5. "(If You're Not in It for Love) I'm Outta Here!" - Shania TwainAu$tin : 2 This was the one I had pegged as Au$tin's #1 if it wasn't the same as mine (NONTK). Curious that those are what made up his top 2.

If so, country will be booming with rankdowns which means more fun :)

I think there's way too many non-country ones always going on that I'm interested in for me to even need to open one of my own, and some of us have to keep the country fans entertained. ;)

I'm pleasantly surprised Forever and For Always made it to #3. While I was pretty much over Shania by the time that album came around, that song has stood the test of time better than almost all of her material. I'm only slightly disappointed That Don't Impress Me Much made it to #1. I loved the remix when it came out and was all about it for a while but over the years I got incredibly sick of the song. You're Still The One has aged better to me and is more iconic. Of course I'd rather have seen something from TWIM make it, you can't really argue with a COO single winning out since that's pretty much THE album... ever. Thanks for a great rankdown .indulgecountry

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). Yeah I've been gunning for this to exit since the beginning ( it just don't impress me much???) and even though I thought it would rank pretty high I am SHOOK at it taking the #1 spot. But pretty much all of her songs are classics! Great fun for my first time ranking down! relevant fun fact my 5-year-old niece has somehow figured out how to make YouTube kids cast onto the tv from her ipod thing and for some reason TDIMM music video is something that popped up in her recommended videos on YouTube KIDS???

Aw I was pulling for a FAFA surprise and I really thought "That Don't Impress Me Much" was more polarizing, but I'm still very happy. It's the epitome of a Shania song! Thanks for the great rankdown!

I know I felt so bad because of my insider knowledge every time I saw you posting about how you wanted TDIMM out and I kept thinking "little does he know..." lol. But I had YSTO at #32 and it *almost* won, so I can kinda relate. I feel like that one is very overrated and I actually expected it to win by a clear country mile when I started this and I was mostly just curious to see where the rest of the chips would fall. I was really surprised when I finished inputting all the lists in and there was just a 1-point difference, lol.

Wow, another surprise ending! Great day for rankdowns! I wasn't in favor of TDIMM winning, because while it is catchy and well-known, it is also one of her songs where the overall cheesiness has worn on me poorly over time and led me to like most of her discography more. It is so quintessentially Shania though, that it is totally a warranted victory.
As always, thanks for hosting!!! I can't wait to see what you come up with in August :)

Perfect winner! I was worried it wouldn't even make top 5 based off of some of the comments people were making (and the fact that Man! stalled out at #9), so to see that it actually won is fantastic!

Why so many of Shania videos on vevo are this sh*tty remixes In some of the cases, the Pop or Dance mixes (some of the Pop versions were called "Dance Mix" on the singles or promos) were the ones that were getting more mainstream airplay. Some of my rankings were based on the Pop version (like for "That Don't Impress Me Much", "I'm Gonna Getcha Good", and "Man! I Feel Like A Woman!"). The Soul Solution remixes of "From This Moment On" and "You're Still The One" were what I ranked though I adore the original Country versions. I ranked "It's Alright" and "Party For Two" totally based on club remixes.

I actually like the pop version of That Donβt Impress Me Much more. Better go full dance mode when you are essentially making dance music anyway. Youβre Still The One sounds so boring to my ears. Great to hear this is not #1.

Thank you .indulgecountry for brilliant hosting duties during this Shania rankdown. As a lifelong Shania fan I am pleased with the results. It was so hard to rank each. Now if I were to add the new material it would probably go something like this: "Life's About To Get Good" toward the higher end of my top 30 (#21-23ish) and "Poor Me" (#25-27ish) closer to the middle of my top 30. Judging solely off of the live version of "Swingin' With My Eyes Closed" I'd put it in my top 20 (probably like #18-20).

LOL What bothers me is that in a lot of cases she had like 2-4 versions of many of her songs, but only one version of most of them is uploaded to her YouTube account. I know her heyday came before YT was a thing so that's probably part of it, but it is annoying.

That's true, but i guess the videos don't change that much regardless of the mix so they must feel its unnecessary to have the same videos uploaded two-three times. I just wish they had all the original ones there.

Mmmm I can see some people confusing the pop versions with the dance remixes. That may be especially the case for TDIMM. If I recall correctly, the dance version was the most popular version in the U.K. Back home in Peru we heard both the pop and the dance versions, but not the country version. I prefer the pop one for sure. In general I've voted for the pop versions but not the dance ones. In any case, I could never be mad at any of my 5 favorites from Shania :) they're just great! I love the sound, vocals (including background), attitude (laughs and all), silences, etc, of TDIMM (Still, I prefer MIFLAW as her pinnacle uptempo tho ;) ). And yeah a timeless video (seems like a precursor to Taylor Swift stuff lol) YSTO has always been a classic to me. Even the first time I heard it, it felt like a classic tune of the 1970s revitalized in the 1990s. That's the seal of a timeless song to me, although I can understand how this can be perceived as bland or boring for some. Superb song. Thanks .indulgecountry for an excellent, informative, funny, nerve racking rankdown :) great job! Happy to participate in my first country rankdown !

At some point there were multiple versions of the videos for some of the songs set to the different original Country and Pop versions.
