I can't help but think that this song probably finished at #2 in recordyear's personal rankdown based on Lori's name recognition alone... Because the song itself is relatively un-memorable to me. Lori herself sounds more like a songwriter than a vocalist, but I honestly am not convinced I would have been that enamored with the song regardless of who sang it. I do at least enjoy it when I am listening to it, but I then proceed to forget about it immediately. I would have rather "Norman Rockwell World" was able to sneak ahead of it to finish at #2 in recordyear's personal rankdown.

That one hurts "That's When I Knew" is such a fantastic song, and I was floored when it was able to come in at #2 in its album rankdown!!! I love that even as she ages, Reba is still able to give us an epic ballad like this Y'all can look forward to this one showing up in Reba's modern album tracks rankdown, which will be coming soon!!!

What is it with Reba and full-genre RDs?!
I can see this being a bit boring to some due to its production which is admittedly not the greatest imo, but Reba's vocals are great with this song and the lyrics are really great! This deserved to at least go to the Top 30.

I am shook that this song was able to do so well! I enjoy Tanya's sassy energy here, but the song itself sticks out like a sore thumb in a list this strong! Lol. Not for being bad or anything, but for being a super-traditional song by an ancient lady who doesn't usually do well in rankdowns.

Uuuuggghhh, y'all did Carrie DIRTY!!!!!!! I hate "Drinking Alone", and I know it is polarizing, so I was happy seeing that one do horribly in BotB, and I also know that Cry Pretty is not her most consistent album, but "Low" is FANTASTIC!!!! One of the best vocal performances of Carrie's entire career. This song should have at least been top 20 here. The amount of lists that tanked this are just plain ridiculous. This is one of the most widely-praised album tracks she has ever had, so this is one of the few instances where I can't help but feel like this was a bit of a tank job... Thank goodness we have the Carrie Underwood album tracks rankdown to look forward to (I plan to launch it once we're sure there won't be any more singles from Cry Pretty), and I am sure we can count on this song to do MUCH better in that rankdown...

At least this song hits top 40 of rankdown.

"Fire Away" is one of the few Chris Stapleton songs that I truly love, so I was so happy to see it come in in the top 2 of his rankdown!! This finish feels about right considering what is left, but just let it be known that I like this one! Lol

“Low” is my favorite song on Cry Pretty. I love the production, the crescendo, the electric guitars, everything! In fact let me go listen to it right now...

"Holdin' Heaven" is the first song we have seen that was a #1 contender! That's right, this song was BRIEFLY at #1 with our second list, thanks to the consecutive high ranks of tim and singingrulebritannia. Before it was immediately brought back to earth with my more reasonable rank ;) I do enjoy this song quite a bit, but tbh in a list as strong as this it kinda feels more like '90s filler than many of the other songs do. I think this is a good spot for its exit.

"Desperately" was one of the more controversial #2 finishers to a George rankdown. This song was not really a #2 contender at all, until a sudden surge at the end helped it to get there. It was a big hit, so understandably has its share of supporters, but there are also those who are in the camp that feels that this is one of his more boring hits.
I personally fall somewhere in the middle. I was hoping for an album track winner from this album, so seeing singles dominate the entire top 2 was not my favored outcome. I do like this song a lot, but there are better songs on the album that I feel this one eclipsed due to single bias. But I am glad to see it wasn't heavily tanked in this rankdown! Somewhere near the middle feels pretty good :)

"When The Lights Go Down" didn't get any top 5s, but I believe it has the most top 10 losses we have seen of any song thus far! However, it also has it fair share of tankers, including 5 bottom 10s...
Imo this song really emphasizes all the strengths of Faith's voice. She absolutely NAILS this song! That orchestral arrangement is also beautiful. I can understand somebody not liking this because it is kinda on the pop-leaning side of the spectrum, but wish it had been able to do a bit better here.

LBTrocks didn't even submit to help his guy out. Way to leave me high and dry for this one, Flops. I felt bad leaving Michael Ray high and dry too cuz I knew he'd be one of the first few out without me, but I had absolutely no time to put a list together for this one.

BTW, I think "Get To You" would have been my #2 or #3. I would have put "Satisfied" by Ashley Monroe ahead of it and possibly Reba's "Maggie Creek Road" above it, too.

I mean I knew I was supporting some songs not as many would but did I really tank that many of your faves?? At least people are predicting a few of my top 10s as contenders for the win...

"Desperately" was one of the more controversial #2 finishers to a George rankdown. This song was not really a #2 contender at all, until a sudden surge at the end helped it to get there. It was a big hit, so understandably has its share of supporters, but there are also those who are in the camp that feels that this is one of his more boring hits. I personally fall somewhere in the middle. I was hoping for an album track winner from this album, so seeing singles dominate the entire top 2 was not my favored outcome. I do like this song a lot, but there are better songs on the album that I feel this one eclipsed due to single bias. But I am glad to see it wasn't heavily tanked in this rankdown! Somewhere near the middle feels pretty good :) I love Desperately, but I agree that it wasn't one of the 2 best from that record. "As Far As It Goes" is easily one of George's biggest missed opportunities, I would've loved to have seen how that fared here. Still, was hoping for a top half finish for "Desperately" and it fell just a few spots short, so not terrible.

"All My Ex's Live In Texas" is an all-time classic, but honestly it has worn on me more through the years than just about any other George Strait song. I still love it, but I am more than okay seeing this bow out well before "Ocean Front Property" did in the BotB rankdown!
