Yeah, "Great Ones" and "RSVP" were the only ones I've been sad to see go thus far. I just have a bad feeling my #1 isn't long for this world, but would be very happy to be wrong! I would love for it to be a single, though maybe other Maren fans don't feel the same.

So if any of y'all picked up on my hint if you were able to see the spoiler tagline title (Daylight is Golden), it was indeed a hint that 'Gold Love' would be leaving us next! I'm quite sad to see it go since some of y'all don't have a gold love in your lives as it was my #4 but even more painful are TWO #1 losses. d3vin44 ClevelandRox sorry to y'all! This song is just an infectious bop and Maren serves VOCALS in that hook! One of my favorites from this album for sure.

I knew Gold Love would be out soon but DAMN. I feel like it’s so overlooked on this album. It’s a vibe... like if I need to get my lazy ass up to do something, this song will encourage me to get up and get movin!

It still don't get MY lazy ass up to do anything but that's another story lmaoYeah, one thing I forgot to mention: y'all will notice the fact that "Gold Love" has the HIGHEST standard deviation of the rankdown! As lists came in, the ranks pretty much ran the gamut for this one, from 1 clear down to 14. Literally only a 3 and 9 are missing from people's ranks Up next, ANOTHER TWO #1 LOSSES!!!!

“Good Woman” was love at first listen and I’m just as surprised that I ended up putting it as my top ranking song as the rest of you, but I’m glad to see I was in good company! I knew that this would be on the polarizing side, though, so I’m not at all shocked to see it out so soon. Everything just really comes together for me on this one…Maren sounds absolutely stunning on this track and I especially like the chorus.
"RSVP" was easily my least favorite song from the get-go and I’m just not really sure what I’m missing here because quite a few of you seem to dig this. It’s the one song that I feel like doesn’t quite fit on this record and I really could’ve done without it. At least it didn’t make it any further than it did!

I'm cookin' up my own flavor Even if it ain't your style. You only see one layer Original could take a while. Making a mess, straight out of scratch Think what you think about that. Oh, I'm just tryna make good a little bit greater I'm cookin' up my own flavor. I'm cookin' up my own flavor.
Yeah, I'm a lady, I make my dough. Won't play the victim, don't fit that mold. I speak my peace, don't do what I'm told.

As toomuchboy expected, their #1 (as well as DistrictTwelve's--sorry to y'all!) bow out here as "Flavor" leaves us at #8. Way too damn low for this song! Easily deserved to be in the Top 5; idk what y'all are doing but damn! This is an infectious jam too, and to echo toomuchboy, I want this one to be the fourth single if we go that deep this era. In fact, if I was her A&R, I would've picked this as the current single over "To Hell & Back" as I feel that "Flavor" has much more of a summery vibe to it. Y'all...we're about to see YET ANOTHER #1 LOSS!!!!

“Flavor” is quite infectious and I kept wanting to listen to it over and over and over again lol. The rankings for a lot of these songs thus far are really all over the place and this seems to be somewhat of a polarizing album overall.

Sorry to you BB🌕!! Bowing out is his #1: "Common", the first of this album's two duets. This collab with Brandi Carlile garnered support from a few other Top 5 ranks including three #2 placements, but also SwiftlySheeran loses his last place. Three people in this set pick up perfect rankings. I like this song, but tbh it's not one of the ones from this album that I find myself wanting to revisit over and over. Still a very solid song, and I LOVE Brandi Carlile!

Yeah, I love this one. I know never to expect *this* one to be a single though; I think some of those lyrics wouldn't sit well with a country audience, even though it would be missing the forest for the trees, imo.

Smoke was comin' off my jacket and you didn't seem to mind I left a long trail of ashes and you said, "I like your style" Now, heartbreak ain't a competition, but I took it in a landslide The skeletons I wanted to bury, you liked out in the light.
You didn't save me You didn't think I needed saving You didn't change me You didn't think I needed changing My wings are frayed and what's left of my halo's black

But wait, what's this?! A TIE?!?!?!?
That's right, "Common" and "To Hell & Back" fought to the bitter end, neither one refusing to give up points. Rather than break the tie by highest single rank or amount of #1s, I decided to break it by lowest standard deviation. Which means the latest single from this era and the first single to leave us wins the tie by a wide margin, as it has the lowest standard deviation of this entire rankdown!

Her next single! While I would’ve chosen something different, I can definitely see the reason why she picked this instead of something like “All My Favorite People” as the “pregnancy/birth single”.

Those low ranks for Flavor are a clear reminder to never eat some of y’alls cooking! And Brandi is amazing but Common is just not that girl! The only lowlight on the album to me although I don’t skip it when listening through.

"Gold Love" and "Flavor" both deserved better. Such jams! "Flavor" is so sassy and I love the lyrics. And then there's the bridge on "Gold Love" which might be my favorite moment of any song on the entire record because it is pure melodic HEAVEN.
