Well...I started on this a few days ago and I've been getting pressed for time ever since. I felt bad enough for missing out on Everlasting, so I spent the last 20+ minutes throwing something quick together. I just submitted. Now it's mostly a matter of how many songs I either underranked or overranked, not if I did.

1. What will be #1? "Where Would You Be"
2. What will be #40? The Kid Rock duet "Care" can go first please
3. What song will be most polarizing? "Chances Are" or "Trip Around the Sun" Least? "Where Would You Be"
4. Predict the order and positions of the four Greatest Hits singles! "Where Would You Be" is the likely #1 contender followed by "Concrete Angel", "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues" and finally "Blessed"
5. How will the three new songs from the Hits and More album do? "Straight To The Bone" is my favorite so hopefully that lands in the top 15..."Surrender" happened to be my least favorite
6. Which Alan Jackson duet will do better? "Louisiana Woman Mississippi Man"
7. Which song with Reba McEntire will do better? Preferably "On My Own" but "Nashville Girls" far exceeded my expectations in the Terri Clark rankdown
8. Which live song will do best? "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" Worst? "Can You Fool" or "All My Friends"
9. Which My Heart song will do better? "Together Again"
10. Which Dave Stewart feature will do better? "Every Single Night" (I ended up really enjoying this one!)
11. Oldest song on the list vs newest song! Which will do better? "Grandview"
12. Duets with old people! Which one will do better? "Uncloudy Day"
13. Any other thoughts/predictions? I'm glad we started doing these "extra" rankdowns for songs that just didn't fit into a full singles rankdown as I think this is the best way to go about ranking songs such as these. I've found I'm not really a fan of putting random songs into a singles rankdown especially for artists with a discography such as Martina's.

1. What will be #1? It'll be either "Where Would You Be" or "Concrete Angel"
2. What will be #40? "An Affair to Remember"
3. What song will be most polarizing? Least? Most: "On My Own" maybe? idk | Least: WWYB
4. Predict the order and positions of the four Greatest Hits singles! (When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues, Blessed, Where Would You Be, Concrete Angel) WWYB and Concrete will be the top 2 is my guess. "Blessed" will make the top 5. "God-Fearin'" will be top 10.
5. How will the three new songs from the Hits and More album do? (Surrender, Straight To The Bone, Being Myself) Gonna guess that all three of them make the top 20, but I'll say that only 1 of them reaches the top 10.
6. Which Alan Jackson duet will do better? (Never Loved Before, Lousiana Woman Mississippi Man) Tough, but I'll guess Louisiana/Mississippi here. The other song is a little repetitive.
7. Which song with Reba McEntire will do better? (On My Own, Nashville Girls) Both slay, but "Nashville Girls"!
8. Which live song will do best? Worst? (Hit Me With Your Best Shot, We've Got Tonight, Jackson, Can You Fool, All My Friends, When I Stop Dreaming) Best: "Jackson" | Worst: "Can You Fool" because Pat Monahan is pretty unpopular
9. Which My Heart song will do better? (At Last, Together Again) "Together Again"
10. Which Dave Stewart feature will do better? (All Messed Up, Every Single Night) Idk, I think both will be bottom 5 honestly, lol.
11. Oldest song on the list vs newest song! Which will do better? (When Love Is Gone vs. Grandview) "When Love Is Gone"
12. Duets with old people! Which one will do better? (Uncloudy Day vs. An Affair To Remember) "Uncloudy Day" for sure.

Bowing out in last place, we say goodbye to "God Bless America"! This development is not terribly surprising, as this is a song that never seems to do well in rankdowns, regardless of who sings it. There doesn't seem to be much of a niche for patriotic songs on Pulse, plus the whole fact that not everybody on here is from America... Lol
That being said, she has by FAR the best version of this song I have ever heard. The dynamic range of her voice is on full display in this song, and it really helps give it more emotional impact than your typical blindingly pro-America song. Not to mention the orchestral arrangement for this one is top notch!

"Can You Fool" is a song that I considered not including, but ended up putting back in to get us up to a nice multiple of 5. Martina has WAY better live performances than this song would indicate... I do love the harmonica on this song, but honestly her and Pat don't sound too great together here. It was on pace to leave in the bottom 5 for most of the submission process, and tbh I am not surprised or disappointed to see that!

Lmao "An Affair To Remember" is simply awful Ray Price's horrific old man vibrato, the way Martina scoops every single note more than she needs to, the cheesy and boring orchestral arrangement... Not to mention the painstaking fact that Ray Price is probably old enough to be Martina's grandfather, and here they are singing about being in love. I am shocked y'all let this get as high as you did! By the way, this isn't Kanenrá:ke's first floppy ranking...

I guess I will mention that I understand how special this song is. The fact that Ray Price is such a legend, and he gave us this collection as a final goodbye to his fans right before he died, and he asked Martina of all people to be a duet partner on his final album. This was no doubt an incredible experience for her to record, and she was probably SO starstruck to be singing with such an icon! The age gap doesn't really matter, because it's beside the point. I think it is a song that should be appreciated for its artistic significance, but it still doesn't exactly stack up very well against other songs...
