are among her "most beloved". I have looked at the results for every album rankdown, and chosen the top 5 highest-finishing album tracks to represent each album (just like castle did in the Jo Dee Messina album tracks rankdown). I felt that this was fair, because it ensures that every album and phase of her career is equally represented. In the sense that the results of our album rankdowns determined which songs got included here, this is literally the culmination of all of our hard work with this album series so far!  I know the list is really big, but I really hope to see the regular participants stick around for one final rankdown. And if any newbies decide that now is the time to check out Martina, that will be awesome as well! For many of these songs, it is absolutely criminal that they never got sent to radio. The goal of this rankdown will be for us to determine what was the biggest missed opportunity of Martina's career! Without further ado, meet the songs you will be ranking:

One more bump to serve as a reminder for those who are still submitting for this! I will plan to close this midway through next week! I'll get the George albums underway, and then I would like to focus on getting this one underway too!

I just entered lists from Cody Wants Out... and SHOOTER!!! My understanding is that Troublemaker and LBTrocks are working on this as well, so I'm okay to give you guys a couple more days to finish if you'd like. If either of you would like to just be tagged instead, let me know and I can make it happen :) And if anyone else wants to submit, there's still a little bit more time! |

SHOOTERFollowing: LBTrocksTroublemakerBlueShades874dubkansasmeetsmoI have left this thing open pretty much an entire month longer than I initially said I was going to, and it has paid off because we pretty much doubled our participation! (I mean, this had pretty much the same amount of interest as one of SHOOTER's Prince rankdowns, so that's pretty cool ;) ) After giving a couple weeks longer than I said I would so that a few stragglers could get their lists in, I have decided it is time to close it. I will tag anybody else who showed interest in the "Following" list. If anybody else would like to be tagged, let me know! I have been looking forward to this rankdown for MONTHS, and I know several of you have as well!! After castleoblivion26's perfect Jo Dee Messina album tracks rankdown, I have been dying to see how Martina's was going to turn out.

Lmao sorry for all the questions! If you want to pick and choose which ones you answer, that's fine with me. I just thought it would be fun for those who know her albums really well to be able to analyze them as deeply as they would like!  {Also, this graphic might help you answer the questions!} |

In what may be a bit of a surprise for some, "If You Don't Know Me By Now" is the first song to leave us from this rankdown. This was the first pre-release track for the Everlasting album, which leads me to believe that this may be one of Martina's favorites from the album. It certainly is one of the first songs I think of whenever I think about the album! This song is slow and boring for some, but imo there is a lot going for it. The horn section in this song is used particularly tastefully. Martina's vocal here comes across as very pensive and reflective. However, in a list as strong as this one, I can absolutely see why it wouldn't do very well. SO many songs in this list are among the biggest missed single opportunities of her entire career, whereas this song is merely a noteworthy moment on an album that was never designed to get any radio attention. Barely receiving only one top-half rank from George Strait Junkie, this song was also the least polarizing song of the entire rankdown! |

Up next, an EXTREMELY unpleasant surprise for...somebody... That's right... Two reveals into this rankdown, someguy has already lost his #1 :'( "We'll Pick Up Where We Left Off" is a fan favorite from Martina's most recent album, Reckless. This O.A.R. cover went semi-viral when it had a music video released and was used as a bit of a theme song for soldiers coming home. I always feel like if the album had had a third single, this was the one they were toying with. Unfortunately, most people just felt that this song didn't quite stack up to the competition in this list... Other than someguy's #1 rank, nobody else had it in their top half. I have heard people who feel that this song plods along and doesn't really do anything exciting. I personally could see why it might be a fan favorite, with the "Wooaaah"s and fairly sing-along-able chorus, but I also can see why it doesn't stack up to the bulk of her career in most peoples' eyes. Also, don't get discouraged someguy! Just remember that every song in this list has already proven itself by even making the list. It may barely be one of her top 60 missed single opportunities, but at least it isn't one of the many many songs that didn't even make the list! |

I definitely think both songs are out too soon but I'm also not upset to see them leave either.

This RD is gonna be wild. I concur. With only 10 participants and these all being a bunch of album cuts, I'm expecting results to be all over the place with this one. Still that we lost a #1 two reveals in on a 60-song rankdown. Oop. |

With only 10 participants and these all being a bunch of album cuts, I'm expecting results to be all over the place with this one.Still that we lost a #1 two reveals in on a 60-song rankdown. Oop. I will say that there are enough participants to where the results started to establish an acceptable amount of consistency. Like, if you notice both songs revealed so far spent the last 3-4 lists all within a couple positions of where they ended up in the end. So we don't really have to worry too much about whether the results would have turned out significantly different if we had more people. However, there are so many varying tastes that there will be plenty of opportunities for everybody to be a major outlier at some point or another  The fact that there really isn't going to be any single bias in this rankdown really takes a lot of the predictability out of it!! To say I'm pumped for peoples' reactions would be an understatement ;) |
