Looking forward to doing this, but I really wish it was just the 24 songs from her two albums. Putting all these random unreleased and Xmas songs in there feels like unnecessary clutter to me.

This is how I feel as well. But am OK with the STUDIO VERSION Christmas song(s) and the soundtrack song.

[zaclord 🌈]

Yeah I definitely will rank anything live at the bottom automatically. Christmas songs likely won't make it far either. I think those would be good "extras" to highlight along the way though :)

Hey guys! I'm back! So last week was ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE for me, and I had to take a week off from Pulse again. I recovered a bit over Thanksgiving Break this week and although next week will probably still be not so good, I think I'm ready to continue posting here.

As from popular request and thinking about it, I have decided to only include Kelsea's 24 songs from her two albums in this rankdown, and I'll be introducing the other songs as we get along during reveals, so no need to rank her unreleased songs! Just her 24 songs from the albums! I received two submissions already from kf1992 and soulfulwings , and you guys don't need to do anything to change your lists! I'll just remove the unreleased songs from your lists!

And because of this one week hiatus, I will extend the due date to MONDAY, JANUARY 1, 2018 AT 11:59PM PACIFIC TIME!

I have updated the OP with these updates

[Deleted]

Will work on this next week hopefully! Glad to see you safe.

[zaclord 🌈]

Holy crap this is gonna be so hard for me to pick my favorite!!! Do I pick the clear best song from her debut? Or do I pick one of the 3 that I’m utterly obsessed with from the new album? I’m gonna wait and do this so I can listen to the new album some more (and revisit the old one) to give it a more fair ranking.

[.indulgecountry]

Glad you're back! I saw you change your account name and I was a little confused/worried, lol.

Also yay @ only having to rank the 24 songs on the albums.

[Deleted]

Done! Took a while, but it was worth it. She has a lot of great songs! My 1 could be out early though but lets see what happens. I don't know what to expect on this. Only hated 24 and 20 to 23 were more Meh than bad.

[austin]

I am interested to see where everyone else ranks her songs. There is only one correct answer for #1, though.

[Deleted]

I just realized that when sending my list, I accidently typed in Square Pigs instead of Square Pegs. XD

Helping bump this to page 1 so others can see.

Attention everyone - chicken told me to do this, he has been busy lately and can't get on Pulse until January 2 according to him and told me to tag people and say that deadline is extending to January 15. I just copy pasted the tag list and removed people who said pass so I have no idea who sent him lists so apologize if you got tagged and already sent or not interested. But yea, anyways send your lists in to him and not me, thanks! You have 2 more weeks.

I sent him a list but wanna revise one ranking as I didn't realize how amazing it was until later in the process.

[zaclord 🌈]

Glad I waited to really listen to Unapologetically thoroughly before sending a list. I’ve grown to love SO many of those songs on there and I hope people treat them fairly in here!

He said that anyone can revise list if they want.

[Deleted]

Oh were ranking both albums together
I'm gonna need to give Unapolgetically more listening time if I plan on doing this
Though I can get an idea of where I'll put a number of the songs

[SHOOTER]

Yasss for an extension!

[.indulgecountry]

Deadline is Jan 15th for this ?

If we can consider gravey to be a reputable and trustworthy source for rankdown information...

He said due to real life issues he may extend again unfortunately, or fortunately for those who do want an extension but I don't mind what happens. He said that he will soon come and announce it himself so I'll wait this time.

[.indulgecountry]

Well I went ahead and cranked this out finally so whatever happens I'm good with 'cause I'm done now anyway, lol.

[kf1992]

So, do we get any information?

I'll see what info I can get cause I want this to start too or at least another extension or something.

[Leo ✔]

Tell me the official deadline and I'll work on this.

[chicken077]

due to personal circumstances, rankdown and my tenure on Pulse has been put on hiatus indefinitely

I may or may not pass this rankdown on to someone else, depending on whether I decide to return to Pulse or not.

Lots of people have put in time and effort to do this though, so I don't think it is right to put it on hiatus indefinitely. I mean, you could extend it by a month if you have to, to see if your schedule clears up by the start of March or something before deciding whether to pass it on to somebody else. Then at least we would have a concrete "If Chicken doesn't start the rankdown by this date, at least we know it will still be happening" date.

Of course it is up to you, but that is just my recommendation. I hope your personal life gets easier soon! I miss having you around more! If there is ever anything I can do to help, let me know

[thelegends]

Idk really, Machine Heart and IHLS will be bottom. Peter Pan and Legends will be top 2

[kf1992]

So what is going on? If you can't do it due to personal circumstances give it to another person. I think it's not fair for people who put their time into it to cancel the whole thing.

Well my understanding is that it's not cancelled, it's just "on hiatus indefinitely". But I know that Kelsea is very near to chicken077's heart, so when he decides to come back I trust that this will definitely still be a priority for him. The problem is we don't know when he's coming back...

@walker9, you haven't heard anything from him, have you? Didn't you say he left Discord for good too?

He still comes on sometimes but not in the server and idk. JT is closer to him than I am.

[bboat11]

Alright. Well, as the self proclaimed "organizer of Country rankdowns", I will try to reach out to Chicken and get some information. I would also gladly host this rankdown in his place if he doesn't come back, unless anybody else is dying to do it themselves. I definitely think we should wait a few weeks to see if he comes back and/or tells anybody anything.
