Oh damn, I almost predicted "End Up With You", but I didn't think I ranked it low enough to bump it down! I guess early in the submission process it doesn't take much to make changes. Anyway, "End Up With You" is a song that caused me to start giving major side-eye to the whole album era when it was made available as a pre-release track, but it has grown on me SO much since then. Probably something about being underwhelmed by the album as a whole made that one suddenly seem much better... But now I find it pretty catchy, and with all the talk of it being thrown around as a potential single alongside "Drinking Alone" and "Southbound", I was actually rooting hard for it to be this one! "Southbound" being the one that is actually chosen is literally the worst-case scenario for me... I would have taken this one over that one in a heartbeat!

Good song that deserved to be higher, in my opinion.

Preview for #6
-- 3 5 7 8 5 3 4 4 4 4 5 5 5 5 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 6 6 6 6 6 6 6 6
This one was consistently in the top 5 that seemed to have a huge gap between the other 7 for most of the rankdown. In the middle, it got bumped down to #6 when "Love Wins" passed it (we all know how that ended though), but in the last handful of submissions this one got tanked a few times to allow the song that ended up at #5 to finally pass it and it finished 25 points below #5 (and only 11 points above #7). This one did toy around with being in the top 3 or 4 for the beginning of the submission process though.

“End Up With You” (my #9) was played on constant repeat when it was a pre-release. I love the song and think it would make a terrific single as far as radio goes. I love her voice on the verses.

Nah, no WAY this is "Low" next. I think that this is going to be where "Backsliding" lives up to its name.

Unless y'all tanked "Drinking Alone" out of the top 5! But I don't think I could be so lucky :)

Backsliding needs to win, with Spinning Bottles and Drinking Alone completing the Top 3. Edit: Bye, I can't at the best song not even making Top 5.

This is an overall excellent top 5. Pretty pleased with the results so far. I enjoy all of the songs remaining and wouldn't be too upset at any of them winning, but I'm thinking it's "Drinking Alone" that'll come out on top.
Predictions:
1. Drinking Alone 2. Low 3. Cry Pretty 4. Ghosts on the Stereo 5. Spinning Bottles

always thought Ghosts was underrated on this site, so I’m pleasantly surprised to see it make Top 5!

Still awaiting the title tracks elimination but other than that making the top 5 the rest are more or less the right calls

Drinking Alone and Low are the ONLY correct choices for top-2!

Preview for #6
-- 7 6 3 6 7 9 8 9 8 9 7 6 9 7 9 9 8 6 9 8 8 7 7 6 6 6 5 5 5 5 5 5 5 5
This one spent most of the rankdown bouncing around the lower part of the middle of the rankdown, but then found its stride in the later half to climb into the top 5 and stay there. It finished 25 points above, but actually ended only 3 points behind #4!!! There was a ton of distance between this one and the others in the top 6 at one point, but then it passed "Backsliding" and almost caught up to #4. In the last 15 lists, not a single person ranked this lower than #7!!! This included the two #1 ranks this song received.

Whew, y'all let this get way too high. Carrie slays this vocally, but that's about all I enjoy about this song.

This certainly overstayed its welcome. Glad to see it out now.

“Cry Pretty” is incredible. A true statement. The best song of 2018. One of the most acclaimed singles of her career.
I will never understand the hate. It’s peak Underwood. I stand by my #1.

In retrospect, I do think I underranked "Cry Pretty", but it's still easily my least favorite single of her career. I think I hold some resentment toward it for being a single for that reason. I understand why it was picked as the lead because it was an empowerment anthem about the hardships Carrie went through, however "Low" would have been a MUCH better choice for that, imo. It's vastly superior lyrically, way more representative of all her struggles, her vocal performance is so vulnerable that it's probably my favorite of her entire career.
Anyway, I'm glad "Low" beat "Cry Pretty" at least :)

Preview for #4
-- 5 4 1 3 2 2 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3 3 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 4 3 3 3 3 4 4 3 4
This one is one of the few songs to ever spend any time at #1! It was neck-and-neck with the song that ended up at #3 for the 2nd half of the submission process and with the last list, it fell to #4, missing the top 3 by 3 points. 3 people lose their #1s here, but the couple people who placed this in their bottom 3 will be happy with its elimination.

I’m confused—I thought “Cry Pretty” was ranked #5. Are we previewing #4 now?
That being said, I’m putting my money on “Low,” unfortunately. I think it’s the best song on the album but popular opinion really seems to support “Drinking Alone” and “Spinning Bottles.”
