Howdy friends! In the last couple months, zaclord 🌈 led us on a fabulous high-octane journey through the mid-00s with a 2005 country rankdown, in which Sara Evans' fans carried her all the way to #1, and then castleoblivion26 pioneered a thrilling trip to 1997 where we watched George Strait clobber the competition with one of the only songs for which he ever made a music video.
Now here we are, stepping foot back into an era where substantive lyrics gave way to partying in cornfields, clever melodies gave way to simple ones for the sake of catchiness, and vocal prowess became less important than the ability to sell records. One where women had a difficult time climbing the charts, but a token couple still managed to do so, which means that country radio clearly is not unfairly biased against women.
On Pulse, voters were able to bring substantive gems like Cam's "Burning House" to the top in 2016, and then Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes" in 2015. Now, as we return to the modern era once again, who will reign supreme? Will Sara Evans or George Strait be able to replicate their former success? Will Chris Young pull the rabbit out of the hat for 2 years in a row? Or will the victory go to somebody entirely new?
