I'm super happy that my Top 2 made the Top 10! Plus my 5, 7, and 8 made it also so not too bad.

Leavin' home was the hardest thing we ever faced...9. High CottonTotal Points: 173 Average Rank: 19.2222 Standard Deviation: 11.2002 Billboard Hot Country Songs Peak: 1 LBTrocks - 6 bboat11 - 9 Cody Wants Out... - 9 gardyfan - 14 DistrictTwelve - 19 mamasaid - 22 tim - 25 someguy - 28 castleoblivion26 - 41 Following: Kanenrá:keYep, this stayed in the top 20 the whole time.
Next up is a song that I used as a hint in one of my previous rankdowns... Five top 20s leaves us, where three of them are top 10s and one of those is a #2...

Oops, and it's back to square one for bboat11 :kii:
Hurry up! Quick! Guess what's next! All but two people put this in their top 20!

FUN FACT: Written by Exile band members Mark Gray and JP Pennington, this song was originally recorded by Exile and released as a single in 1980, only peaking at #2 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 and failing to chart on Country.

I really enjoy every song in this top 10, so all of these reveals are painful... Lol. But so far I'd say the top 10 has not really been surprising so far.

I love "Reckless" a lot and I'm SO happy to see it make it to the Top 10 as I really didn't expect it to make it this far.

I'd love to see "Roll On" make it deeper into this but those other 4 are what I'd consider their signature songs so it'll be tough for it.

Final hint I'll give in this rankdown, kicking off the top 5: QUESTION OF THE DAY! Shadow or no shadow? I am thinking Roll On.

I have no idea based on the hint... Is that a groundhog reference? Is there a song that references the end of winter/start of spring??
I agree that "Roll On" makes the most sense for the next elimination, based on the fact that it is up against four of the most iconic country songs of all time. But I am going to be bold and say "Dixieland Delight" instead!

bbold's figured out my last clue! Wait, I meant bboat11 5. Dixieland DelightTotal Points: 116 Average Rank: 12.888889 Standard Deviation: 10.17895 Billboard Hot Country Songs Peak: 1 Cody Wants Out... - 2 mamasaid - 3 DistrictTwelve - 8 LBTrocks - 10 gardyfan - 10 tim - 13 someguy - 13 bboat11 - 22 castleoblivion26 - 35 Following: Kanenrá:ke Yep. I put a space in between our rankings this time; didn't see that one comin'...now did ya? I absolutely love the laid-back feel in this song; feels kinda sexy tbh I also love the sudden increase in tempo with the electric guitar guiding the way, one of my most favorite musical moments ever (I have tons of these in general; stay tuned to find out more!).

The second verse of "Dixieland Delight" contains the following: Chubby ol' groundhog, croakin' bullfrog The 'shadow or no shadow' question is related to Groundhog Day, where people speculate as to whether we'll have six more weeks of that dreary ol' winter weather or if Spring is on it's way Let's face it: it's still six more weeks of winter, no matter which way you cut it.

Oh wow, I thought for sure this would be in the top 3 at least! Such a classic, and definitely would have been deserving of going all the way! Speaking of the top 3, here is my prediction: 3. "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)" 2. "I'm In A Hurry (And Don't Know Why)" 1. "If You're Gonna Play In Texas (You Gotta Have A Fiddle In The Band)" (Although I am not-so-secretly rooting for "I'm In A Hurry" to make the top!) Are we going to finish this tonight??

Also @walker9, here's something else to add to the history books. The top 3 of this rankdown all have parentheses in their titles!
