Also, is anybody else preparing for that awesome moment when Reba McEntire occupies 4 of the top 5 spots??! That'll be a glorious moment indeed! I could definitely see that happening as 4 of her most iconic songs are a part of this. I may have underranked one or two of her songs though...by underranked I should state that they are all within my Top 30! "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am" is a great song and I am really glad to see it make it this far! Yeah, I could honestly see all of them making it! I could see it being all 4 Reba songs and "Maybe It Was Memphis". That would be the most awesome top 5 ever (It would also be especially funny if Reba then proceeded to lose the rankdown to Pam Tillis, despite owning 80% of the top 5

what the f**k was I smoking when I ranked "What Kind of Fool Do You Think I Am" THAT low?!!? It's not a favorite by any means, largely due to me not being that fond of his voice, but the song is pretty good and I feel like I should have put it in my top 80 or 70.

"What She's Doing Now" is one of Garth's best songs. I love it SO much I also can't understand how anybody could hate the song... Like, even if you hate Garth, it's still an incredible song... I mean, "Independence Day" is a great song, but I sure as hell wouldn't still like it if Garth Brooks were singing it. His voice is like death to me. Just awful.

Here are some facts for the next five songs:
- We'll kick off the top 20 with a single top 10 ranking from yours truly and someone will finally lose their next-to-last place!
- Only one song without a single top 10 ranking remains and we'll be saying goodbye to that one pretty soon.
- Right before the top 15, someone will lose their #1.
What will miss the top 15?

That leaves .indulgecountry , Kanenrá:ke , or George Strait Junkie ! What will miss the top 15? I'm going to guess "Past the Point of Rescue," "My Next Broken Heart," "Dallas," "Born Country," and hopefully "Shake the Sugar Tree" as I think it's well past its time to leave (I mean is this really one of the top 20 songs of 1992?!?).

Oh yeah, one more question: were there any surprises (good and bad) for y'all as far as what made the top 20 and what didn't?

Yep! I got overzealous in my rankings again! I even ranked it higher than I did in the Alabama RD! I love this one, especially the parts where the mandolin plays along with the guitar in the intro and the fiddle comes in during the second chorus! Now that's the kind of country I'm into! It also looks like I'm not alone as 75% of us put this song in our top half. This was looking to be a top-10 contender early on until later lists came in and almost pushed this out of the top 20.

Next up is some déjà vu! We have a tie, between TWO WOMEN! The catch is, the winner of this tie will be leaving the rankdown while the loser will keep on chug-a-luggin' for a good while! The loser of this tie is also the only remaining song to have no top ten ranks, while the winner only has one top 10!

The 90’s were the best decade of country music in my life. I wish I could’ve ranked some of these songs a lot higher than I did.

Suzy's never been a big name on Pulse so having her make it this far is great!
I'm still so in love with her voice, it's so beautiful!

Anyone ready to guess what misses the top 15?
Someone will lose a #1 and half of us put this in our top 10!

Lol this majorly overstayed. Only two people even ranked it Top 20. I'm surprised that I'm the lowest rank too.

could this be a Reba single? I feel it is way too soon for that.
If it is my #1 I will not be pleased lol

It was good while it lasted...Reba loses her first song right before the top 15, which is the title track and lead single from her most popular album to date (selling over 4 million copies). This also marks the first #1 loss for us since my #1 elimination about a dozen of reveals ago. However, exactly half of us put this in our top 10, with four additional top fives included. I actually don't remember this song that much; I like it well enough, but I find the mood kinda sad. I did underrank this though. Sorry guys. :(

this song is definitely a sad song but this deserved so much better. Especially if you know the story behind the song and what led to her making this album.

"For My Broken Heart" is really pretty and I like it, but I couldn't justify ranking it any higher than I did in such a strong year.
