Next 5: Draw Me A Map Free and Easy Home Say You Do Trying To Stop Your Leaving
at least I would prefer those 5 to be the next 5 out. Like them all but like the other 10 much more. That being said I wouldn't be sad if any of them made the top 10 as long as Come A Little Closer, I Hold On, Drunk On A Plane, and Bourbon in Kentucky make it

I forgot to post the hint for #15 so here it is:
That feeling when you resort to a K-pop song as a hint in a country rankdown though...

If "Draw Me a Map" is indeed the next to go... ...and this is coming from someone who loves all kinds of animals.

I only have 4 #10s left now... At least my #1 and #2 will likely finish #1 and #2? I sure hope so.

This is a gorgeous song and I feel like in retrospect maybe placing this at #19 was a little low for my rank... but I love a lot of his songs, so it was definitely difficult, lol.

I had this at 3. In the grand world of all the Dierks songs this is still in my top 5.
Travesty. Absolute travesty.

I'm feeling like my #18 rank may have been as well. The instrumentation is gorgeous. I'm actually not sure why I placed a few of the songs I did ahead of this, lol.

I'm also guilty of underranking this one in retrospect, but it was also really hard for me to rank all the Dierks songs. I even put "Somewhere on a Beach" ahead of this #14 is actually only 4 points ahead of "Draw Me a Map" so it could've been #14 had we all decided to rank it a bit further up on our lists.

I refer to this song as "ear candy." That fiddle solo? OMG. Looooooove.

Good. "Home" has always been a dreadful snooze to me. This one and "I Hold On" are some of his most overrated recent singles imo.

Home is one that I'm just over. I always wanted it to be more epic than it actually was.

#13 is 40 points ahead of "Home" so there was a bit of a gap here between #13 and #14.
The #13 song is a shock elimination (at least for me but I'm sure a lot of you will feel the same way)! I've always thought this was a lock for the top 10 and even had a decent shot at the top 5.
I'm not giving clues this time because I want you all to speculate on what song it is!!! I will tell you that the song was somewhere in the 2014 country rankdown thread which actually narrows it down quite a bit.

Hmmm shock elimination.
So it's probably a 'big' single...hmmm. 2014. Drunk on a Plane.

I'm going to go off the wall here and predict "Come a Little Closer". I think I used that as a hint for "My Eyes" in the 2014 rankdown... Everyone, get your tomatoes and pitchforks ready for LBTrocks!

I will tell you that the song was somewhere in the 2014 country rankdown thread which actually narrows it down quite a bit. Now you might have thought it was either "I Hold On" or "Drunk on a Plane" which appeared in the 2014 country rankdown (and both of them finished in the top 10!). I never said it was in the rankdown itself but instead said it was somewhere in the thread. There was another Dierks song that the host bboat11 used as a hint for a song, or more specifically Blake Shelton's "My Eyes" and the chorus for that one goes "come a little closer, come a little closer, come a little closer, love the way you look tonight, my eyes are the only thing I don't wanna take off of you" so the shock elimination was... #13. "Come a Little Closer"Points: 524Average Rank: 14.04 Standard Deviation: 9.0177US Country Radio Peak: #1 Album: Modern Day Drifter bboat11 - 1 castleoblivion26 - 3 .indulgecountry - 4 Cody Wants Out... - 5 rgreen0625 - 6 cerulean - 7 Kentucky25 - 7 @anythingbutmine - 7 raylatch98 - 8 gardyfan - 9 sbme - 11 vann - 11 dm2081 - 12 Mr. Thonk Eyes - 12 zaclord π - 12 austin - 15 dub - 17 KanenrΓ‘:ke - 19 carriekins - 20 fearlessarrow - 22 someguy - 24 matteeeb - 26 recordyear - 29 countrymusicjunkie - 30 LBTrocks - 34 Following along:Leo β YotamTS Daryl the Beryl Modern Day Drifter loses its first song as "Come a Little Closer" is eliminated here. I thought this was a pretty good candidate for the top 10, so I'm pretty shocked that it missed the top 10! bboat11 becomes the second person to lose a #1 and we also lose our last #34 with "Come a Little Closer" being LBTrocks ' #34. This looked like it was going to be #14 for quite some time because it was pretty far from the #13 and the #15 song. Higher ranks for "Come a Little Closer" towards the end of the submission period plus the lower ranks for "Home" helped the song move up to #13, but it wasn't enough to push the song up any further. It got fairly close to the #12 song in the end, which was fighting for a top 10 placement for the most of the submission period, so I think this song put up a good fight towards the end given how bleak the situation looked for this song when it was at #14.
