Predictions Time!!!!!
The end of the day is here, so like I promised, I am posting some prediction questions before I go to bed. If anybody is still working on a list, and wants to sneak it in late tonight or while I am at work tomorrow, I will still accept them. That's it though, because I will start reveals as soon as I get home and have had time to enter said last-minute lists!
Now, for those who have already submitted, let's do some predictions
1. What will be #1? 2. What will be #105? 3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10? 4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing? 5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? 6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") 7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown 8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? 9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) 10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? 11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? 12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? 13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? 14. Any other thoughts/predictions?
Lists So Far: 4. @trilogy 11. @xfer

Disclaimer: I'm terrible at these! 1. What will be #1? I just have a good feeling about Miss Me More 2. What will be #105? I'm sure a few people ranked Old Town Road high so I'll go with The Git Up/The Git Down, whatever it was. 5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win?I think Dierks would have more of a shot of the two 6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound")I like both, but can see them doing poorly. Most of Pulse was never on board with Love Wins and only liked Southbound for bringing her back to radio. I had both in my top 30 so I hope they can finish in the top half. 7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown)I think both will have a lot of support but Homesick probably 8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here?I remember Up Down doing terrible last year but this seemed to have a better response. Hopefully in the top half. 10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs?I can see MMM and The Bones in the top ten with the other two going in the 30's-40's 11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks?The Bones? Especially since most lists were done now while it's at its peak 12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks?Old Town Road 13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process?I'll say 4

I rarely do predictions and suck at them but it's 5am and I'm wide awake so why not 1. What will be #1? "Miss Me More" unless austin was able to successfully tank it, it's probably his last place or close to it.2. What will be #105? That Blanco Brown garbage, for sure. I can't imagine anything else being last.3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10? So in a perfect world... Top 10: Miss Me More, The Daughters, Girl Goin Nowhere, Dark Horse, The Weight of This Badge. Bottom 10: Blanco, "Every Little Thing" "90s Country" both Dan + Shay songs and "Talk You Out of It"4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most polarizing: "Old Town Road." Least Polarizing: No idea, maybe sometihing like "Girl Goin' Nowhere cuz who wouldn't just adore the song and Ashley? 5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? Neither will have a chance to win... "Living" will definitely do better than "I Don't Remember Me Before You" and it'll be top 40 for sure. idk how The Brothers Osborne song will do, but I hope they can manage at least a top 50 placement.6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") They should both do decently well cuz Carrie, but I think "Southbound" will definitely fare better and she'll probably be top 30 minimum. "Love Wins" will be lower, but should still easily be in the top 40 or 50 songs.7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) Probably Jake Owen.8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? He has a lot of supporters on here so probably somewhere in the 30s if not higher. I can't stand him, but even I didn't outright tank this. There's definitely worse songs from this year.9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) Hopefully low cuz neither song was that good. 10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? Kelsea will probably do better. I could see Maren having the bigger gap.11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? Probably "Rainbow"12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? "The Git Up"13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? 2 or 3?14. Any other thoughts/predictions? My #1 has a good shot of making top 10 this year and possibly winning so yay!

1. What will be #1? "Rainbow" or "More Hearts Than Mine" 2. What will be #105? "We Back" or "The Git Up" 3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10? "More Hearts Than Mine", "Buy My Own "Drinks", "Rainbow", "The Bones", "Girl", will make the Top 10. "Knockin Boots", "We Back", "The Git Up" and maybe "Talk You Out Of It" will make the bottom 10 4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing? "Old Town Road" for most, least will be either "Rainbow" or "More Hearts Than Mine" 5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? Nope. I do think both make the Top 50 but not Top 30 6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") "Love Wins" scrapes Top 30 and "Southbound" just barely misses the Top 10 7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown "Homemade" 8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? Top 40 9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) Top 50 but comes up shy of the Top 30 like Brothers Osborne and Dierks Bentley 10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? Maren will do better overall, I do think Kelsea will have the larger gap with "Miss Me More" going out shockingly in the Top 30 while the other 3 songs here go out at the earliest Top 15 11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? "Rainbow" 12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? "The Git Up" 13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? I think it was a constant battle between "Rainbow" and "More Hearts Than Mine" 14. Any other thoughts/predictions I hope Lauren Alaina does well and same with Runaway June.

1. What will be #1? Probably something like "Miss Me More" or "Rainbow." I can definitely see Kacey winning this year with that beautiful, motivating song.2. What will be #105? "Old Town Road" or that Blanco garbage. Please.3. Which songs belong in the top 10? The good songs lol Bottom 10? The bad songs lol4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Probably songs like "Love Wins" Least polarizing? Whatever's in the Top 5 probably5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? I personally don't think Brothers Osbourne will take this year but I do see "Living" winning this.6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") "Love Wins" is sadly probably going to do horribly because a lot of Pulse seems to think the song is awful. I don't expect "Southbound" to go too far either, despite the Mediabase #1 it received. It's another song Pulse seems to not like at all.7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) I'm rooting for "Homemade"8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? I see this one winning as well, but if it doesn't it will definitely be in the Top 59. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) Congrats to both on their deserved nominations, and a HUGE congrats to Tanya on her first ever wins! "Freedom" will probably end its run in the Top 50 or so, as well as "While I'm Livin.'" (EDIT: bboat11 girl do you mean BRING MY FLOWERS NOW cause that's what I thought)10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? Maren will have the larger gap, and Kelsea will probably do better overall. Love them both!11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? Oh God, anything that's in the Top 5-10?12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? OTR or that Blanco trash13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? Probably at least all of the Top 10-2014. Any other thoughts/predictions? Excited to see how quickly I lose my #1! and it was evident, especially since I did the 2011 and 2019 years back to back, just how dramatically country music changed in the last decade, and how it seems to be changing again, slowly going back to its more traditional sound (except Loretta Lynn doesn't think so, in fact she thinks country music is and tbh there for a minute I would've agreed with her and I still do to an extent). But going through this rankdown, 2019 (while it had its songs ) was a better year in country music than I thought!

1. What will be #1? This is one of the first years where I don’t see any one song in particular as having an edge, so because of that I find this one a bit hard to predict. My gut instinct says that “Rainbow” is the most likely song to win, but I also think “Even Though I’m Leaving”, “More Hearts Than Mine”, and “What If I Never Get Over You” are all contenders as well.
2. What will be #105? Preferably something along the lines of “We Back” or “The Git Up”
3. Which songs belong in the top 10? The aforementioned songs “Rainbow”, “Even Though I’m Leaving”, “More Hearts Than Mine”, and “What If I Never Get Over You” are all likely top ten contenders. Other songs that I’d like to see in are “Every Girl in This Town”, “It All Comes Out in the Wash”, “God’s Country”, “In Between”, and “Girl Goin’ Nowhere”. Of course it goes without saying that “Every Little Honky Tonk Bar” should make it in!
Bottom 10? “We Back”, “The Git Up”, “Hell Right”, “Old Town Road”, “Bring It on Over”, “Feels Like a Party”, “Rednecker”, “Never Comin’ Down”, and “Alochol You Later” all seem as likely contenders....and just for good measure I’ll throw in “Dive Bar”
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? “Ridin’ Roads”, “Love Wins”, and “Miss Me More” Least polarizing? “What If I Never Get Over You”, “Even Though I’m Leaving”, “Rainbow”
5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? Top 20 How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Top 40 Do either of them have a chance to win? Very unlikely
6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? “Southbound” in the top 25 and "Love Wins" in the top 40
7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? "Homemade" by Jake Owen > "Homesick" by Kane Brown
8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? This song really grew on me a bit over time so I actually hope it performs well...I’ll guess top 40
9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire and Tanya Tucker finish? I think “Freedom” will be a bit more polarizing so I’ll guess top 40 while Tanya sneaks into the top 20
10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? I think Maren will fare better and while I didn’t list either “The Bones” or “Girl” above under what should make the top ten I do think one of the two songs stands a decent chance of getting in there. Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? Definitely Kelsea
11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? “Rainbow” or “More Hearts Than Mine”
12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? “Old Town Road”
13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? Umm...four?
14. Any other thoughts/predictions? So after spending quite a bit of time with these songs I have to say that overall 2019 wasn’t all that bad in general, but as I mentioned in a previous post the problem continues to be with country radio. They’ve certainly seemed to corner themselves going after a specific demographic/age group but have turned away such listeners as myself who now seek out music elsewhere.

I didn't answer all of these, but here are some:
1. What will be #1? Lady Antebellum.
2. What will be #105? Something with Blake Shelton, hopefully.
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? I can see Good Vibes being polarizing. Rainbow by Kacey because Kacey always has her tankers and its not even her best song.
5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? The latter more than the former, imo.
6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") Probably end up in the 30-40 range.
7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) Homesick.
8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? Wow, I would've never guessed that song was the biggest hit from this list. I had a different answer, but, in that case, at least top 20.
9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? I would like to say very high, but I don't really expect it.
10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? I think Miss Me More will be the highest song overall of the four. I think Kelsea will have the largest gap between the two as well.
11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? Rainbow.
14. Any other thoughts/predictions? I enjoyed the list much more than I expected. 2019 country has been a touch better than the past few years; since I isolate myself mostly from general country at this point, I wouldn't know without doing these rankdowns. I suppose some of the backlash over the lack of women and all the misogynist/drinking songs might've caused some improvement, but my guess is it won't last long with country. They'll probably be back to normal in 2020 or 2021.

Eh, why not. 1. What will be #1?* Love seeing these guesses for "Miss Me More", but I don't think there's an obvious winner here. Maybe "The Bones" could pull off an upset, even if it's a long shot? 2. What will be #105?*Quite a bunch of clunkers that qualify for last place imo, especially "The Git Up". Wouldn't be surprised to see "Old Town Road" near the bottom, but I think it'll have some supporters along with several other songs like "90s Country", "We Back", and "Rednecker". 3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10?*Top 10: "Miss Me More", both Maren songs hopefully, "Even Though I'm Leaving", "Heartache Medication", "Ladies in the 90s", "Rainbow", and...I don't really know what else. *Bottom 10: "The Git Up", "Alcohol You Later" (please), at least one LoCash song, "Rednecker" (pretty please?), and possibly "Back to Life" or "Dive Bar"? 4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?*I think "Whiskey Glasses", "Beer Never Broke My Heart", "Hell Right", "Love Someone", and "It All Comes Out in the Wash" will be among the most polarizing in this bunch, while "The Bones", "Miss Me More", "Catch", "Raised on Country", and "What If I Never Get Over You will be less polarizing. 5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win?*I heard "Living" everywhere last year and it wouldn't surprise me if it makes the top ten, but I doubt it'll make much farther than that. "I Don't Remember Me (Before You)" otoh was a near discovery for me, but I hope it can make the middle of the rankdown (50s to 60s) at least. Very slim chance either song will win btw. 6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound")*"Love Wins" will probably leave around the mid-50s to the 60s while "Southbound (guilty pleasure, I confess) will make it close to the top 40. 7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown*Rootin' for "Homemade", although I dinged it a few spots on my list for superficial reasons! 8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here?*I'm gonna say it'll leave in the mid-40s. 9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("Bring My Flowers Now") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!)*Reba will most likely finish in the top 30 somewhere with Tanya barely making the top half. 10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs?*Maren will do better overall while Kelsea will have a larger gap between her two songs. 11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks?"Miss Me More"? 12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks?*Either "The Git Up" or "Old Town Road". 13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process?*Taking a shot in the dark and going with nine! 14. Any other thoughts/predictions?*I was more familiar with these songs than I anticipated! I'll make more comments as the reveals commence.

Remember that all predictions are for fun, don't take too much seriously:
1. What will be #1? This feels like a crapshoot where there's a number of songs with a chance, but I'm going with Maren Morris and Girl to take this.
2. What will be #105? Luke Bryan's Sex Jam
3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10?
Top 10: Both Maren Morris songs, Miss Me More, Rainbow, More Hearts Than Mine, at least one Luke Combs, Buy My Own Drinks, Raised on Country, Girl Goin' Nowhere
Bottom 10: Luke Bryan's Sex Jam, The Git Up (alas), Alcohol You Later, at least one LoCash (although no complaints if both leave), We Back, Hell Right, 90s Country, To A T, perhaps 10,000 Hours?
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?
Most: God's Country, Kinfolks, Rainbow, Old Town Road Least: Never Get Over You, The Bones, One of the LoCash tunes, Alcohol You Later
5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win?
To answer the last question first, nope. Living ends up in the top 30. I Don't Remember Me Before You makes the top 40.
6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") Better than on radio. Love Wins will probably just make the top 50. Southbound might make the top 30.
7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) Without Shooter to tank Kan't Brown, Homesick takes this one by a few spots.
8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? I think this squeaks by in the top 50.
9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!)
While I'm Livin' just misses out on the top 10. Freedom ends up in the bottom half.
10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs?
Based on my earlier predictions, I think Maren will do better with two top 10s. Although Kelsea is quite likely to make the top 10 with Miss Me More, she'll have the larger gap because Homecoming Queen will just make top 40.
11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? Miss Me More
12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? The Git Up will tie with Luke Bryan's Sex Jam
13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? I'll say 5, but I'm just spitballin'.
14. Any other thoughts/predictions?
Three Bold Predictions:
1. Old Town Road will easily escape the bottom 10...I think it'll end up in the high 70s-low 80s.
2. One of the Brooks and Dunn numbers makes the top 20.
3. Don't sleep on Every Little Honky Tonk Bar.

1. What will be #1? Hmm... Kacey's a contender for sure with "Rainbow" but I'm going to go with "What If I Never Get Over You" - I feel like people really liked this one.
2. What will be #105? Something like "We Back" perhaps?
3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10? Top 10: Rainbow, What If I Never Get Over You, Even Though I'm Leaving, Miss Me More, It All Comes Out In The Wash, GIRL, The Bones, Buy My Own Drinks Bottom 10: We Back, 90's Country, Dive Bar, Never Comin' Down, Someone I Used To Know, Alcohol You Later
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most polarizing: "God's Country"? Least polarizing: Hmm... I can see "The Ones That Didn't Make It Back Home" being less polarizing - it's not bad by any means so...
5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? I can see "Living" in the top 20 whereas "I Don't Remember Me (Before You)" will make top 40. I don't think either have a shot to win.
6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") I think "Southbound" will do better since "Love Wins" does have its detractors.
7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) "Homemade"
8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? I think it'll finish in the top 40.
9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) "Freedom": A top 40 finish. "Bring My Flowers Now": A top 25 finish.
10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? I can see "Miss Me More" making it the furthest, but I think Maren will have the smaller gap between their two songs.
11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? "Rainbow"
12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? "The Git Up"
13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? I'm going to say 4.
14. Any other thoughts/predictions? I'm just excited for another mess of a rankdown that is about to happen!

9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) Congrats to both on their deserved nominations, and a HUGE congrats to Tanya on her first ever wins! "Freedom" will probably end its run in the Top 50 or so, as well as "While I'm Livin.'" (EDIT: bboat11 girl do you mean BRING MY FLOWERS NOW cause that's what I thought)Oop! I may be pretty close to perfect, but I guess I'm not quite there yet Thank goodness most of you had the critical thinking skills to figure out what I meant!

1. What will be #1? Some contenders for the win: "The Bones," "What If I Never Get Over You," "More Hearts Than Mine," "Rainbow," "Neon Moon"
2. What will be #105? "The Git Up" is my guess
3. Which songs belong in the top 10? Bottom 10? The 5 I guessed for #1 are all likely to be high. I think that "Die from a Broken Heart" is liable to be pretty high as well. Maybe "Even Though I'm Leaving" and "Living" for the guys. | Bottom 10... stuff like "The Git Up," "Old Town Road," "Rednecker," "Dive Bar," "Hell Right," and "We Back" seem like locks. Think "Alcohol You Later" and "Never Comin' Down" are likely as well. "Nothing to Do Town" probably. Maybe something from LoCash too.
4. Which songs will be the most polarizing? "Rowdy"? Least polarizing? "The Bones"?
5. Dierks Bentley & Brothers Osborne won the 2018 rankdown in a bit of a shocking, unexpected twist. How will Dierks' song this year do ("Living")? How will Bros Osborne's song do ("I Don't Remember Me Before You")? Do either of them have a chance to win? "Living" will probably be top 20 at minimum. Brothers Osborne I see placing lower, maybe around #40.
6. Carrie Underwood seems to be struggling to get attention at radio with her recent album era. How will her songs do here? ("Love Wins" and "Southbound") Both in the top 40, but I can see them landing in say the mid 20s.
7. Which "Home" song will finish higher? ("Homemade" - Jake Owen vs. "Homesick" - Kane Brown) "Homemade"
8. The biggest hit of the year was Morgan Wallen's "Whiskey Glasses". Where can we expect that to finish here? I think it'll land somewhere around 20-25.
9. Where will the GRAMMY NOMINEES Reba McEntire ("Freedom") and Tanya Tucker ("While I'm Livin'") finish? (Tanya ended up winning for both song and album btw; her first Grammy victories!!!) Reba around #35, Tanya around #50.
10. Maren vs. Kelsea!! Both have 2 hits from this year. ("GIRL" and "The Bones" vs. "Miss Me More" and "homecoming queen?") Which lady will do better overall? Who will have a larger gap between their two songs? I predict it'll be "The Bones" over "Girl" and "Miss Me More" over "homecoming queen?" | Maren will do better, and Kelsea will have the bigger gap.
11. Which song will have the most #1 ranks? "The Bones" perhaps?
12. Which song will have the most #105 ranks? Possibly "The Git Up" or "Rednecker"
13. How many different songs occupied the #1 position throughout the submission process? I'll say... 7.

bboat11 I'm already chompin' at the bit to see what randomly ended up in last place, but ultimately, it's up to you when you want to start revealing. I'm not really in a nagging mood tonight. :)
