I'm really shocked "Family Is Family" and "This Town" are both still in this.

Also kinda surprised that it seems like Pageant Material is doing better than Same Trailer so far. Well, it's all of the worst of STDP so far. I think most of the next 10 reveals will be songs from PM. But I did expect it to be slightly lop-sided in the other direction at this point.

"Family Is Family" is great. :'(
I need "Die Fun" and "Miserable" to go very soon if we're killing stuff from 'Pageant.'

I'm surprised "Miserable" and "Die Fun" are still in. I obviously like both, but I'm just surprised they both escaped the bottom 6.

Family Is Family is good, but also not too sad to see it go. My Top 12 (all of which I LOVE) are all still here, so I'm happy for now. I'm worried about my #8 and #5 though

Family is Family is a fun song, but not one that I particularly listen to a lot. I'm actually surprised I got the placement of this right as I thought it was more well-liked

Here's a pro tip if you use iTunes. Rip the track twice and name one "Fine" and the other "Are You Sure." Then change the start and end times for each track. I believe it's under the "Options" tab when you right click the song and select "Get Info." Have "Fine" end when "Fine" is over and "Are You Sure" start when it starts. I've done this before with tracks that have strange intros/outros or have two tracks in one like that. Of course, I downloaded the album, so the tracks are separate for me. I had no clue they were merged together on the physical album. That's really cool, but I use Windows Media Player so idk if they have anything like that, lol. Ah, I don't think it has anything like that, unfortunately. A little surprised "Family Is Family" is out already. I figured it would have been more well received along with "This Town." Interesting that "Back on the Map" had no top ten ranks. It's always a song I pay very little attention to, but whenever I do hear it, I'm reminded that I actually enjoy fairly well, so I guess that makes sense for it to be mostly ranks in the 11-20 range. RE: STDP tracks falling out first This is probably because while STDP is more accessible, PM is way more consistent, and I'm expecting a nearly complete slaughter of that album soon. The lows of STDP are lower than the whole of PM, but also the highs of STDP are higher than the whole of PM.

This started off well, but I can't believe that my #1 was out third and I've lost another top 5 outside of the top 20.
The iTunes trick is interesting though...I have the same problem with the two songs being attached, but I'll try to separate them the next time I'm on my computer.

Maybe Kacey just wants to have a little fun I guess, but she loses her usually wit lyrics in "Stupid".
"Are You Sure" is a great duet, sad to see it leave early.
Can never get behind "My House" especially when it follows the stellar Silver Lining on the album.
"Cup Of Tea" is filler with similar melodies to other songs on the album.
"Back On The Map" is surprisingly low. "Family Is Family" has great lyrics like "They might smoke like chimneys, but give you their kidneys", definitely out too soon.

Just sent my list. So I always heard good reviews about her albums but never got to listen to them. I only knew Follow Your Arrow, Keep It To Yourself, Merry Go 'Round & Pageant Material before doing this and damn, she's probably my favorite country artist. Even my #26 is a song I like and I love my Top 10. I discovered so many great songs here and I'm looking forward to the results. That's just because you haven't done the Martina McBride rankdown yet!!!!! Now that this has started, there are not really any big surprises so far! The biggest one for me is "Back On The Map" being out already. That was my favorite from STDP, honestly, and was actually my #1 for awhile before I started ranking PM and then shuffled my results a little before sending them in. I hadn't even realized that it got bumped from my top 10, because I definitely loved it enough to have it at #1 for awhile! It has some of her most modern-sounding production, which really helped it stand out for me. Overall the biggest surprise for me is how well I am doing here! For having no prior knowledge of Kacey other than her singles, I am doing alright! Now watch my #4 and #9 be out next and my #21 and #26 make the top 5.....

Not too surprised about the results so far. I ranked "Stupid" really high because I love that song but I knew it was gonna go early.

I love all Kacey's songs, and think it's gone pretty well so far. All of you saying Miserable and Die Fun should be out already are crazy though... I dunno, I guess I can't really root for any songs to be out, just feels wrong since I love them all. Lol

I also said I shuffled my rankings around a little. So there are a few songs from STDP that made it into the top 10 :) But yes, as a whole I found PM to be a vastly superior album. You caught me!

I love melancholic songs about getting older, and this is no exception lol I had this on my Top15 but I'm ok with it only getting top 20

Ha! Got this one right. I love when Kacey does this live... I actually learned to appreciate it more after seeing her performing it live

Pageant Material tracks one by one. I prefer STDP way more than PM so I'm fine with this!
