It's been a good rankdown, and I feel pretty confident my #2 will win, too. I'd be shocked if it didn't, really.

This is the predictable yet correct top 5! So happy to see "Postcard From Paris" and "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" in alongside the 3 mega-hits that were super predictably going to make the top 5 I still think this is going to come down to "Better Dig Two" versus "If I Die Young". 5. "Postcard From Paris" 4. "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" 3. "Done" 2. "Better Dig Two" 1. "If I Die Young" Even though "Better Dig Two" is very possibly going to win this, I am really pulling for IIDY here... They're both overrated and overplayed as hell, but IIDY was much less so imo. (Although my favorites here are "Postcard" and "Lonely", as those two never had a chance to burn on me and I am pretty much sick of the other three...)

All five songs that are left are all great. I would be fine with any of those five winning.

Whew thank goodness. Their most overrated single for sure. It's not bad, but all of their pre-identity crisis singles are better

Predictable, yet deserving top 2. It's my #1 vs my #3 so I am happy with either one winning (pretty sure my #3 will win though)

The remaining two songs are just perfect. I would've loved to rank "Don't Let Me Be Lonely" at #1 as I adore that song, but "If I Die Young" and "Better Dig Two" somehow manage to be better, wouldn't mind seeing either of them win, I went back and forth a million times about this #1.

I was 100% sure If I Die Young would win the whole thing, but still, this was really fun to follow along. I had no idea how most of their songs would do, so I'm actually pleasantly surprised I wasn't too off on my picks!

Proud of y'all getting "Postcard from Paris" into the Top 3 because I love that song!

Really thought and hoped "Better Dig Two" would edge out the win, but "If I Die Young" is also incredible so...

Oh yay "If I Die Young" took the crown! I thought "Better Dig Two" had a better shot at winning this but glad to be proven wrong. "If I Die Young" is probably one of the best songs that broke through an artist during this decade across all genres, it's so good! Thanks for hosting g8erboi!
