I can finally sit down and follow this now that the Dierks rankdown is done.
Nooo "Piece of My Heart" :'( The singles from her debut album are all so good (except "But I Will" - I wouldn't call any song in this rankdown bad, but that one for me isn't on par with the others from her debut era) so I hope the ones remaining can stay for a while...

Funny story about "Piece of My Heart." I have a Carrie Underwood tour tee from when I saw her in 2010 for the Play On era. One day I wore it to class my senior year and my College English teacher stopped me as I was leaving the room and asked me if it was Faith Hill on my shirt and I was like "oh no, this Carrie Underwood." And she was like "oh good, I was about to lose a little respect for you if it was Faith Hill. She ruined one of my favorite Janis Joplin songs." She was just kidding around, but still, I always think of that moment now every time I hear POMH.

FINALLY!
My ranking of this was based on the original version. I actually became aware of Faith singing this song from the AMAZING "re-recorded" version of it featured on her "There You'll Be" album, which is 1000000x better than the original recording she released as her second single. To me the original one is so bland in comparison to the 2nd version

NO WAY "Steeling Kisses" missed Top10! That's the most shocking result for me so far... I was 100% confident it would be do much better than this considering it is such a fan favorite...

"Stealing Kisses" is just so gorgeous lyrically and vocally. Probably an unwise single choice, but at the same time it was a fifth single following four Top 10 hits so it probably didn't matter at that point anyway.

Here is the top 15!! "Stealing Kisses" missed this list by 4 points, by the way:
Breathe Cry If My Heart Had Wings It Matters To Me Let Me Let Go Like We Never Loved At All Mississippi Girl Someone Else’s Dream Take Me As I Am The Secret Of Life The Way You Love Me There You’ll Be This Kiss When The Lights Go Down Wild One
Any thoughts/hopes for what will miss the top 10???

As horrible as the quality is on that Stealing Kisses video, it's nothing compared to the stuff Universal posted on their channel in the pre-VEVO days. Those videos had similar audio and picture quality, except the sound was so quiet I had to turn the volume on my computer all the way up (I usually kept the volume at a quarter of the max).

Stealing Kisses is what made me buy the Fireflies album. It is such a gorgeous song and I remember spending most of the winter of 2007 listening to it. Not to mention it's one of my favourite Faith videos. Sad to see it go out at #16 but I honestly was worried it would do much worse in this rankdown so that's something good I guess! also someguy is my current favourite poster ;) ETA: there was a live video version on Youtube of this song when it was first released and I ripped it to my itunes. it. is. fantastic.

18. "I Can't Do That Anymore" Album: It Matters To Me Country Airplay Peak: 8 Year: 1996
Wtf?!?! This song is so so good!! Lyrics are on point for so many young woman, melody is awesome, Faith did great job singing it and video is great too. I didn't expect this one to be out before top 10 - I even thought that It has a chance for top 5.... Wrong again. "Insert angy Alan Jackson gif/photo here" (I couldn't find any he seems to always be in a good mood)

I'm just catching up on this again...
- I Can't Do That Anymore is such an underrated song. It's one of the best Faith has ever recorded, and I love the video. It's another one of those I don't really remember hearing on the radio growing up, but when I get in my Faith moods, I play it quite a bit.
- I'm surprised to see Sunshine and Summertime so high. I hate to say it, but I just really don't care much for that song at all. I know summer-themed songs aren't going to be super deep lyrically or anything, but lines like "You'll see rock hard bodied and bikini hotties" make me cringe.
- Stealing Kissses is a nice song, but I don't think it ever stood a chance at radio. If I remember correctly, Faith wanted this to be the first single off of the Fireflies album...I imagine that that whole era would have turned out much differently if that happened! I love the video for this as well, it was one of the best that she had ever done. I'm pleasantly surprised to see it so high on the rank down.
I'm very happy with the remaining top 15. I'm so happy to see Someone Else's Dream still out there. Maybe it's because there was never a video for it, but I feel this is one of those "forgotten singles" that no one ever really talks about. This is one of my favorites from her earlier years, and I'm glad that I appear to not be alone in loving this one. I'm somewhat surprised to see When The Lights Go Down still in the game. This is another one that I love and is very underrated (I'm still mad that this one never got a real video!). It's so hard to predict which will fail to make the top ten. There are so many strong songs left and it's a shame that there are going to be some great songs miss the top ten!
