It sounds funny saying this about a Shania Twain record but I always thought the UP! Commercial run in the US could have been much stronger if they had picked better singles.
I'm Gonna Getcha Good! Ain't No Particular Way Forever and For Always Nah! In My Car Up!
That is how I would have gone. I think Up! second killed some momentum and then pretty face was a flat fourth single. I don't know just thinking out loud.

This one is outta here! Shania's final humorously punctuation-plagued song title left in the RD bows out at #5, and with it goes Chelsea Press 2's #1 rank. Nobody put this one in their bottom 10, but BackwoodsBarbie had it close. A lot of people had this one top three though. This and the next two songs to depart the RD were only separated by a margin of about 15 points.

Why so many of Shania videos on vevo are this sh*tty remixes I'm surprised this one went top5... I would've never guessed it

I'm not in love with this as much as a lot of others here, but still a good song!

I doubt my #1 song will be #1 so that sucks since all the other songs I have ranked in the 20's lol. Oh well, they are all good songs and not entirely surprising

In a 1-2 punch the last two singles left in the game from Shania's The Woman I Am era are now gone. "Any Man of Mine" was Shania Twain's first #1 hit and really put the star on the map, in part because the music video featured her bare midriff which had some country folk clutching their pearls at the time. This one seemed destined for a #4 finish with the plethora of rankings that were matched here, and it is the final song to not have any individual #1 ranks. @antigonerising pops up as a bit of an outlier on this one as well, as the only one to not have it in or anywhere near Top 20.

Aww, this sucks. I was hoping for one single from each of those three albums in the top 3, but AMOM being #4 here is nothing to sneeze at.
As long as "Impress" doesn't win, I'll be okay with this whole ranking.

Oh here I go again lol. But my low rank for AMOM doesn't really match how I feel about the song. It fell that low for me b/c the burn rate is kind of high, but that aside it is an enjoyable song.

Such a great top 3! "You're Still the One" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" are so iconic (idk about how well "Forever And For Always" is remembered so I can't really comment on that one).

I'm rooting for the one that most think is least likely to be number 1 but I am hoping it surprises everyone and is #1 like "Goodbye Earl" did in the DC rankdown

Outta Here! Was the best discovery for me in this RD. Don't know if that video version was a remix or not, but I liked it enough to rank it #12 :) pretty cool... it seems kinda the predecessor to TDIMM. Good stuff. AMOM: another discovery I liked it but maybe was a bit too country for my liking. Plus I definitely don't think it compares with a good number of songs in this RD... plus 2 songs of this album in the top 5 is a bit too much IMO.

It's definitely the most iconic from her last studio album era -- it was the biggest hit from it and did the best out of all the Up! singles in this RD by a long shot, so I'd say that's good evidence to suggest it. ;)

Our final Up! track bids us goodbye here and leaves us with a showdown from the two pinnacle hits from the Come on Over era for the crown. As one of the 4 people who loses my #1 here, I'm definitely sad to see this one go. That said, I am overjoyed with how well this one did in the standings! Honestly, I knew Top 10 was a guarantee, but going into this I didn't anticipate that this one would wind up anywhere near a bronze finish.

"Forever and for Always" is the song that made me a Shania Twain fan and it's still miles away better from anything else she's ever done, imo. It was good timing that this came out during the year that I first started getting into country music fully via Sara Evans' Restless era, but the instrumentation on this song is absolutely euphoric (all those steel guitar fills ). Her vocal performance is also pretty captivating on this track, and I love the use of the BGVs on it as well. It's always reminded me of Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" musically (which came out like a year earlier coincidentally), which is also my favorite song from her as well.

And I thought me ranking this at #09 was optimist LOL
Now I'm rooting for "That Don't Impress me Much"... seeing "Still the One" winning would be so anticlimactic ...

Sad to see FAFA leave since it's my #1, but I'm also really happy that it made its way into the top 3 when she has so many other great songs.
I have my #2 and #9 left so while I would prefer my #2 to win, #9 winning would still be great as well :)

I could've ranked FAFA higher. It was just so hard to pick amongst it and my other top 5! I love the instrumentation, the male vocals specially in the last verse, her fully believable vocals, the flowy beat, and now that I think again the lyrics... I somehow forgot how I connected it to two important moments in my life: passing from grieve to serenity, thinking about memories of mom after her passing; and daydreaming about future with my first boyfriend, with whom we shared our love for several Shania songs including this one :)) Yup, very happy to see it #3 (pretty likely it would've been my #3 if I did ranking again)

Okay so remember I highlighted earlier that there were a lot of 1-point differences between placements in this rankdown (4 unique instances to be exact)? Well, that fourth one determined our winner. The final points received for our Top 2 was 268-269. :o So which one will be the ultimate Shania Twain hit?

In the battle of Shania's two pinnacle career hits from her magnum opus, Come on Over, Pulse seemed to be torn between blue tint and leopard print, enough so that it literally came down to a difference of 1 point to determine our winner. Ultimately, Pulse sided with leopard print by a razor-thin margin to give it to Shania's premiere uptempo kiss-off anthem over her premiere AC ballad. Three people had "Impress" as their top song, and all but three had it in their Top 12 (poor dub actually placed it in his bottom 5 #rip). Four people put "Still the One" at the apex of their lists, and it received more runner-up placements and Top 5 finishes as well, but it suffered from a few more lower teens, 20s, and 30s ranks.

Great #1. I like the fact that its the original Country Poprock version. I never cared for that other version at all. All the MV needed was an actual Brad Pitt cameo.

Wow I thought if it was between "You're Still the One" and "That Don't Impress Me Much" the former would take it but there was a surprise at the end. Great winner, and thanks for hosting .indulgecountry!
