I'm okay with anything but WWIT at #1 tbh. And that's not really throwing shade at WWIT - it's a great song and I jam to it to this day. But the other 3...that's some QUALITY.

Brokenhearted, even if I knew it was inevitable. I love you, Bourbon. Forever and eveerrrrrrrr. And also this is not my fave Dierks SONG just my fave Dierks SINGLE and really my top 5 are pretty much tied. You know he's a good artist when that's how I'm going to feel when my #6 goes.

And of course there it is...
The only thing that kept this out of my top 5 was the familiarity factor as this was a discovery whereas all the songs in my top 5 I had already known before, but this song is still wonderful. The lyrics really speak to me...

Noooooo! Say You Do and I Hold On, my babies :'( That awkward moment when cerulean ranks it at #3 and causes it to fall a position... Welp, I tried lol. Thank goodness I kicked "Drunk on a Plane" out of the top 5. I should've ranked it even lower.

Long Trip Alone outperforms The music video does add a heavy meaning to this song, making me love this song even more.

Both "Lot of Leavin' Left to Do" and "Free and Easy (Down the Road I Go)" have sick instrumentals towards the end. It is a rewarding listening experience. "Say You Do" is the song that I first heard from him. I especially enjoyed the loneliness presented in the music video. I still don't know why "Bourbon in Kentucky" underperformed on chart. Is Kacey Musgraves curse real? Tbh it's not as dark as many would think...

I matched a rank...again! You match a rank again but I don't know how you feel about losing your #3 so I don't know if I'm supposed to feel happy for you or not. But anyways...

That was my pick to win at this point. I'm happy as long as WWIT doesn't win, at this point.

I love "Drunk On A Plane" but it kind of sounds like a parody song to me, lol. I'm surprised it is such a fan favorite.
I also like "Bourbon In Kentucky" ok but am shocked that it made it this far. Had no idea it was so well-liked. To be honest, it's a song I had totally forgotten about until participating in this rankdown lol.
I appreciate "Long Trip Alone" more now than I did back then. I love the fiddle... melody isn't too bad either.
"Every Mile A Memory" is better than some of his stuff, but meh.

"Every Mile a Memory" is fantastic, so I am glad to see it made the top 3! As for the last two, "Settle for a Slowdown" and "What Was I Thinking" are both phenomenal songs, so I will be happy with the winner either way. It really SHOULD be WWIT because it was just such a strong debut, and holds more importance overall in Dierks' discography. But "Settle" is amazing too, so either way I'll be happy! I think I might have "Settle" ranked higher too.

I just want to mention that every person has at least one song they ranked in the top 10 in the top 2! I don't know how rare this is, but it's pretty neat to see!

Here we are at the top 2 and all things considered, I'm not at all upset about where things stand right now. I like both songs left, which is pretty dang good for me considering the high amount of songs I disliked in this rankdown.
However, for me there is no comparison between the two.... WWIT >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> SFASD

What Was I Thinkin' is overrated. I was hoping something else would win.

MY NUMBER 1 WON PRAISE JESUS!!!!!!
lol.
"What Was I Thinkin'" is seriously one of the greatest songs. It kicks so much ass. Everything about it is musical perfection. I don't even know what else to say so let's just leave it at that.

I guess this is one of the rare cases where the artists first song is his most popular and best song according to everyone.

As gutted as I was to see my #1 ("Free and Easy") drop out so early once we hit the Top 10, I am quite happy that my #2 won and my #3 was runner-up. It was a close finish between the two, wow! :o
I would've never anticipated "Settle for a Slowdown" to give his debut single a run for it. I thought it would be "Come a Little Closer" up there instead, but I was clearly waaaay off there, lol.

WWIT is that good. Before the rankdown even started, I kind of felt like this song had it in the bag, but this is Pulse so I wasn't going to count on it lol.

I don't even know what else to say so let's just leave it at that. I really wanted to tell you your #1 was going to win after all your other top 10s got eliminated before hitting the top 15, but I had to keep my mouth shut... Had zaclord 🌈 not provoked you, the #1 would've been tied in points! "What Was I Thinkin'" still would've won though because it would've had more #1s than "Settle for a Slowdown" as I was planning to use number of #1 ranks as the tiebreaker.

LMAO I can't believe I am the 3rd lowest rank for WWIT... Haha I actually like the song quite a bit! I'm not really surprised it is the winner, and it is definitely a deserving winner considering the impact it had on Dierks' career as a whole. It was overplayed as heck, which is probably why I ranked it so low, but the song itself is really good, and I definitely jammed out to it pretty hard when it came out (even though I was only 10 or so... Lol)
