FOLLOWERS: bigfan101 Andy When I got to see Martina live in March she sang this and it was great to finally hear it live. I do love this song a lot and wish it had ended up in the top 5 (maybe in the 1998 rankdown? lol) Evolution is easily her best album and this is just one of 12 amazing songs on that album. HINTS FOR #6The next song actually was in the top 10 the second most of all songs in this rankdown, behind only the song that comes in at #1 Someone loses a bottom 10 With Deana Carter, George Strait, LeAnn Rimes, Tim McGraw*x2 & Trisha Yearwood left who is going to miss the top 5?

FOLLOWERS: bigfan101 Andy I ranked both versions side by side. I ranked LeAnn's higher cause I always preferred her version but really I like them both. I do think this song stayed around too long though. So many great songs went before it.HINTS FOR #5The last song to be ranked #1 by two people is out next. 2 others ranked this in their top 10 The lowest ranking is 76, with only 2 others ranking this below 50

Boo. 6,7,8 took out my top remaining songs. Not to mention the travesty that was 11& 19 (as well as 20).

HINTS FOR #5The last song to be ranked #1 by two people is out next. 2 others ranked this in their top 10 The lowest ranking is 76, with only 2 others ranking this below 50 Lol I can't think of a single song that is left that I thought would generate enough interest to be 2 peoples' #1s, except maybe George Strait...

YAS @ "This Ain't No Thinkin' Thing" making the top 10! Fantastic song and easily one of his bests. The vocal arrangement slays, as does the instrumental, as does the key it's written in. I believe it's A Minor? bboat11 can you confirm? lol. It's one of the minor keys anyway and y'all know that is my thing! I thought this was going to be my #1 until I rememberd that two of my all-time favorite songs by George Strait would be in the rankdown, and there was no way they wouldn't be in my top 2. FINALLY "The Fool" is out. I knew I'd be in the minority, but the song does absolutely nothing for me. CoJoFan I was expecting this to be in your bottom 10 as well, yet there it sits in your top 60 lol. I'm not the biggest Lee Ann Womack fan personally. I did see her live though when she was touring with George and Reba and she was very good! Both are good but I really only listen to LeAnn's. I love "Love Gets Me Every Time" but I think it made it too far. It's nothing really special. Just ear candy. I love "A Broken Wing" and Martina's vocal performance is STUNNING as usual! However, I'm fine with it being out here. I wouldn't have been upset if it won, but I didn't really want it to either, so I'm not sad to see it go now. I honestly don't care what is out next as long as it isn't George Strait. He needs to be #1. If not... Heads. Will. ROLL!

George is my guess for #5. This had better not be the case but if it HAS to be the case... then... "Everywhere" is the only other song I'm okay with winning. As much as I really don't want Tim McGraw win, it's the only song aside from "Carrying Your Love With Me" that's anywhere near being worthy of #1 from the songs remaining IMO.

FOLLOWERS: bigfan101 Andy I think this is the only single from the Everywhere album that I never cared for. I think nostalgia got the best of me when listening to this because I just tried to listen to it again and had to turn it off immediately lol. I don't know why but I really don't care for this song. Sometimes I can listen to it and it is fine but sometimes I can't stand itHINTS FOR #4The only song to make the top 10 and not be ranked in someones Top 3 is next. With its highest ranking being #5 2 people lose a Top 10 Only 2 people ranked this lower than 50 8 people ranked this between 12 and 28

Oh thank GOODNESS it's this one! I really don't like "Just To See You Smile" at all. The melody/catchiness saves it a little bit, but it's one I'd never listen to. I should have ranked it even lower.

Boo @ Tim. I knew it was going to be next though with the 2 at #1 comment - although I thought countrymusicjunkie would have it at #1!

I think Tim and George are a lock for number 1 and 2 but I have no idea which will be which.

FOLLOWERS: bigfan101 Andy this was the biggest shock in the top 10 for me. Alongside Trace Adkins I never saw either song making it and yet they both did. I am really glad this song did this well though because it is a good songHINTS FOR #3Someone loses their #1, which means only 1 person will see their #1 make it to the Top 2 3 others lose a Top 10 Only 2 ranked it below 50 with the lowest ranking being 67 There is 23 points between #3 & #2, while there is a 112 point difference between #2 and #1

I've changed my mind about George being a lock for the top 2, I'm almost positive he's out next.

FOLLOWERS: bigfan101 Andy This is a really strong Top 3 in my opinion and any of them would have been great #1's. This song was ranked #1 early on while I was still getting ranks. The last couple pushed this one down and #1 up but they both traded places many times.No more hints, the end is next!

At first I was mad because the #67 hint gave the answer away with countrymusicjunkie's comment, but WHAT ARE THE ODDS that another song in the top 3's lowest rank was #67! What a sneaky clue Castle! :)
I've got my #4 and #9 left, so I'm happy with either, but I still think George has this

You took the words right out of my mouth! Not one of the strongest songs from this year IMO. I like the song, but yet again, I like her voice a whole lot more.

Fun Deana Carter story: I escorted her on the red carpet of the ACM Honors Awards one year and she was very sweet and asked me how I was doing... three times... in a 60-second span. I think she had a little too much strawberry wine before the event ;)

Amazing top 2. I still definitely want George to win, but both are such stellar songs that I won't be disappointed either way.

Let me guess, you ranked it #67 lol Ding Ding Ding! BTW before I post the finals, you did not actually rank George Strait at 67 because you ranked How Do I Live by Trisha Yearwood at 67...I even double checked to make sure I didn't have a number wrong but nope that is what you sent me. George is ranked close to 67 though

George is ranked close to 67 though I must have made a last minute change right before I sent it to you, the list I have on my computer has George at 67. Now I have absolutely no idea where I ranked him, lol.

Yay George! That's awesome that 10 out of 13 ranked it their top 15! I love that you appreciate the brilliance that is this song! I was worried you'd hate it and would rank it low because of your distaste for traditional country. So glad that wasn't the case. King George on top, right where he belongs
