I was expecting this song to leave about now, because I know it is not super well liked on Pulse. I will never understand the hate it gets though! It is catchy enough, and has great instrumentation. Not one of my favorites, but one I always enjoy listening to.

Congrats to countrymusicjunkie for getting the hint right!

[countrymusicjunkie]

The clue with the shoes has to be "Last Dollar", "I'm down to my last dollar, I've walked right through my shoes"

[castleoblivion26]

so glad "Back When" is out, lasted too long. Not sure why but I've never liked that one. I think it is the only song on that album I don't like tbh

This is one of his hits that I somehow managed to never hear when it was a current single. I didn't even find out about its existence until I saw people talking about it on Pulse a couple years ago. Apparently some people really love it, and some people find it really underwhelming! I am somewhere in the middle. I don't think it's boring, but I pretty much never go out of my way to listen to it. Still, Kanenrá:ke becomes the first person to lose their #1, and we aren't even to the top 40 yet!!

[castleoblivion26]

not surprised to see "Still" out. I honestly thought my ranking could be the highest because of the way some people talked about it on here in the past, glad I was wrong. This is a great song, and Tim sounds great on it

FINALLY countrymusicjunkie loses his #76! This song loooooooong overstayed its welcome in this rankdown, imo... It is alright, but nowhere near the best from either of them. Also, does anyone know why the official single cover has Bugs Bunny on it? Lol I didn't look too hard, but I couldn't find any info on that, and this is the only cover I could find...

What can I say. I freaking LOVE this song!!! It is SO catchy and fun! I love all the cheesy quirks, like the "Ha ha ha ha" section, and the weird distorted "yeah!" in the bridge. This song stands out in a big way among his catalog for just being so out-there and different, but for me it worked. Of course, I am not surprised to see that it did not work for everyone. kansasmeetsmo finally loses a #76, and many other people ranked it below top 50. I'm just thrilled it made it this far, because this was a song for which I did not have high expectations!

[bboat11]

I would just like to point out that with the elimination of kansasmeetsmo's #76, CoJoFan is the only person left with a #76 rank still in the game!

In a twist that is undoubtedly shocking for some, "Can't Be Really Gone" is the final song to miss the top 40. tim and castleoblivion26 both lose their first top 5s, and many others lose a top 20.

[countrymusicjunkie]

"Still" is probably Tim's most underrated song ever. I honestly don't understand why it did so poorly on the charts, I personally think it's a much better song than a lot of his number 1's.
"Just To Hear You Say That You Love Me" lasted way too long and I'm glad it's finally gone!
"Last Dollar" lasted a lot longer than I expected, I thought it was pretty hated on pulse. I would like the song a lot more if not for the "Ha ha ha ha's" and the kids singing at the end.

[countrymusicjunkie]

I'm absolutely shocked that "Can't Be Really Gone" didn't even make the top 40. This is one of Tim's better songs and I thought it was a lock for the top 20.

[castleoblivion26]

[Cody Wants Out...]

That does it!

[fearlessarrow]

Yes at "Back When" and "Just to Hear You Say That You Love Me" out! I personally thought that the latter was the worst of all the Tim/Faith duets.

I just love "Last Dollar (Fly Away)". I could live without the "ha ha ha ha"s and the children singing, but even with those parts included I still love it enough for it to be in my top 15! I expected a high SD for this (which means I expected it to leave fairly early as well) so I was ready for this elimination.

Now what I wasn't ready for was "Can't Be Really Gone" not even making the top 40! I thought it would make the top half...

[sabre14]

I think "Still" was just a song that wasn't the best radio single, but I loved it artistically and think it was one of Tim's best mid-to-late 2000s releases.

I'm surprised "Last Dollar (Fly Away)" made it this far but I'm not complaining...just like bboat11, I love the song.

Bummed "Can't Be Really Gone" is out but considering its age and the fact Tim had more famous 90s hits, I guess that's why it's out now.

[zaclord 🌈]

Yay I didn't miss too much, and nothing good left while I was gone

[.indulgecountry]

I'm okay with the last few eliminations, though I am sad about "Back When" being out. That song is a jam! "Back when a screw was a screw" tho.

And with "Still" biting the dust that makes Southern Voice his second album to lose all its songs after his debut effort, right?
Also, I can't believe that was your #1, Kanenrá:ke! I would've never guessed that! :o

Well... That does make it the second album to lose all of its singles...

[austin]

I saw Tim and Faith last night and left pretty disappointed. Tim basically went through the motions, and Faith was pretty awful. She sang maybe 60% of the time, and the other 40% she either had the mic to the crowd, or was just talking randomly about nothing (literally during verses.) During the entire second verse of 'This Kiss' she literally had this exchange:
'Cinderella said to Snow White
whats your name?
you? whats your name?
is it your birthday?
happy birthday Malorie"
It's the way you love me..it's a feeling like this.."

It was definitely the most bizarre concert I have ever been to. When she DID sing she was brilliant and she even sang 'Free' which was an amazing surprise for me as its my personal favorite, but it was so weird. Tim was not into the show at all (at least he didnt appear to be) but he didnt miss his marks nor talk over his verses, so I give him the edge here.

'Break First' off their duets album sounds like a hit, and a better option than Speak To A Girl.

I honestly did not like this song at all when it first came out (I was a child lol), but it has grown on me immensely over time. It is still not one of my favorites, but I never skip it when it comes on, and it sometimes gets stuck in my head. I also feel like it is a very strong vocal performance from Tim. I'm not too surprised to see it out now though. At least it made the top 40!

[bboat11]

Up next, we lose our second #1! Kanenrá:ke is the only one who doesn't have to worry right now!!!

[.indulgecountry]

WAT how in the hell is "Real Good Man" this low?!?? :'(

[castleoblivion26]

I'm kinda glad "Real Good Man" is out. It did not deserve to be higher than "Can't Be Really Gone"

Lol this song always baffles me. Like, yeah it is catchy, but how did something SO heavily reliant on cultural stereotypes ever manage to become a hit?! Lol it is pretty polarizing too, as evidenced by the fact that it has the 5th highest SD in the rankdown, so that may have something to do with why it peaked at #8 and didn't make it any higher.

[Deleted]

bboat11 you put Jordan twice for Real Good Man.

[countrymusicjunkie]

"Indian Outlaw" is always one of the highlights at any Tim McGraw concert. The energy from Tim, the band and the crowd during this song is amazing.

[.indulgecountry]

Kanenrá:ke ranking this so low makes sense, lol.

I like this more than I probably should/would like to admit (it is catchy and I like the way he uses his voice on it), but it's still a pretty dumb song and falls low on the totem pole as far as his catalog goes.
