Oh this...the song that castleoblivion26 is gonna probably beat me with in the World War Top 40 thread and take my 20 points A great song. I do tend to like "Good Girl" a bit more if only because I don't revisit Crazy Ex-Girlfriend as much as Blown Away but "Famous in a Small Town" is great as well

"The Truth" leaves next. Honestly, did anybody think Jason Aldean would ever win a year-end rankdown??!! On one hand I am happy for him, but on another I am incredibly bitter because "Independence Day" was on pace to win the 1994 year-end rankdown by OVER 200 POINTS, but then TWO people tanked her hard enough to negate that entire 200 point gap......... And yet right after that, Jason freaking Aldean, one of the most-hated artists on Pulse, coasts easily to the top of the next year-end rankdown without any struggle whatsoever... Still, "The Truth" is one of his best songs. Never in a million years thought it was the BEST song of 2010 though. (And neither did anybody else, because it got exactly zero #1 rankings in that rankdown... )

I really hope Ashley Monroe would record her version of The Truth. I don't think Reba and Jennifer vocals fit each other.

"Enough" felt like one of the most acclaimed tracks when Reba blessed us with her long-awaited comeback album in 2015 after basically disappearing for the entire first half of the decade in the wake of the epic nosedive in her radio relevance at the end of the All The Women I Am era. And that acclaim helped it to get enough support to beat the biggest hit from the album ("Going Out Like That") as well as the song that went viral due to its dedication to Reba's father in the wake of his passing ("Just Like Them Horses"). This song serves us with an incredible wife/lover perspective that could easily be considered a perfect followup to "Does He Love You". And Reba and Jennifer both absolutely slay with their vocal performances here!! It is a song that managed to get tanked heavily here, probably for many of the same reasons as "Back To God" minus the religious ones (bombastic, less-known, etc.), but you can undoubtedly look forward to it doing much better when we do an album tracks rankdown for Reba in the VERY near future

I didn't really give anyone time to guess the hint, so that was nice of me. But basically it was a gif of Billie Eillish winning her first of many Grammy awards this year. In the same awards show where Tanya Tucker also won her first ever Grammy awards for this song and this album!!!!!
"Bring My Flowers Now" is an emotional, classy song that undoubtedly deserves the acclaim it has received. I can definitely understand it leaving relatively quickly in this rankdown though, because sonically it kinda sticks out like a sore thumb in this list... It's lucky to have escaped the bottom 10, tbh.

ladyđfan but there are country hosts who have been known to leave hints like "I posted a picture of a Ford pickup truck because the first time I heard this song I was sitting in an ice cream shop looking outside and a Chevy pickup truck drove by while I was eating!" My hints are fine ;)

ANYWAY, with "Baby Blue" bowing out, George Strait finally loses his first song, and ClevelandRox joins the #2 loss club. (Seriously, this rankdown must be setting some kind of record for most #2 losses in the first 15 reveals!) This song is BEAUTIFUL, with the echoey '80s production, that soaring chorus melody, and the catchy yet simple steel guitar riff that carries the song. But in a list as strong as this one, I am fine seeing this one leave now. I mean, George almost escaped the bottom 15 without a single loss! This is a HUGE improvement over the last BotB, when he WAS the bottom 15! Lol

Well since we mentioned this song already, might as well give it its feature!!!!!! This song has been a HUGE rankdown contender in every BotB cycle so far!!! It won its artist rankdown, it won its album rankdown, it finished 2nd place in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown, it finished at 3rd place in the first Best of the Best rankdown and its year-end rankdown, and was really the only contender to WIN its year-end rankdown for the entire submission process.... And in THIS set, it finished at #1 in its songwriter's rankdown!!! Lmao you can say this song has truly done about all it can do!! Ladies and gentlemen, "Independence Day"!!!!!
Bonus: "Independence Day" - Martina McBride
Finished at #1 in the: Gretchen Peters Songwriter rankdown (Host: castleoblivion26 )
