Awwww! I was hoping for "This Kiss" to win, or at least be the runner-up. :(

Daaaaamn, "This Kiss" is out. My #1. :'( But it made Top 5 so that's plenty great, and it outlasted "The Way You Love Me" at least.
I think "Cry" will be #3 and the winner will be between "Breathe" and a potential dark horse in "It Matters to Me." I'd honestly be happy with any of the three because they're all fantastic power ballads, which she does so well, so I'm not really *too* surprised to see that's what her Top 3 consists of. Iconic.

Wow, very surprised This Kiss isn't TOP3, or should I say, I'm very surprised "It Matters To Me" is TOP3... it's a great song, don't get me wrong, but it isn't in my top 10 favorite singles by Faith and I didn't really expected it to reach any higher than maybe lower top10. Very interesting.
It would be nice to see if "Cry" can get to top2...

Got my #05 right at least! LOL "The Secret of Life" is such a great song! I'm glad it found its way to the Top5! "The Way You Love Me" has some pretty silly lyrics but it's SO CATCHY! It always puts me in a great mood and it's a song that always takes me back to my childhood, when I was first starting to like country lol The TOP4 is very predictable (like most of the times in rankdowns), but as a fan, I can't complain cause they are all amazing songs! Is it predictable? "Breathe" and "This Kiss" were definitely predictable, but I feel like nobody really expected "Cry" or especially "It Matters To Me" to last this long! I'll give to you that "It Matters To Me" surprised me, but I fully expected "Cry" to be top5 at least (along with This Kiss, Breathe and The Way You Loved Me, which barely missed it)...

Kinda hoping "Breathe" at least doesn't win, I mean I like all 3 songs left but that is the one I like the least out of them. That said if it wins I am completely ok with it, still want my #1 to be #1 so hopefully it can pull it off! was really hoping "When The Lights Go Down" would make top 5 but am super happy it did as well as it did, I probably should have ranked it a little higher myself but she sounds so amazing on it and I've been listening to it more and more again. So happy "The Way You Love Me" and "If My Heart Had Wings" missed top 5, kinda wish they had missed top 10. This also isn't because I dislike them but more just because I like others more and I agree with .indulgecountry that the first one is overrated.

Alright, your top two consists of "Breathe" and "Cry"!!! Her biggest and most well-known power ballad versus one of her most underrated and often overlooked power ballads. We also have to reveal our winning album track as well Any predictions for which song will win??! What about which album track?

"Breathe" seems like the obvious winner considering how much of a juggernaut of a song that was, but I think I'm pulling for "Cry" on this one because it would definitely be less obvious and I love the underdog! LOL
Either way, I would be happy with both winning LOL

really REALLY hoping "Cry" wins here because it is easily my favorite song of hers. I completely understand if it is "Breathe" but I'm rooting for "Cry"!

This is the second time my #1 finished in the top 3 right after the Dierks rankdown. I'm not even sad about this loss since most of everyone had it in their top 10.

Was going to say Breathe was going to win, then I realized I actually ranked Cry higher. So I'm calling a surprise victory for Cry.

I like "Cry" and agree it's underrated, but "Breathe" ftw please. I'm honestly pretty surprised "Cry" made it this far.

I just want to point out that our winner is SO popular, it would have taken 2 people simultaneously ranking it at #40 and the #2 song at #1 to be able to sink it... So honestly, the people who ranked our #1 low didn't even matter in the grand scheme of things!
In the end, as close as all the battles in this rankdown seemed to be, the race for the top was an absolute landslide...

I obviously ranked one higher than the other, but I'm absolutely okay with whatever wins. Rootin' for "Breathe" though.

I'm sad this is coming to an end! It was definitely my favorite rankdown (even though the end felt a bit rushed LOL)

I KNEW IT!
I was 100% sure "You Give Me Love" would be #01 in the album track rank-down as soon as I realized it hasn't shown up yet! LOL] I should've bet on it or something
It feels like such a obvious hit single, I'm really surprised to this day that they passed on it for a single release

Looking back on mu Top 10 album tracks, I've got only two songs missing the top10: "Love Will Always Win" (was that ever released in the USA?)and "If I Should Fall Behind".

Even though I expected "Cry" in the Top5, I was not expecting such a BIG victory like this at all!

As a huge fan of the Cry album, I'm glad it finally got some recognition as I felt it did incredibly well with 2 Top 10 songs in the official rankdown (including the #01) and a huge showing at the album tracks rankdown! Such an underrated album finally getting some love! LOL

Just wow, very surprised that Cry won this thing. I am all for the unexpected win, and very glad it won even if I only ranked it 7. I think my general dislike of the Cry albums other tracks tempered how much I actually the love the title track. This rankdown has really given me a much greater appreciation of Faith's discography, which I probably would have never explored without it. So thanks for putting this on bboat11

I think the Cry album needs its own rankdown eventually, just saying lol

That bridge in "Cry" gets me every time; such an awesome musical moment when the chords go in descending order and that pause ("Some kind of heartache, honey, give it a try..."). *shivers*
