Damn, I wanted "Church Bells" to win. It did better in the Carrie Underwood RD I hosted it so idk what happened in the year since I hosted that, but I guess "Dirty Laundry" is pretty good too. Biggest injustice though was CCA being out before "Chaser." Not to mention that "Church Bells" almost went top 5 in the 2016 Country rankdown, while "Dirty Laundry" barely made the top 30... ("Smoke Break" and "Heartbeat" also both made the top 20 in that same rankdown, almost top 10 for "Heartbeat"). And then "Dirty Laundry" barely made the top 20 in the 2017 rankdown just a week ago... So yeah, by all past frames of reference, "Church Bells" should have been able to curb stomp "Dirty Laundry" into submission. Heck, even "Heartbeat" should have been ahead of it if we were being truly consistent!

First of all, "Choctaw County Affair" was a clear #1, sorry to those of you without taste, lol.
Secondly, "Heartbeat" had no business being top 3, or top 5 or even top 10.

How did I miss all of this? :( And how did Dirty Laundry win? Easily one of her most overrated songs. I hope people sabotage more in the Blown Away Rankdown.

I feel like itβll end up coming down to my #4 and #5, but I really hope my 1, 2 or 3 could be the dark horse upset!!

It's usually really easy for me to pick my last place, but with this one I struggled with it. I like that song...

Easily 3/4 of my least favorite Carrie songs ever are on Blown Away. But the high highs outweigh the low lows for sure on this one.

People are supposed to rank the songs based on personal preference, and try not to be influenced by other biases. If they tank a song just because they think it will win, then there is absolutely no relevance to the results whatsoever, and then what's the point of even having a rankdown? It's not a game of strategy, it's simply using statistical averages to determine data about the degree to which songs are liked. (So if you tried to sabotage the Blown Away rankdown, I am sure zaclord π will let you edit your list real quick before anybody else notices!)

This is correct! kf1992 you are supposed to just send me your list of songs on the album ranked by your personal preference. 1 is your fave and 14 is your least fave. If you submitted a list of anything other than that, just PM me your official list and I'll correct it. Sorry if I didn't make that clear! Its not a competition, but just a fun way to reveal some fun statistics about the average tastes of pulse posters

Blown Away was relatively easy. Doing Play On, her most slandered and mismanaged era, will be tough since it is her best body of work, and that's a fact.

Yeah like I said earlier I think my #4 and #5 songs will probably be the top 2. But that doesnβt mean Iβm gonna rank them last to help my top 3....even if I secretly want to ππ hahaha itβs all about the honors system

Done! Hopefully I got it right this time around. Blown Away is a difficult album to rank especially when you have to pick favorites

Play On as her best album? These are some high-level alternative facts that are being presented. Blown Away isn't my personal favorite from her (that would be Carnival Ride), but objectively speaking, it's her most accomplished work as an LP so far.

Objectively speaking, Blown Away is probably her best album. It is certainly the album that has moved her sound forward. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the SH/CR/PO albums, but they were very similar in sound for the most part. BA, sonically, was different for her and it paid off.

As much as I disagree with Play On being her best album, I'm equally as confused when people cite Blown Away as her best. There's literally some of her absolute worst material on that record that can't be overlooked no matter how great the highs are. It's not a cohesive body of work at all imo, lol.

Her first two albums are her best albums as a whole. However, there are more high highs on Blown Away than any of her other albums, imo.

Blown Away is her WORST album by a country mile. There are 2-3 songs that are amazing and the rest are absolutely cringeworthy. I look forward to blowing this rankdown away to get back to her better albums.
Carnival Ride is king.
