"half of my hometown" was JUST released as the album's next single, and based on its performance here it was definitely the correct choice! Had this not just become a single, I have no doubt it would have still finished this high and been considered the album's top album track. This has been one of the most buzz-worthy songs since the album was first released, second only to "hole in the bottle" in the acclaim department. They knocked it out of the park by choosing them both as singles, which is nice to see after the horrible performance of "the other girl" could have easily doomed the era if they had made the wrong single choices. I look forward to seeing how well this does on the charts! Although I am also excited for it to be finished so we can see how her new music sounds... Edit: "half of my hometown" is also the first song of this entire album to not have a single last place rank

Look damn good in the dress, Zipping up the mess, Dancing with your best foot forward. Did you want the crown Or does it weigh you down? Nobody's feeling sorry for ya. But what if I told you the world wouldn't end If you started showing what's under your skin? What if you let 'em all in on the lie? Even the homecoming queen cries .
2. "homecoming queen?"
Track 3
I went and got a new one 'Cause the other one was broken. Now this one's halfway gone, And it's barely even open. There's a hole in the bottle, Leakin' all this wine. It's already empty and it ain't even suppertime.
1. "hole in the bottle"
Track 8

Ok I am so happy that “needy” did so well! It was my song of the summer last year. Nothing felt better than driving to the lake, sunroof open and blasting “needy” ❤️. Can’t wait to do that again here soon!

Thank you all for participating and following along! I enjoyed hosting this one quite a bit, and I am pleased to see so much passion for both of these albums!
I had been planning to just host this album for now and then go back and do her first two later, like maybe this fall. But seeing how much passion there is for this album, I'm considering just continuing the series right now! I'd like your feedback though to help with the decision. Should I open the Unapologetically album rd now, or should I come back to it in a few months when the rankdown schedule is less busy?

@greento must not have ever had a drink before. I mean, I haven't either, but a last place? Lol what "hole in the bottle" is a certified country jam, and ever since it started to grow back on me it has not let go! Glad to see it take the crown! Thanks for hosting bboat11 ! edit: This is just me but PLEASE hold off and do it how you originally planned. Added on to what I still need to host and move around, if one more album is added to that queue I'm gonna crash and burn.

Glad to see the hits (and future hits) dominate here because they 100% nailed the single selections with this era, with the exception of "The Other Girl" -- and even then, they pulled it so quick that I'd say there was basically no harm done there and it was a minor crossover hit so in the end... worth it. "Hole in the Bottle" is just a force to be reckoned with in the catchiness department. It literally has ZERO burn and I can play it over and over and it sounds just as fresh as the first time I jammed out to it before it was ever even pushed to country radio. I'm glad it blossomed into one of the biggest hits of her career.

Nice try @greento ! more like "hole in his taste" "homecoming queen?" and "hole in the bottle" are pretty much interchangeable for me in terms of which song to rank at #1, I love both so much and I think both song contribute greatly to her discography in different ways. The obvious but deserved top 2. Thanks for hosting bboat11!

hole in the bottle is such already a country classic in my book! That song deserves awards and should be a quintessential template for how to construct a catchy tune in any genre! Thanks for hosting Bussy! bboat11 let us breathe for a few months before revisiting the first two kthxbye

Perfect end to the album, having this top 3. "hole in the bottle" has quickly grown to be one of my favorite singles of the past few years, I'm still thrilled it was able to be such a big hit for her!

Predictable, but great top 3! I love that "la" made the top 5 because I love it so much and I thought it got some negative reactions when it was released as a pre-release song. Other than "bragger" and "the way i used to" being out way too early, this ended up being a really great rankdown. Several of these songs I was surprised at how low I ranked them but that just goes to show how good of an album this is!

Time to revive an old thread!!! Kelsea's latest album has been out for a few months now, and it gathered quite a lot of excitement from the Pulse Community upon its release, so I say since we are going to have a lot of extra attention on the country rankdown-sphere due to the year-end rankdown for the next month or so, we may as well rank this album now too and see how many people we can get to join in! Hopefully y'all can get hyped!

Yep, did this one. I'd figure I'd give Kelsea a listen again, and I do think this is a surprisingly decent album and despite my rankings, I didn't actually hate a single track on here. A ton of surprises on here.

Lemme go ahead and give our first reminder!!! We have now arrived at the week of the deadline! We have 7 lists thusfar, which isn't too shabby of a start, but I know there is potential for a LOT more people to join!! Kelsea's riding high right now with the surprise Valentine's Day release of her new EP Rolling Up the Welcome Mat, which may have taken a little bit of attention from her new album, but has also boosted her cross-genre appeal to heights that it has never been before! (Even landing her a SNL performance this coming weekend!!!) So seriously, if you are finding yourself paying attention to her lately for the first time, please feel free to check out this album and see what you think!
I will definitely give through the weekend to get this done, so let's plan on this being your 7 day warning!

Also, I don't know about y'all, but depending on how good the turnout is for this album,I think it may be time to do a short little Rolling Up the Welcome Mat rankdown as soon as this one is done....

zaclord 🌈 joined the fun a couple days ago, but that's the only new list I've gotten. I'd love to see even more coming through as we get closer to the weekend! Since this closes on Sunday, y'all officially have just five more days left to get lists in! Considering that our last Kelsea album had 24 participants, I'm hoping we can at least triple the list from where we're at right now...

I haven't had time to post any further updates due to all my various birthday festivities this weekend, but lists have indeed been pouring in in the meantime. In fact, we have DOUBLED our participation, bringing us all the way up to 16!
Is there anybody else who wants to join in on this? I know that today is supposed to be the deadline, but I am willing to leave it open a couple more days if you need me to. Just let me know!!! This will officially serve as the LAST CALL!!! Let me know if you want me to wait for you!
