Wow! Shocked! I had no expectation that "Cry" would come anywhere close to winning this. It's a great song and even though I prefer "Breathe," I'm always here for a little unpredictability! ;) Thanks for a great RD, bboat11! I agree with The Brazilian Guy 🇧🇷 that this has been one of the best ones to follow along with to date. You are definitely a great host. <3

Ok, to finish tonight I would like to share the amazing performance Faith did of my #01 pick at 2002 CMAs... It just reaffirm why i'm so proud of my choice and so happy it made Top10! This was a year before I really started getting into country music and I honestly have never seen this performance before, but wooooow was that impeccable. That's probably one of the best vocal performances to grace the CMA stages that I've come across. She absolutely murdered that!

I feel like the "Cry" era was Faith's peak vocal, which says a lot considering she still sounds great to this day at almost 50! During that period I think she experimented more with her voice e got more confident with it.

I am very happy that It Matters to Me end up in third place. I absolutely love everything about this song, melody, vocals and lyrics are simply awesome. I am also happy that The Way You Love Me, This Kiss and Breathe all end up so high. I liked this songs even before I knew that Country exist as a music genre. They even get played in radio from time to time and then I am never sure whether This Kiss or The way you love me is on air or - This 2 are just too similar but in a good way. The winner of this rankdown goes down with That Don't Impress me Much as worst rankdown winner to date. I don't like this song at all and I am just disapointed that it beat Breathe. I mean Breath was pop year end number 1 in 2000 and Cry didn't even made it to top 10 on Hot Country Songs chart and then Cry wins the rankdown.... Just NO! Anyway thank you bboat11 for hosting it was great rankdown.

What a shocker! I would've never imagined "Cry" to be #1, let alone top 5. The way people were talking about "The Way You Love Me" had me worried that it wouldn't make it to the top 10, but I'm glad it was able to finish at #6! Thanks bboat11 for hosting!

Wow, I'm (pleasantly) shocked that Cry won, and by such a large margin! I honestly thought this one might not make the top 10, but I'm glad to see so many others love this song as well. I've been obsessed with it pretty much ever since it came out, and the album as a whole is incredible.
I always wondered why this song only peaked at #12 though on the country chart. I didn't follow the charts back then at all, but I vaguely recall reading once where Cry initially was flying up the charts when it was first released and pretty much came to a screeching halt once the album was released and everyone could hear how it was much more pop than country overall so radio stopped playing Cry. Is there any truth to this, or did I completely make this up?

Yessssssss "Cry" is easily my fave Faith single so I am so happy it pulled off the surprise victory over the predictable "Breathe" (despite that being my #3)!

I'm so excited that Secret of Life and It Matters to Me made the top 5. These songs were so difficult to rank against each other.
My top album tracks, btw, would have probably been "Dearly Beloved" and "Paris." I'm also a fan of some of the stuff from Cry - "If This is the End" and "If You're Gonna Fly Away" specifically.

I just heard it for the first time, and I agree with you so much! That was absolutely incredible!

I didn't know it was a bonus track from the Faith album actually

That's right, the ENTIRE Breathe album ended up being featured in this rankdown! It didn't seem to do too well in the album track rankdown, but literally every song on the album ended up being on somebody's favorites list!

With that, the Faith Hill rankdown is officially complete! Thank you all so much for participating, following along, commenting, and overall just making this a fun experience! I personally gained a whole new appreciation for Faith's music, and I hope you did too!

"Beautiful" is (deservedly so) the only album track on "Cry" to be snubbed by our participants LOL I loved this Rankdown! Definitely a favorite! You did an amazing job hosting and creating a fun atmosphere for us to engage bboat11
