Oh, just noticed I was the third lowest ranking participant of a George freaking Strait song. TBH, this has never really been a go-to song from him and I find it to be a tad bit overplayed as it’s one that I hear A LOT. Like I said, though, I’m thrilled he squeezed into the top five here.

Lol you got a lotta nerve saying this only for me to see where you ranked "What That Drink Cost Me." Yikes indeed. I didn't rank it 50 though~ Not like it mattered. You were still the clear outlier which is why you dragged me.

I can't believe this isn't in the Top 3! Wow! Wouldn't have been sad to see it win.
As for my #1, I'm not getting my hopes up yet...I don't wanna go down that road only to see that hope dashed

Well there went a lot of your #1 prediction After Miranda won the previous RotB rankdown, it was very fitting to predict she might do the same thing here! Alas, she just fell short. #4 was her best position throughout the entire rankdown, so it's nice she was able to settle in there and hang on at the end :)

“Maggie Creek Road” is a great song, but in the end a lot of these album tracks ended up near the bottom part of my list. Excited to see how this one does in her album tracks rankdown, though!

Unfortunately for taylor , her #1 bows out next. Reba's "Maggie Creek Road" put up a hell of a fight here, hanging out in the top 5 for nearly the entire submission process! Ultimately it landed at #3 and held steady for 6 whole lists at the end, holding Miranda, George, and several others all at bay successfully. I am SO happy with this considering how most of Reba's songs got shafted here This placement is beyond what I had hoped for!!!! Now, look forward to this song getting another chance in Reba's album tracks rankdown!!! Considering how well it did here, I am hopeful that it might be able to win that one!

Alright, Martina versus Terri!!! "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues" vs. "I Just Wanna Be Mad"! Two severely underrated songs from two artists who do not usually win full-genre rankdowns! Regardless of how all of this plays out, I am THRILLED with this ending!!!

And can I just add that bboat11 ’s Martina avatar is from the music video of “When God-Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” and is one that I personally made myself With that said, this song better freaking finally win!

See I knew Reba wouldn't be in the Top 2 but I'm so glad "Maggie Creek Road" put up such a fight and was in the Top 5 nearly the entire time!!! Happy it snatched the bronze!
Can't wait to see how well this one does in the modern album tracks rankdown! The parent album is overall just an incredible album.

Not me being the lowest ranker for this! bboat11 don't confiscate my Martina stan card pls Despite my #22 rank, I'm definitely not upset to see this song win! Martina deserves to finally win one of these damn things! Thanks for hosting bboat11 and I can't wait to see how the songs I hosted do in BotB/RotB IV

Wow "When God-Fearin' Women Get the Blues" had no bottom half ranks! That's impressive especially for Martina who always seems to have a few tankers. Thanks for hosting bboat11, wonderful set of songs (I mean duh they finished at #2 in at least one rankdown).

Y'all should notice that this top 2 was pretty much written in stone for the entire submission process. Both of these songs were IMPRESSIVE competitors here. Martina leapt to #1 almost immediately and hung on without any competition whatsoever. Terri also got to #2 very quickly, and other than the brief bubble in the middle when Garth overtook her at #2 for a few lists, she held on to #2 with absolutely no competition whatsoever as well. I am SO happy for both of these ladies Two of my very favorite artists!! Also, you might notice that Martina's song was the only one to finish at #2 twice within this eligibility period, so seeing this song finally win a rankdown is a truly sweet redemption

I’m thrilled that “When God-Fearin’ Women Get the Blues” was finally able to pull off a victory in a rankdown because it was starting to feel like this was going the way of Jo Dee’s “Bye Bye”. So how appropriate is it then that both got their revenge with one winning Part I and the other Part III! Thanks again for hosting, bboat11 !

Thinking When God-Fearin’ Women Get The Blues might have a shot for #1. Really cool Despite my ranking this is probably one of my most favorite Martina McBride songs in these rankdowns, so I'm glad it takes the crown. Thanks bboat11 for hosting!

Thanks again to everybody for participating and following along! I personally felt like this was the funnest BotB/RotB cycle yet, and I appreciate us generally keeping it positive and not ranking with an agenda. It really helped restore my joy in doing these after the last couple kinda devolved into a super chaotic hot mess.

It really helped restore my joy in doing these after the last couple kinda devolved into a super chaotic hot mess. tea?!?! if you need me imma be going through the first two BotB/RotB threads Like, there was literally somebody in the first BotB rankdown whose entire bottom 7 was Martina, with "Independence Day" in last place And the rest of the female artists filled up the rest of his bottom ranks in clusters (like Sara's songs were the next 3, Taylor's were the next 5, Carrie's were the next 3, Jo Dee's were the next 2, etc.) I made him redo his list. He boardicided shortly after Still, it felt like there were certain artists getting tanked more than others just because people are known fans of them. Plus artists getting ranked more harshly just because they have more songs in the rankdown (which is the stupidest logic I have ever heard.....) Basically, rankdowns like this really open the door for strategic ranking rather than simply ranking based on quality.

There's no other logical explanation for it Who the hell cares how many songs an artist has in a rankdown? What kind of crazy talk is that?!
