20. Any other thoughts/predictions? We needed some SHeDAISY I'm pretty sure you could get a SHeDAISY song into the rankdown winners list if you hosted a SHeDAISY rankdown! That's my strategy for getting so many Martina songs onto the list.

1. What is going to be #1?"I'm Alright" seems like a good candidate to win perhaps? Maybe a Sara Evans track? 2. What is going to be #51?"Girl of the Summer" 3. Which songs will be the most polarizing?"All Too Well" and "Anyway", maybe even "Anything But Mine" 4. Which Christmas song will place higher (Faith's "Where Are You Christmas" or Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas")? How closely will they place to each other?"Where Are You Christmas", although I don't think they'll be super far from each other. Maybe like 5-10 positions. 5. Taylor Swift and Martina McBride are the two most heavily-represented artists here. Which one will be the first to lose multiple songs??!Obviously Taylor, stop with this Taylor slander. 6. Taylor Swift has 5 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story, Enchanted, All Too Well, Red)Best: "All Too Well" Worst: "Teardrops On My Guitar" 7. Martina McBride has 6 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cheap Whiskey, Independence Day, Wild Angels, A Broken Wing, Anyway, Wrong Baby Wrong, Whatcha Gonna Do)Best: "Independence Day" Worst: "Whatacha Gonna Do" 8. Carrie Underwood has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cowboy Casanova, Blown Away, Dirty Laundry)Best: "Blown Away" Worst: "Cowboy Casanova" 9. Sara Evans also has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Saints & Angels, A Real Fine Place To Start, Long Way Down)Best: Ugh this is hard because it's a tossup between "Saints & Angels" and "A Real Fine Place To Start"... Worst: That leaves "Long Way Down", lol 10. Only two songs here have won 3 rankdowns. Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright" and Brad Paisley/Alison Kraus' "Whiskey Lullaby". Which one will do better here??"I'm Alright", but I think both of them will make the top 10. 11. This rankdown will also feature an epic showdown between two mortal enemies. "Whiskey Lullaby" baaaaarely squeaked out a victory over "Independence Day" in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown, drawing a lot of battle lines in the sand in the process. Which one will reign supreme here?They were never mortal enemies to begin with, you just made them so because you were bitter Martina lost to Brad/Alison, lol. That being said, I think "Independence Day" will win here. I feel like people are tired of seeing "Whiskey Lullaby" win (but somehow not "I'm Alright", it is a damn great song so I'm not complaning about "I'm Alright" not getting flack) and Pulse loves female artists as a whole. 12. How well will the first rankdown winner, Cam's "Burning House", do?I think it'll end up in the 20s. 13. Taylor's "Red" and "All Too Well" tied to win the Red album rankdown. Which will do better here? How MUCH better will it do?"All Too Well" will do better, I think "Red" may squeak into the 30s (I'm thnking 40s is more likely though), whereas I can see "All Too Well" making it into the 20s. 14. Kelsea Ballerini's "Peter Pan" was the biggest landslide winner of any rankdown so far, beating the 2nd place finisher "XO" by an average of 26 points out of 100 (normally songs only win by like 4 or 5 points out of 100... Lol). How well will it do here?I think it'll end up in the 20s, but I'm not seeing too many pop posters here so 30s is definitely plausible. 15. Which '90s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brooks & Dunn's "Neon Moon", George Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me", or Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright")"I'm Alright" 16. Which '00s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brad/Alison's "Whiskey Lullaby", Sara's "A Real Fine Place To Start", or The Wreckers' "Leave The Pieces")"A Real Fine Place To Start" 17. Which '10s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow", Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes", Cam's "Burning House", or LBT's "A Better Man"?)"Follow Your Arrow", but also bboat11 how dare you get the song title wrong for "Better Man"? Disgusting. Unqualified to be a country RD host. 18. Does your #1 have a chance of winning??Maybe. 19. Which country rankdown host is the coolest? (zaclord, castleoblivion, indulge, Cody, fearlessarrow, Jordan, LBTflops, someguy, tim, sabre14, Sambalada, Cynthia, gravey, or BBOAT)bboat11 gets my vote. The dedication to country rankdowns is parallel to none and he's such a fun person! "LBTflops" though, lmao 20. Any other thoughts/predictions?Can't wait to see how bad Taylor gets tanked, yay.

1. What is going to be #1? I have no idea how this is going to go...maybe "Independence Day"2. What is going to be #51? Maybe one of the two Christmas songs or an album cut3. Which songs will be the most polarizing? "Cowboy Casanova," "Enchanted," "Anyway," and maybe "You Don't Even Know Who I Am"4. Which Christmas song will place higher and how close? "Hard Candy Christmas" better outperform here or else...and Christmas songs tend to not do well in these kind of rankdowns so maybe both out in the bottom 105. Taylor Swift and Martina McBride are the two most heavily-represented artists here. Which one will be the first to lose multiple songs?! Martina McBride 6. Taylor Swift has 5 songs here. Which will do the best/worst? Out in this order: Enchanted, All Too Well, Love Story, Red, Teardrops on My Guitar7. Martina McBride has 6 7 songs here. Which will do the best/worst? Out in this order: Whatcha Gonna Do, Wrong Baby Wrong, Cheap Whiskey, Anyway, A Broken Wing, Wild Angels, Independence Day8. Carrie Underwood has 3 songs. Which will do the best/worst? Out in this order: Cowboy Casanova, Dirty Laundry, Blown Away9. Sara Evans also has 3 songs. Which will do the best/worst? You get the idea: Long Way Down, Saints & Angels, A Real Fine Place to Start10. Only two songs here have won 3 rankdowns (Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright" and Brad Paisley/Alison Krauss' "Whiskey Lullaby") Which one will do better here? Umm...head to head matchup so I'll guess "I'm Alright" here11. This rankdown will also feature an epic showdown between two mortal enemies. "Whiskey Lullaby" baaaaarely squeaked out a victory over "Independence Day" in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown, drawing a lot of battle lines in the sand in the process. Which one will reign supreme here? "Independence Day"12. How well will the first rankdown winner Cam's "Burning House" do? Hopefully top 2013. Taylor's "Red" and "All Too Well" tied to win the Red album rankdown. Which will do better here? I'm going to guess "Red" does better in this rankdown with a top 25 showing while "All Too Well" is top 3014. Kelsea Ballerini's "Peter Pan" was the biggest landslide winner of any rankdown so far, beating the 2nd place finisher "XO" by an average of 26 points out of 100 (normally songs only win by like 4 or 5 points out of 100... Lol). How well will it do here? This is going against some stiff competition so might underperform people's expectations...I'm going to guess top 30 showing15. Which '90s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brooks & Dunn's "Neon Moon", George Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me", or Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright") I want to go with George here, but I think Jo Dee might just edge him out16. Which '00s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brad/Alison's "Whiskey Lullaby", Sara's "A Real Fine Place To Start", or The Wreckers' "Leave The Pieces") "Whiskey Lullaby"17. Which '10s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow", Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes", Cam's "Burning House", or LBT's "A Better Man"?) I'd love for Cam to outperform each song, but I'm going to say LBT does better.18. Does your #1 have a chance of winning? not likely19. Which country rankdown host is the coolest? (zaclord, castleoblivion, indulge, Cody, fearlessarrow, Jordan, LBTflops, someguy, tim, sabre14, Sambalada, Cynthia, gravey, or BBOAT) Umm really?!? C'mon...everyone is great!20.

1. What is going to be #1?Do you REALLY have to ask? I mean, less than half of these deserve to win imo. 2. What is going to be #51?Now this will be kinda tough to answer. I'd like to see either "Love Story", "Just to See You Smile", "Dirty Laundry", or "What Was I Thinkin'" pop up down there, but realistically, I can see most of those four making the top 40 fairly easily. I have a feeling most of the bottom 11 will hurt. 3. Which songs will be the most polarizing?Shania, "Love Story", "Right Where I Need to Be" (unfortunately), and a couple of Carrie's songs. 4. Which Christmas song will place higher (Faith's "Where Are You Christmas" or Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas")? How closely will they place to each other?Faith FTW!!!! Hoping for some good distance between the two tbh. 5. Taylor Swift and Martina McBride are the two most heavily-represented artists here. Which one will be the first to lose multiple songs??!Taylor, easily. 6. Taylor Swift has 5 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story, Enchanted, All Too Well, Red)I can see "All Too Well" and "Teardrops on My Guitar" doing well. The rest of them is up in the air; I think "Love Story" will do the worst. 7. Martina McBride has 7 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cheap Whiskey, Independence Day, Wild Angels, A Broken Wing, Anyway, Wrong Baby Wrong, Whatcha Gonna Do)I'll say that either "Wild Angels" or "Independence Day" will do the best; I'll give the slight edge to ID. I think WBWBW will leave first. 8. Carrie Underwood has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cowboy Casanova, Blown Away, Dirty Laundry)Hoping for CC to pull it off, but I think BA is a stronger force. I'm personally hoping DL doesn't last very long, though. 9. Sara Evans also has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Saints & Angels, A Real Fine Place To Start, Long Way Down)Hoping for "Real Fine Place" to do the best actually. I think "Saints & Angels" will leave first, though. 10. Only two songs here have won 3 rankdowns. Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright" and Brad Paisley/Alison Kraus' "Whiskey Lullaby". Which one will do better here??I'm all, I'm all, I'm alright...11. This rankdown will also feature an epic showdown between two mortal enemies. "Whiskey Lullaby" baaaaarely squeaked out a victory over "Independence Day" in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown, drawing a lot of battle lines in the sand in the process. Which one will reign supreme here?I think ID will pull through, but just barely. 12. How well will the first rankdown winner, Cam's "Burning House", do?Somewhere in the mid-30s I think. 13. Taylor's "Red" and "All Too Well" tied to win the Red album rankdown. Which will do better here? How MUCH better will it do?"All Too Well" better prevail! If it does, I think it'll be by a couple of points or so though. 14. Kelsea Ballerini's "Peter Pan" was the biggest landslide winner of any rankdown so far, beating the 2nd place finisher "XO" by an average of 26 points out of 100 (normally songs only win by like 4 or 5 points out of 100... Lol). How well will it do here?I see it performing on par with "Burning House" actually. 15. Which '90s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brooks & Dunn's "Neon Moon", George Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me", or Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright")"I'm Alright"...but am I OK, though? 16. Which '00s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brad/Alison's "Whiskey Lullaby", Sara's "A Real Fine Place To Start", or The Wreckers' "Leave The Pieces")"Whiskey Lullaby", but I'd love to see "Real Fine Place" pull an upset! 17. Which '10s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow", Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes", Cam's "Burning House", or LBT's "Better Man"?)LBT (hey! where's my sandwich?!?) 18. Does your #1 have a chance of winning??Doubt it. 19. Which country rankdown host is the coolest? (zaclord, castleoblivion, indulge, Cody, fearlessarrow, Jordan, LBTflops, someguy, tim, sabre14, Sambalada, Cynthia, gravey, or BBOAT)Four-way tie between bboat, castle, jordan, and sabre if you ask me. 20. Any other thoughts/predictions?I didn't know what to choose as my #1 between my top 2. Other than that...

1. What is going to be #1? Probably the overrated "Whiskey Lullaby" yet again, but I sure hope not... Maybe "Blown Away" or "My Church" could be contenders. They'd be much better winners imo.2. What is going to be #51? I think that there's a good chance it could be Dolly Parton getting tanked because of Xmas, but other than her... I can imagine "Whatcha Gonna Do," "Girl of the Summer," and "Love Can Go to Hell" being low.3. Which songs will be the most polarizing? "Peter Pan," "Stupid Boy," and maybe some of the Taylor Swift songs.4. Which Christmas song will place higher (Faith's "Where Are You Christmas" or Dolly's "Hard Candy Christmas")? How closely will they place to each other? Faith Hill, but not by much probably. I expect both to be pretty low.5. Taylor Swift and Martina McBride are the two most heavily-represented artists here. Which one will be the first to lose multiple songs??! Based on the songs represented from each, I'm gonna guess Martina will lose two first.6. Taylor Swift has 5 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Teardrops on My Guitar, Love Story, Enchanted, All Too Well, Red) Best: "All Too Well" / Worst: "Enchanted"7. Martina McBride has 7 songs here. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cheap Whiskey, Independence Day, Wild Angels, A Broken Wing, Anyway, Wrong Baby Wrong, Whatcha Gonna Do) Best: "Independence Day" / Worst: "Whatcha Gonna Do"8. Carrie Underwood has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Cowboy Casanova, Blown Away, Dirty Laundry) Best: "Blown Away" / Worst: "Dirty Laundry"9. Sara Evans also has 3 songs. Which will do the best? Which will do the worst? (Saints & Angels, A Real Fine Place To Start, Long Way Down) Best: "A Real Fine Place to Start" / Worst: "Long Way Down"10. Only two songs here have won 3 rankdowns. Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright" and Brad Paisley/Alison Kraus' "Whiskey Lullaby". Which one will do better here?? "I'm Alright" please for everything that is good & holy *crosses fingers*11. This rankdown will also feature an epic showdown between two mortal enemies. "Whiskey Lullaby" baaaaarely squeaked out a victory over "Independence Day" in the CMA Songs of the Year rankdown, drawing a lot of battle lines in the sand in the process. Which one will reign supreme here? Praying for "Independence Day" to get her revenge here!12. How well will the first rankdown winner, Cam's "Burning House", do? Hmmmm... somewhere near Top 20 I think (like 18-24ish maybe).13. Taylor's "Red" and "All Too Well" tied to win the Red album rankdown. Which will do better here? How MUCH better will it do? "All Too Well" and I think it'll do a fair bit better here, like maybe a good 10 positions or so.14. Kelsea Ballerini's "Peter Pan" was the biggest landslide winner of any rankdown so far, beating the 2nd place finisher "XO" by an average of 26 points out of 100 (normally songs only win by like 4 or 5 points out of 100... Lol). How well will it do here? Guessing it falls somewhere in the middle, close to Top 20 but maybe just missing out. It is a clear favorite in Kelsea's catalog, but she's a more polarizing artist so I can see her getting drug down a bit here.15. Which '90s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brooks & Dunn's "Neon Moon", George Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me", or Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright") "I'm Alright"16. Which '00s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Brad/Alison's "Whiskey Lullaby", Sara's "A Real Fine Place To Start", or The Wreckers' "Leave The Pieces") Hoping it's either Sara or The Wreckers, but it'll probably be Brad knowing my luck...17. Which '10s Year-End rankdown winner will do better here? (Kacey Musgraves' "Follow Your Arrow", Chris Young's "Lonely Eyes", Cam's "Burning House", or LBT's "Better Man"?) "Follow Your Arrow" probably.18. Does your #1 have a chance of winning?? I doubt it, but I can see it making the Top 20 here and *maybe* the Top 10... I hope, anyway!19. Which country rankdown host is the coolest? (zaclord, castleoblivion, indulge, Cody, fearlessarrow, Jordan, LBTflops, someguy, tim, sabre14, Sambalada, Cynthia, gravey, or BBOAT) Anyone but Bussy!

Any other thoughts/predictions? The points difference between #1 and #2 should be super close.

10. Only two songs here have won 3 rankdowns. Jo Dee Messina's "I'm Alright" and Brad Paisley/Alison Kraus' "Whiskey Lullaby". Which one will do better here?? I think both will do great but I'm Alright will probably do better.
11. This rankdown will also feature an epic showdown between two mortal enemies.

12. How well will the first rankdown winner, Cam's "Burning House", do? Somewhere between 25 and 35 place.
13. Taylor's "Red" and "All Too Well" tied to win the Red album rankdown. Which will do better here? How MUCH better will it do? All Too Well will do better. It will end up 4 spots higher.
14.

18. Does your #1 have a chance of winning?? Yes. Not only it has chance of winning, I'm almost sure it will win. It is just the best song in this rankdown and anything other that it winning will be a huge surprise and disappointment for me.
19. Which country rankdown host is the coolest? (zaclord, castleoblivion, indulge, Cody, fearlessarrow, Jordan, LBTflops, someguy, tim, sabre14, Sambalada, Cynthia, gravey, or BBOAT) Cynthia for sure - I only did one of her rankdowns and the right song won. And this never happens when other people host rankdowns. But completely serious all country rankdown hosts are great. Keep up the good work.

Overrated and bad are two different things. I just found this flat.

Before we get started, here is a look at the points totals for the rankdown! As you can see, last place ran away with last place, the bottom 6 ran away with the bottom 6, and everything else managed to space themselves out fairly evenly. (Until the top 3, which definitely seemed to dominate for the majority of the submission process.) Coming up at #51! 5 of us lose our #51. However, 4 people are going to lose a top 20, including somebody's #2....

The boardwalk's empty, the gray stole the blue from the sky,And ain't nobody watchin' the sun burnin' into the night. Nobody's hangin' 'round makin' out in the photo booth. Guess this old beach town burned out with me and you.

"Girl of the Summer" is an awesome song, and I am thrilled to have it be part of my life now that I discovered it through the Kip Moore rankdown! However, knowing how tepid the response was to the Kip Moore rankdown to begin with, how unenthusiastically Kip Moore is received on Pulse, and how strong this list is as a whole, I am not surprised at all to see this leaving first. It fell to the bottom of the list extremely quickly, and once it was there, it was a very clear runaway loser. It was so far behind for most of the submission process that somebody could have ranked it at #1 and it wouldn't have helped at all!
I think the lyrics are delightfully picturesque, and the melody is really strong. It's a good song for Kip's voice too. Definitely a worthy winner of the Kip Moore rankdown, but definitely can see why it might not hold its own among other rankdown winners.

Oh, and the hint! Lyrics from the first pre-chorus. "I can see the smoke rollin' off your lips, Feel my fingers runnin' through the belt loops on your hips."

I was thinkin' "Dirty Laundry" because that gif had me thinkin' about "Smoke Break", which was the lead single from Storyteller. Look at how wrong I am!

Hint for #50! Lmao I don't know why it got so big on Pulse... It was like 1/20 this size on Google Coming up at #50, only two people are going to lose their #51. However, FIVE people will lose a top 5!!!!!!!! Y'all, s**t is getting real VERY quickly with this rankdown... Lol

I was enchanted to meet you...
