1, 4, 6, 17. The 17th song isn't bad but is far inferior to the other three imo. I expect it to be 4th in the rankdown.

This'll sound bad, but I was starting to fear that "My Church" would take it all. Also sad to see that LBT couldn't hold on much longer; I was beginning to peg them as a top three contender here. If Martina can beat Brad though, that would be sweet!

bboat11 “Bye Bye” can win if we have a #2s rankdown... but maybe it’ll finish at #2 there too lmao ^ Ooh let’s do a #2s rankdown!! haha I really don't want this to turn into a series, because that would get annoying really fast. "Okay, now let's do all the rankdown #10s! Now the #11s! Now the #12s!" Lmao it would never end. That being said, I do think a #2s rankdown could be really fun! And it would serve a purpose, because it would allow many of the incredible songs that have been overshadowed by other songs to be highlighted. We would get a chance to have a winner that had never won a rankdown before too, which is always a plus! Believe it or not, when I first envisioned this rankdown, I was like, "OMG the runner ups are just as strong as the winners! What if we have a rankdown of all the #1s and #2s?" But then I decided a 50-song rankdown would be better for people than a 100-song rankdown, so I decided to just do the #1s. But I have the list of #2s ready to go, if the demand is there! After this rankdown finishes, I will post the song list and let y'all decide if a #2s rankdown is actually something you want to do :)

He put that bottle to his head and pulled the trigger And finally drank away her memory. Life is short, but this time it was bigger Than the strength he had to get up off his knees.

Bowing out at #4 is our final multi-rankdown winner! Brad/Alison's "Whiskey Lullaby" is another song that has won every rankdown it has ever been a part of, until today! In fact, I should mention that since this rankdown was opened, WL has also won the Brad Paisley rankdown! The runner up was "Mud On The Tires." I didn't mention them in the write-up for the song, since the eligibility period for this rankdown was technically the Taylor Swift Red rankdown, and Brad Paisley rankdown came after that, so I wasn't sure what to do In the context of this rankdown, it was one of the few songs to have won 2, but now that the Brad Paisley rankdown happened, this one is tied with "I'm Alright" with 3 rankdown wins!

@ the people who tanked Whiskey Lullaby. Personally, while I love the song and definitely think it deserves to be a rankdown winner, I think it is a tad overrated... Lol it's just a well-sung ballad with a strong melody and great lyrics. But so is "Letter To Me". So is "We Danced". So is "He Didn't Have To Be". So is "I Wish You'd Stay." So why is THIS the Brad Paisley song that manages to get almost unanimous support? The fact that it can literally obliterate all of those without any competition whatsoever is astonishing to me, because I would expect them to have a similar reception.

Well, word gets around in a small, small town. They said he was a dangerous man. But mama was proud and she stood her ground, Though she knew she was on the losin' end. Some folks whispered, some folks talked, But everybody looked the other way. And when time ran out there was no one about On Independence Day.

Seriously people? Y’all blocked the showdown of Pulse’s most beloved female country singers: Martina vs Sara. You should be ashamed of yourselves.

That trajectory for "Independence Day" tho!!! This song was the clear frontrunner from the start. It held onto the #1 spot for the first half of the submission process, before the tankers finally caught up to it. Even then it pretty much always trended as a top 3 finisher. It makes sense, as this is still to this day the most agreed-upon rankdown winner (In the Martina McBride rankdown, it had an average score of 8.23, out of a 100 point scale... Simply astounding! The next highest is Kelsea Ballerini's "Peter Pan", at 11.88)
With four #1 votes, that means this song has the most #1 ranks of the entire rankdown. It also trounced "Whiskey Lullaby" by a whopping 60 points, so was never really in danger of finishing behind it like what happened in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown.

Judging by the way all 3 of them performed in this rankdown, I don't think I'd call any of them "Pulse's Most Beloved". Maybe more like, "Pulse's Most Loudly Stanned For"

Super happy Sara pulled off the win! "Real Fine Place" was a fantastic song to revisit after all this time!
