DTMYNIL has NO business being below the top 5. Stars on the Water overstayed in my opinion and should've been the one to leave at #7 (preferably earlier but it does do something for others so one's trash is another's treasure ) Absolutely stunned by these Top 3 results! I thought for sure Run or L&LW was driving a getaway car to the finish line! All in all though, at least 2 of my Top 3 made the Top 3 and I'm so excited that Run gets to appear in an eventual album tracks rankdown... Is that the title I think it is?! I think it's the title I think it is

It always irks me when something like "Run" nearly winning his prior singles rankdown then loses in the album rankdown to the other two singles that finished nowhere even remotely close to the top of the big singles rankdown. I do prefer "Living and Living Well" so I wouldn't have complained if that had bested it, but of course naturally the single from the album I care for the least wound up being the upset victor. Meh. Glad to see "Stars on the Water" made the top 5 though, that's pretty awesome.

Whoo loved this finish as I thought for sure "She'll Leave You With A Smile" would come in 3rd for sure!
Literally any of my top 5 could've won and I'd have been thrilled though lol
"The Real Thing", "Road Less Traveled", and "Don't Tell Me You're Not In Love" all sound like they would've been smash #1's for George if they had went with another single, even "Stars" probably would've done very well as well.
Fantastic album glad I snuck my list in at the very end there!

George Strait: What A Merry Rankdown This Could Be!!!!!!!
Seasons greetings, Pulse!!!!! I know many of you are not in the Christmas Spirit yet.........but some of you are!!! Myself included!!!! So I am going to start shifting gears a little and opening up the season's first Christmas rankdown (Translation: I don't want to try to cram in another normal album set before doing the Christmas rankdown, because I know how overworked y'all are this time of year, so I will just open this one now to give you even more time to work on it.) George Strait has 3 Christmas albums, and rather than do 3 separate rankdowns for the album series, I decided to combine them all into one big rankdown. This rankdown has 31 songs (10 songs per album, plus the iconic "Christmas Cookies" which somehow never made it onto an album!) If you're interested in hearing twin fiddles playing Christmas songs with a touch of Western swing, this is the rankdown for you!!!! Playlist: (1hr 28min)
1. White Christmas 2. There's A New Kid In Town 3. Winter Wonderland 4. Merry Christmas Strait To You 5. Away In A Manger 6. For Christ's Sake, It's Christmas 7. Frosty The Snowman 8. When It's Christmas Time In Texas 9. Santa Claus Is Coming To Town 10. What A Merry Christmas This Could Be 11. I Know What I Want For Christmas 12. Old Time Christmas 13. Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow 14. Jingle Bell Rock 15. Merry Christmas (Wherever You Are) 16. All I Want For Christmas (Is My Two Front Teeth) 17. The Christmas Song 18. Noel Leon 19. Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer 20. Santa's On His Way 21. Joy To The World 22. We Three Kings 23. Silent Night 24. Jingle Bells 25. O Come, All Ye Faithful 26. Up On The Housetop 27. We Wish You A Merry Christmas 28. O Christmas Tree 29. Hark, The Herald Angels Sing 30. Deck The Halls 31. Christmas Cookies **Side note: 31 songs may seem like a lot, but several of these are barely even 2 minutes long. It'll go quick :)
Listen to the songs and rank them from 1-31, with 1 being your favorite! Submit your list to me via Private Message when you are done. I will set the deadline for this one for just ahead of the Christmas buzz. Sunday, December 15th is our day!!!!!

FINALLY! I love all three of George’s Christmas albums (obviously!) as I have so many wonderful memories created by each one of them. I usually don’t put on holiday music until after Thanksgiving but I had to make an exception for George and LAW.

I'm going to bed (it's 2:30 am where I live ) but today is my day off from classes, and it's currently 25 degrees with a forecast for winter weather coming up soon and cold temperatures and all that. In other words, I'm in the Merry freakin' mood for the Christmas season! I'll get a list in today!

I usually don’t put on holiday music until after Thanksgiving but I had to make an exception for George and LAW. I give myself that rule as well every year and this year I caved (on Halloween oopsies) when it was down to 30 degrees and began snowing in the afternoon. I ended up putting on Sia's holiday album, and then before I knew it I had Martina's going, and then Reba's, and then Carrie's CR Walmart edition tracks...in other words I fell into a rabbit hole and honestly I'm just in the mood now. Wearing a Christmas pajama blouse right now in fact apologies for the double post

George does do Christmas music with lots of charm...I still hate Christmas music. I prefer his novelty style stuff over the traditional stuff. The hubby was a huge Elf-ish sort who loved Christmas music...but when I was home I picked. These 3 albums were frequently in my rotation.
So, the Christmas music is in a box...and will be unpacked the day after Thanksgiving...so I'm in....

I HATE Christmas music... unless one of my favorite artists does it, and George definitely falls under that exception. I'm excited for this. A timely RD... although I refuse to even attempt it before Thanksgiving is over.

The beauty of Christmas music is that we know the material well enough I can run this down in my head & turn it in before bedtime should the spirit move me....

Close to submitting, there were some great versions and about 3 to 4 clunkers.
For those who haven't seen "When It's Christmas Time in Texas", this video is something else...

You plan on closing this tonight bboat11? Nah, I’ve been really lax with reminders since I haven’t been on much for a few days. I’ll give people a couple more days to get it done :)
