We have finished with the regular albums, which means at this point all that is left to do for George is rank his non-album songs (at least until he gives us another new album someday)! I had wanted to squeeze this rankdown in before the end of the year, but there simply wasn't enough time... I decided to hold off until after the Christmas wave, as well as the year-end rankdown wave, AND the BotB/RotB wave...
Well, the Christmas rankdowns are done, I am officially a little more than 1/4 of the way through 2020 Country reveals, and BotB/RotB are due in a matter of days, so... The time has come to revisit this!!!!!
I know we have a TON of rankdowns open right now, but those are going to start drastically clearing out soon since like 1/3 of them are closing within the next week, lol. Also, George seems to have a very specific and dedicated group of fans who will probably participate in this regardless of what else is going on, so we're gonna cram it in now!! I've been waiting long enough 
This Extras rd features the previously unreleased tracks that were attached to his Strait Out Of The Box collection, the singles that were new on his various Hits collections, a couple new songs that are only on his live albums, and a handful of features from other people's albums! Should be a healthy enough mix of huge hits and deep discoveries to satisfy any level of Strait fan!

I've just gotta say, how freaking awesome is it to have an Extras rankdown where EVERY song is available on streaming services  And not to mention one with a list that is this small! This one'll be like a breath of fresh air for y'all to do between Trisha and Pam!  |

Alright Strait fans! Time to come through! This is due in two weeks. I do not plan to extend it at all, since George's albums have always had a really consistent participant base and an Extras rankdown is not likely to entice any new people to join simply by having more time.

I was doing so good being caught up on rankdowns, but I'm getting so far behind! You know I'm doing this though.  |

Aaaaand just a little update since we are now a week and a half away Still no new lists! I know things are really busy lately, but don't forget about this one. It'll literally be the easiest Extras rankdown you ever do, because it's small-ish and the entire thing is available on streaming!

I might need a bit of an extension if I'm gonna get to this one...my uncle's funeral is tomorrow and I've been really busy with my new job so haven't had time to get to every single current rankdown.

I will work under the presumption that no extensions will be given and ask to be tagged in results; really wanted to give "Check Yes or No" and "I Hate Everything" a big boost! :(

Just submitted. Wow, that was ECLECTIC. One of the songs was rather painful. The song kept morphing into something worse. Other than that, there were some pretty good listens.

If you guys really want to submit, I can allow a little more time! I still need to finish Mickey Guyton reveals anyway :) I can only do a couple more days though, as I would like to start revealing this this weekend at the latest. I would definitely like more participants for this anyway... Let's say that anybody who can get a list in by Saturday night will be accepted :) ( LBTrocks, you're lucky I don't close this right now!!!! Always gotta save it for the absolute last day, smh...) |

This is a VERY strong playlist, btw. Anyone who skips it just because it's an Extras rd is really missing out! I'd say this is one of the stronger Extras rds we've done. And so easy to do, since it's fairly small, and entirely on streaming services!

And just like that, our extension window is already coming to a close! We've added kw9461 to our midst thanks to the extension, and I am still hopeful that we can get past 10 lists! (Assuming Cody Wants Out... is working on it since he made a Spotify playlist, .indulgecountry is working on it since Cody made a Spotify playlist, and LBTrocks is working on it because he's always late af. We might even get to 12 if taylor is terrified comes through!) I can leave it open for y'all since I know you're working on it, but definitely try to get it to me sometime this weekend please I've gotta keep things moving with how busy the rankdown schedule is!

Unless you'll accept on Monday, just go on without me and tag me in reveals. I've been swamped with work (I do my own hours so I can always change that lol but it's good money if I do eight hour shifts for at least five days a week) and still need to send in my Trisha extras list.

Yeah, you can get it to me tomorrow if you want! I'm still waiting on .indulgecountry too, so I can just start reveals for Pixar's Short Films while I wait :) I do want to start it soon tho, so I don't have to extend Kelsea more than a couple days... |

4) What song will be most polarizing? Least polarizing?
5) Which of the singles will place highest? Where will it place? (Check Yes Or No, I Know She Still Loves Me, The Best Day, I Hate Everything)
6) Do any of the singles have a chance of missing the top 5?
7) What will be the highest-placing Alan Jackson duet (Murder on Music Row, Designated Drinker)? Where will it place?
8) Which live recording will do the best? ("Take Me Back To Tulsa", "Jackson" ft. Martina)
