We're only human baby. We walk on broken ground. We lose our way, We come unwound. We turn in circles baby. We're never satisfied. We fall from grace, Forget we can fly. But through all the tears that we cry, We'll survive.

And there it is; the song that baaaaaaarely beat "You Don't Even Know Who I Am" to win castleoblivion26 's Favorite Female Artists rankdown baaaaaaaaaaarely squeaked ahead of it in this rankdown too by merely 5 points. "Saints & Angels" is an incredible song, so I was very frustrated to see that it continuously got tanked and was not really a contender for the top half... Like, HOW?!?! The melody is infectious, and Sara has literally never sounded better than she does on this song. I was SO happy when this won castle's rankdown, because it also seems to be a more obscure Sara song, that probably doesn't really have a chance of winning any future rankdowns. In every rankdown that it will logically be a part of in the future (a year-end rankdown, a Sara singles rankdown, and a Born to Fly album rankdown), it will have to compete with some of Sara's biggest mega-smashes such as "Born To Fly" and "I Could Not Ask For More". So I am so glad it got its chance here!

While y'all are getting perched, here's a hint for #25! I've gotta believe that's Cry, and if so good riddence. It really stands out from the other remaining songs. Also mildly surprised to see Shania still in, since she always seems to be fairly polarizing.

The songs remaining are so good. I have my favorites, but I don't think there is a song in the remaining list that doesn't belong.

Saints and Angels is so good <3. I’m comfortable with it ending up here though.

"You Don't Even Know Who I Am" deserved better. Am okay with "Tin Man" and "Saints & Angels" going here though.

I'm glad Peter Pan is finally out. If this is by far the best Kelsea song I can't imagine how bad her other songs are. Anything But Mine has grown on me a lot since Kenny Chesney rankdown - this chorus is just so catchy. I'm a little surprised that Tin Man was eliminated in the bottom half. I still think It's a great song but I kind of got tired of it.
Overall I'm happy with the songs that made it to the top 25. I think the next song that are going to be eliminated are Cry, Stupid Boy, Goodbye Earl and Wild Angels.

Hey y'all... I am SO SORRY to leave you hanging the last couple weeks. As I mentioned in a few different places, my best friend got married last Saturday! It was awesome and beautiful, and I was the best man so I was super busy helping it all happen So much fun though! Now this week I have been back, but it has been so freaking hot I haven't been doing much of anything... Fall cannot come soon enough... But anyway, I'm going to go ahead and do a few reveals tonight! I know it's super late for most of you, but I'm gonna do it anyway Kicking off our top 25, somebody is going to lose their #1

Nothing's gonna save me, I can see it in your eyes. Some kind of heartache; Honey, give it a try... I don't want pity, I just want what is mine.

I was shocked to see so much hate come in for "Cry"... It was such an inconsistent song for people! As you can see from the trajectory, it was a top 15 contender for the first part of the submission process... And then at times it was barely able to hang on to the top 30!
It is the first song we have seen where somebody put it in all 5 positions of the top 5, and at least 1/3 of us put it in our top 20s. I could see somebody who is into more traditional country disliking this song, but tbh I feel like it has aged much better than people thought it would back when Faith put out the Cry album and it was all scandalous for being so poppy... Lol.

I know! Looking back, the backlash that this song got was kind of ridiculous. It would be more traditional country if it were released as a single today, lol.

"Right Where I Need To Be" is one of those songs that I just can't help but love because of the instrumentation and production. That electric guitar tone you can hear from the moment the songs starts is heavenly! I am pleased it was able to make the top half, as I know Gary is one of the more polarizing artists on Pulse. "Wild Angels" deserved WAY better, imo. This song was on pace to be a top 10 contender for almost half the submission process... And talk about an all-time classic! Martina McBride's very first #1 hit has gone on to be one of her most iconic songs, even after songs like "A Broken Wing" and "Concrete Angel" became more of the style people associate her with. Imo her sound on the Wild Angels album was mid-90s country perfection, and as much as I love the way her career evolved, I wish we had a bit more material in this style from her to revisit
