Can Wavey✨️ still submit a list soon if he hasn't yet? I got him to do the last one so I was hoping he'd do this one too. <3

I mean, as long as Wavey✨️ isn't extra floppy and decides to put incredible songs like "Bye Bye" or "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" in his bottom 5, I will gladly accept his list

Alrighty folks, I am moments away from finishing the The Way That I Am album rankdown, which means one thing... "Revenge of the Best" is now CLOSED!!!!!!! Here is our final participant list: (22) 1. bboat112. George Strait Junkie3. zaclord 🌈4. castleoblivion265. Kanenrá:ke6. tim7. someguy8. austin9. rgreen062510. carriefan1511. recordyear12. g8erboi13. kw946114. .indulgecountry15. d3vin4416. toomuchboy17. Sambalada18. LBTrocks19. Cody Wants Out...20. fearlessarrow21. kansasmeetsmo22. Wavey✨️The Best of the Best rankdown had 37 participants, and this one only has 22, so that tells me quite a few people might have missed out that want to be tagged... So if anyone would like to be tagged in this, let me know! Here are some prediction questions to get us started: 1. What will be #1??!?!?!
2. What will be #50?
3. Sara Evans won the Best of the Best rankdown... Will she be able to do it again here? If not, how close will she get?
4. Which songs will be in the top 5?
5. Which songs will be in the bottom 5?
6. Which non-single will do the best? Where will it place? (Martina's "Everybody Does", Carrie's "Someday When I Stop Loving You", or Kip Moore's "Drive Me Crazy") 7. Which Christmas song will do the best? (Martina's "O Holy Night", or Martina's "Silver Bells") 8. Which Tim McGraw song will do better? ("Everywhere" or "Humble And Kind") 9. There were a few #2/#3 ties that made it into this rankdown. For each pair, which will come out ahead??? (Martina's "Whatever You Say" vs. "Wrong Again", Taylor's "Fearless" vs "You Belong With Me", and Brandy's "Stripes" vs. "Girl Next Door". 10. Which Gary Allan song will do better? ("Smoke Rings In The Dark" or "Best I Ever Had")
11. Which song will get the ultimate shame of being stuck at #2 yet again, thereby missing out on its chance to get revenge and win a rankdown??!
12. Any other thoughts/predictions?!?!?!

1. What will be #1? George's "Amarillo By Morning" might have a decent shot and also Carrie's "Two Black Cadillacs" or Jo Dee's "Bye Bye" might be contenders 2. What will be #50? Going to guess one of the Christmas songs so "Silver Bells" 3. Sara Evans won the Best of the Best rankdown...Will she be able to do it again here? If not, how close will she get? "Suds in the Bucket" should easily be a top 5 or 10 contender but I don't think she wins 4. Which songs will be in the top 5? "Amarillo By Morning", "Two Black Cadillacs", "Bye Bye", "Mama's Broken Heart", "Merry Go 'Round", and maybe "The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia" or "Suds in the Bucket" 5. Which songs will be in the bottom 5? "Silver Bells", "Drive Me Crazy", "O Holy Night", "The Time Has Come" and maybe "XO" or "I Just Call You Mine" 6. Which non-single will do the best and where will it place? Martina's "Everybody Does" in top 35 7. Which Christmas song will do the best? It's Martina vs. Martina lol...I'm going to guess "O Holy Night" 8. Which Tim McGraw song will do better? I remember "Humble and Kind" coming in at #2 in Tim's artist rankdown but I think "Everywhere" will finish ahead of it this time 9. There were a few #2/#3 ties that made it into this rankdown. For each pair, which will come out ahead? Martina's "Whatever You Say"; Taylor's "You Belong With Me"; Brandy's "Girl Next Door" 10. Which Gary Allan song will do better? "Smoke Rings In The Dark" 11. Which song will get the ultimate shame of being stuck at #2 yet again? "Bye Bye" 12. Any other thoughts/predictions? Hoping to see "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" make the top 10 but top 5 would be even better...otherwise this rankdown is going to be hard to predict overall

1. What will be #1??!?!?! Bye Bye
2. What will be #50? O Holy Night
3. Sara Evans won the Best of the Best rankdown... Will she be able to do it again here? If not, how close will she get? Suds in the Bucket seems to be stronger candidate for that, but I guess it will be top 10 only but not winning the rankdown...
4. Which songs will be in the top 5? Two Black Cadillacs, Before He Cheats, Bye Bye, Amarillo By Morning, Smoke Rings In The Dark
5. Which songs will be in the bottom 5? Both Christmas Songs, Should've Said No, Drive Me Crazy, Fearless
6. Which non-single will do the best? Where will it place?(Martina's "Everybody Does", Carrie's "Someday When I Stop Loving You", or Kip Moore's "Drive Me Crazy") Someday When I Stop Loving You
7. Which Christmas song will do the best? (Martina's "O Holy Night", or Martina's "Silver Bells") Silver Bells may be slightly more enjoyable.
8. Which Tim McGraw song will do better? ("Everywhere" or "Humble And Kind") Everywhere because HAK is overrated.
9. There were a few #2/#3 ties that made it into this rankdown. For each pair, which will come out ahead???(Martina's "Whatever You Say" vs. "Wrong Again", Taylor's "Fearless" vs "You Belong With Me", and Brandy's "Stripes" vs. "Girl Next Door". Whatever You Say You Belong With Me Stripes
10. Which Gary Allan song will do better? ("Smoke Rings In The Dark" or "Best I Ever Had") Smoke Rings in the Dark
11. Which song will get the ultimate shame of being stuck at #2 yet again, thereby missing out on its chance to get revenge and win a rankdown??! Before He Cheats
12. Any other thoughts/predictions?!?!?! I hope some 2010s song didn't last long just due to familiarity.

And to kick things off, a Christmas song bites the dust! Martina's version of "Silver Bells" is THE version of "Silver Bells". I wouldn't be surprised to see it be a top 2 contender in the eventual rankdown of Martina's Christmas stuff! However, in a context like this, I was not surprised to see it get tanked. The stigma that plagues Christmas songs is something that not even Martina can negate. This song was by no means a runaway loser, however. In fact, it wasn't even last place until Wavey✨️ stepped in there with his trash taste right at the very end...

Just how trash is Wavey✨️'s taste? Well, he bumped the song that was our most consistent last-place contender ahead of Martina at the last minute, by ranking it in his top 10
I guess she liked the way I made her laugh. She wanted more than what friends had. She kissed me once and we never looked back.
49. "Drive Me Crazy"

XO has better songwriting than most of her singles minus Peter Pan. It is still weak compared to other songs in the list though.

For me what makes it stand out negatively in this list is the production. Sure, if pop country is your cup of tea, you should have no problems with the production, and tbh I have no problems with it overall. But when compared to the rest of this list, it sticks out like a sore thumb in the production department.

The clue makes me think Wrong Again but no way that is outdone by her other Christmas song.

The clue seems like "Wrong Again", but no way it's this low. "Drive Me Crazy", perhaps?
