Ladies and gentlemen, your top 30!!!
A Broken Wing A Real Fine Place To Start Better Man Blown Away Blue Clear Sky Burning House Carrying Your Love With Me Cry Follow Your Arrow Goodbye Earl Heads Carolina, Tails California I'm Alright I’m In A Hurry (And Don’t Know Why) Independence Day Is There Life Out There Just To See You Smile Leave The Pieces My Church Neon Moon Right Where I Need To Be Saints & Angels She’s In Love With The Boy Stupid Boy That Don’t Impress Me Much The House That Built Me Tin Man What Was I Thinkin’ Whiskey Lullaby Wild Angels You Don’t Even Know Who I Am
Now that they have made it this far, 5 of these songs must still miss the top half... Any predictions for which ones they will be?

I had a dream about a burning house. You were stuck inside; I couldn't get you out. I lay beside you and pulled you close, And the two of us went up in smoke.

Ooh, I got a perfect ranking for "Burning House."
Also lol @ it going out here while the runner-up "My Church" is still alive in this. It may not make it much farther either, but I am glad to see Maren beat Cam here.

Cam was the very first rankdown winner, and she was pretty much always on pace to finish around the middle of this rankdown. She was a top 20 contender for a brief spell, but otherwise she was a top 30 contender. "Burning House" is an amazing and beautiful song, and I love the musical arrangement so much It was overplayed though, and it is difficult to place against the rest of this playlist just because it sounds so different. I wish it had been able to make the top half though.

Not at all surprised to see “Burning House” leave already but do wish it would’ve placed just a bit higher. I’m a big fan of Cam’s music and keep holding out hope that country radio will fully embrace her. With or without their support I’ll keep showing up to her shows...I’ve seen her three times already with a fourth concert planned in October!

Peter Pan out this early is a crime. I'm disgusted.

She snuck out one night and met me by the front gate, Her Daddy came out wavin' that twelve gauge. We tore out the drive, he peppered my tailgate. What was I thinkin'? Oh, I knew there'd be hell to pay, But that crossed my mind a little too late.

"What Was I Thinkin'" is a song that I loved as a kid, but I have started to get kinda tired of it through the years. Constant overplay did it in. Now I still consider it to be an iconic debut hit, but it is by no means one that I constantly seek out to listen to anymore. I'm still not upset that it was able to win the Dierks rankdown, but among a list like this it just does not compare. As you can see from the trajectory, this was a bottom 10 contender at times, and was pretty much never a top 30 contender. It just got incredibly lucky right at the end!

There was a span of quite a few years where I would immediately hit the dial on the radio whenever “What Was I Thinkin’” would come on; only recently have I been able to listen to it again and enjoy the song for what it is. It’s still overplayed to death though and I’m not at all disappointed to see it leave now.

"Peter Pan" is a song that I have grown to love the more I hear it. In fact I would probably place it in my Top 20 favorite songs of the past 10 years, it definitely hits home a little more as this reminds me of my ex big time (even though I'm the one named Peter, not him lol). In this list it was so painful to put it at #20 but these songs are all among some of my favorites ever and I couldn't push this one any higher, sad this didn't at least make the Top 30, can it please switch places with "Just To See You Smile" wherever that ends up, please?
"Anything But Mine" is a song that I love but I have never considered it a favorite which made it easy to put it at the bottom of this list.
"Burning House" while the lyrics are very powerful and Cam sounds great I have a really hard time with this song. The lines 'I had a dream about a burning house. You were stuck inside; I couldn't get you out.' kills me. Not gonna get too personal here but when you drive up to the house of someone you care about and it is burning down and the person you care about is inside you will not be able to handle this song, those lines are too painful to be able to enjoy the song.
"What Was I Thinkin'" is a great song and I am glad it won Dierks RD but I do agree with the overplay factor and I am fine with it going here.
Again can "Just To See You Smile" please leave already lol. That and "Leave The Pieces", both super overrated.

Glad "Peter Pan" is finally gone. But sad to see "Burning House" and "What Was I Thinkin" leave already. I have to think overplay on the radio did them both in, especially Dierks.

If it had been “Settle For A Slowdown” that would’ve been in my top 5. This Dierks song did about what it should have.

I love Dierks Bentley, so I lost my #10...he's so out-of-the-box & genuine....I helped "Peter Pan" pack...Kelsi Ballerini does nothing for me...

I'm surprised the Kenny Chesney and Dierks Bentley made it so far. Hopefully "Blue Clear Sky" and "Leave The Pieces" go next.

Martina's "Over The Rainbow" is a hint for this next song, because that is the well known theme song for The Wizard Of Oz, which also features a certain character by a certain name...
Hey there Mr. Tin Man, You don't know how lucky you are. You shouldn't spend your whole life wishin' For something bound to fall apart. Every time you're feeling empty, Better thank your lucky stars. If you ever felt one breaking, You'd never want a heart.

Little sad to see "Tin Man" just miss the top half here, but I'm not terribly surprised. So glad Miranda got this far though at least.

I must say, I am very impressed Patty Loveless managed to make it so far! She seems to be one of those female artist that Pulse forgot, and her music is definitely older and more dated compared to the majority of stuff that usually wins rankdowns. "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" has so far proven to be quite a force when it comes to rankdowns, however. Shame it couldn't make the top half here!
