I wasn't hoping for it but I knew it was coming. "Hush Hush" is amazing. I especially love Ashley Monroe's part and overall it is just a fun song This basically sums up why I like "Hush Hush" so much! I was expecting "Hell on Heels" to do better (I'm not really a big fan of it) based on the reactions in this thread so that was a surprise but otherwise I'm not too surprised about the results.

Alright, now that we've hit the top 20, I will be sharing ten of Miranda's greatest album tracks - posting one after every two reveals. So up first, we have the first of several songs from the true jewel in the crown of her discography: Crazy Ex-GirlfriendBonus #10. Love Letters

Up next, this single failed to hit the top 20, but it squeaks into the top 20 on the rankdown, beating "Hush Hush" by two points!

Called it! This song isn't necessarily bad but it feels kinda loose and unfinished to my ears.

No!!!! I really like "We Should Be Friends." It's got that classic Miranda feel but it fits just right in with the new era. The positive out of this is that it did make the top 20. I really thought it would be higher. I figured "Vice" would peak before this one. Hmmm...

#19 received just 4 more points than #20! But there's a very large gap between it and #18. Here's your hint for #19!

Like I mentioned earlier, there is a big gap between #19 and #18. The group of songs that were 19-29 were very predictable to me - I didn't expect any of them to make the top 15. However, get ready for several of your faves to get eliminated very soon because here's where it starts to get pretty interesting! All but two of our remaining songs have at least 2 people losing a top 5 with every reveal. 14 of the top 18 songs had at least one person rank it top 2!

Even though I still have a few low songs this is about the results I was expecting so I'm ready for some surprises!

The next bonus non-single is one of the few songs I truly enjoy from the one misstep in her discography - Platinum. Many will disagree with me there, but it did start the decline of her radio career so who is wrong Β―\_(γ)_/Β― But the title track of the album is classic Miranda attitude and I wish it were the 3rd single instead of "Little Red Wagon". Bonus #9. Platinum

It'll be interesting to see how the rest unfolds. zaclord π, I do agree..."Platinum" may not have been as polarizing as "Little Red Wagon." "Platinum" has the attitude that Miranda has given fans throughout her career. But, I still say LRW is my personal favorite between the two.

Thank you for saying that Platinum began her deterioration with radio. I still believe the 1-2 punch of "Little Red Wagon" and "Something Bad" did Miranda Lambert no favors with radio listeners as a whole.

I have never understood the hate for Baggage Claim. It's super catchy and feels very Miranda. Gone too early for sure!

"We Should Be Friends" and "Smokin' and Drinkin'" are so underrated, especially the former. :'(
I used to LOVE "Baggage Claim" but I realized when doing this rankdown that it's one of her singles that has aged the worst for me. Like I barely listen to it anymore and it just isn't as fun as I remember it being. Probably also didn't help that she never gave us a music video for it. I really wanted a fun video filmed in an airport ala "I Can Love You Better" like the Dixie Chicks. </3
Oh and "Platinum" is a fun song but it wouldn't have done much better than "Little Red Wagon." It was still a polarizing tune and would've researched horribly. It's a shame they had to nix releasing "Smokin' and Drinkin'" third because of "Girl Crush," but there were definitely some great options on the record. In hindsight it was probably good she didn't release "Priscilla" given the subject matter (lol), but I still maintain that was the perfect third single and would've been at least another Top 5 for her. I think "Babies Makin' Babies," "Another Sunday in the South," and "Girls" would've all done well on radio too. The single choices tanked that album era, but it wasn't for a lack of quality because Platinum is an excellent record... much better than Four the Record overall imo, even though they played that one much better with the singles.

With "New String" being eliminated that means only me, castleoblivion26, and Leo β have our entire top 10 still in. Two of us lose a top 10 in the next reveal though. We also have NINE players losing a bottom 9! austin countrymusicjunkie .indulgecountry and d3vin44 only have one bottom 9 left - could one (or multiple) of them lose their final bottom 9 with #16!? The #16 is the third highest SD, which really surprised me that it was so divisive!
