I can’t believe how low I ranked this, lmao. It’s such a bop!!! In my defense, I love it on some level if it’s on my year-old year-end list, lol.
It’s important for me to note that Kelsea Ballerini was the last person standing with multiple songs to have not taken a hit up to this point. And what a showing that is, considering we’re about to hit the Top 10!

Once again, we had a tie right as we knock on the door of the Top 10. .indulgecountry giving Lainey Wilson a #1 ranking is what won her the tie over Beyoncé, who didn’t have a #1 ranking for “BREAK MY SOUL.” The Top 10!Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift Carousel - Miranda Lambert Waxahachie - Miranda Lambert Crazy Angels - Carrie Underwood HEARTFIRST - Kelsea Ballerini MUSCLE MEMORY - Kelsea Ballerini IF YOU GO DOWN (I’M GOING DOWN TOO) - Kelsea Ballerini She Had Me At Heads Carolina - Cole Swindell Circles Around This Town - Maren Morris 2 Be Loved (Am I Ready) - LizzoI’m gonna take a VERY short pause (actually short lmfao) and return with the final 10!

I know this always confuses you, but I loved most of this list, Bey included, so please excuse me from whatever narrative this is supposed to represent, lol.

Lol @ Lizzo sticking out in this top 10.
I'm sure she would've missed out in favor of Lainey Wilson if the ranking came post-bananagate.

With this reveal, Carrie Underwood officially leaves the competition. I still believe that “Crazy Angels” should’ve been the lead single to Denim & Rhinestones. I have no doubt it would’ve been a #1 smash at country radio. Seeing it live when she came to Indy last October was an EXPERIENCE. As was the entire show, lol. First arena tour I’d ever been to, and I FINALLY got to scratch a show of hers off my bucket list. AND I was in the pit?!?! One of the best times I’ve ever had.
As part of the show, I got to see THIS in person:

“Carousel” is a prime example of the power of Miranda Lambert. She shines best on such stripped-down, storytelling type songs. She’s always able to be trusted to wring every ounce of emotion out of the song. Despite my low-teens placement, this is one of the best songs on Palomino in my opinion, and it’s grown to be one of my all-time favorite MirLam tracks.

The fact that Cole Swindell of all country men made it to my year-old year-end list is still mind-blowing to me. I’d liked ONE other song from him prior to this. And then the Stereotype era came along and he shocked me to the core, on the strength not only of this song and his duet with Lainey Wilson, “Never Say Never,” but the album overall. I ended up giving a Cole Swindell album an A grade, lol.
When I put together this list, the version of this tribute to the 90s country classic “Heads Carolina, Tails California” featuring the song’s artist, Jo Dee Messina, hadn’t been released. I’ve since moved on to this version whenever I use Cole’s album.

The thing I love most about this song from Kelsea is her direct middle finger to Tennessee and its bullshit anti-drag (and, at its core, anti-trans) laws. Not long after the state implemented a ban on drag of any kind, Kelsea performed this song at the 2023 CMT Music Awards in equally-red Texas and invited a number of recognizable drag queens on stage during her performance. She knew what she was doing too, with that subtle message to the country industry in reference to the title of the song. Love her so much for that—I’m glad she cares, and accepts. It’s so nice to have that in the people I give my streams to—it’s unfortunately so rare.

Again, I love all of the songs on this list, lol, otherwise they wouldn’t be on the list. Blame my dreadful ranking on the fact that I’m still single, have still never been on anything remotely resembling a date, and have still never been kissed, lmao.

Anti-Hero - Taylor Swift vs. Waxahachie - Miranda Lambert
For the second year, the rankdown comes down to Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert. What will happen this time? Will Taylor get revenge on MirLam from last year, or will MirLam take the crown for the third consecutive year?!
YOU’RE ABOUT TO FIND OUT.

It turns out there really is nothing Taylor Swift does better than revenge!!! After losing to MirLam in 2021, Swift takes the crown for 2022 and breaks a streak Miranda had going of potentially winning every year-end rankdown of mine. Both of these songs are so great in my opinion, although this finish might be a bit controversial!!! NOBODY, as it would appear, was able to get their #1 to finish in ANY of the TOP FOUR!!! What a way to finish, with some good old-fashioned drama! Thank you SO SO MUCH for following along and being so patient with me. I truly never intended for this rankdown to be still revealing up to this point. It’s been a hell of a year, and not in the best way. I’m sorry this took so long, and promise to do better as a host in the future. I’m trying to figure out a way to go about my 2023 list. Should I keep it at 50 songs, or take my Top 100 of the year and split it up into four 25-song rankdowns? I’m open to suggestions, so PLEASE let me know how you’d like me to proceed. That is, if you’re interested in my 2023 list.
