“Can’t Stop Loving You” - Even though I didn’t place this in my top 30 I’m not at all disappointed to see it make it since I think this is a solid song in which Sara and Isacc’s voices mesh well together...but this song is one of the few that I wanted to come back around and listen to again so it ended up slipping further down on my list. “Feels Just Like a Love Song” - This song just never seemed to click me and again is another one that I didn’t want to come back around to revisit much. Whatever the reasons were for it being pulled from radio Sara definitely made the right choice and came back with a much better song. “Tonight” - This probably wasn’t the best choice for radio considering its length, but wow this is such an underrated song! I really fell in love with this one and I absolutely love the way Sara sings So lay me down easy, and hold on tight, and tell me I'm the only one you see tonight in the chorus. This is the kind of song that makes me want to just sit in a candlelit bubble bath with a glass of wine

A few more to tide y'all over before I disappear for a few days on my weekend roadtrip. <3 Up next at #27 we have our first Top 40 hit from Sara's catalog. Feel free to speculate on what it could be to anyone who's around at the moment!

Feel free to speculate on what it could be to anyone who's around at the moment! A top 40 hit? This has gotta be "You'll Always Be My Baby". I can't imagine any of her bigger hits being out before that one... Unless of course by top 40 you mean BARELY top 40... In which case it could be any number of songs

The No Place That Far era is the next in the rankdown to experience its first loss, at the expense of "Fool, I'm a Woman," the final single from the record at the tail-end of the 90s, right before Sara Evans blew up into a reliable hit-maker at country radio. This is her biggest hit we've seen so far, but that isn't saying a whole lot since this one only made it into the 30s on the country charts. This plucky strong independent woman anthem that features a lot of pitched high notes and a toe-tapping rhythm sees several top 10 ranks expunged here, but we're still in the bottom half of the rankdown so its no surprise that we see another reveal where a song largely received placements outside of poster's top 20s. No one disliked this one enough to put it all the way down in their bottom 5 though, so I suppose that's a small silver lining for this one. "Well, fool I'm a woman and bound to change my... Well, fool I'm a woman and I'm about to change my... Well, fool I'm a woman and I just changed my mind. "

Or else he would have said "top 20 hit", not "top 40 hit"

Completely forgot that this was still in tbh. Not bad by any means, but it kept getting pushed down my list the further I delved into her discography.

Just a fun fact for you here, Martina sings background vocals on Fool I’m a Woman. Honestly, I spend most of my time trying to pay attention to background vocals when I listen to it.

After eliminating our first Top 40 hit from the rankdown, we immediately revert to eliminating the first official radio single of her career to miss the charts completely. "Love You with All My Heart" was thrown to the wolves as a third single from her Greatest Hits project with little promotion or hope of sticking to help bridge some of the gap in between projects for Sara Evans given the messy divorce she had been put through that put her career on the back-burner temporarily. This rather brazen sex jam is musically very modern and a bit heavy-handed in the production department, like the two singles that preceded it at radio. I've always felt this was among her most underrated songs in her catalog, and a few even surpassed even my love for it, with three of y'all saving a spot for it in your top 5. Not everyone was so keen on this forgotten gem, however, as it lands relatively low in this rankdown. "I can feel you watchin', I can feel your eyes on me I can hear you whisper and I just get so weak But I'm a little bit scared, it's been a long time Since I let my guard down and let someone inside You don't need to wonder 'cause tonight you'll get it all"

"Love You With All My Heart" is such an underrated song! I consider this to be one of her sexiest vocal performances The way her voice sounds on the "when your fingers touch my skin" line is enough to make any man wish to have some fingers on some skin! Lmao Plus the way her voice cracks from a high note to a lower note the final time she says "Love you with all my heart" at the end of the song... That is super unique, and I have never heard anybody else do a vocal effect that even comes close to what that one sounds like. She is such an underrated vocalist! This song has no business being out ahead of some songs that are still in... Given a choice, I would have had this be the second release from her Greatest Hits album, and let "Some Things Never Change" be the unfortunate third song that never got a push and therefore never charted... LYWAMH is overall a MUCH stronger and more memorable song.

LYWAMH is overall a MUCH stronger and more memorable song. Well about that... this one didn't get too much further, lol. In back-to-back reveals, we say goodbye to 2/3 of the Greatest Hits era singles, as we move up to "Some Things Never Change" as the biggest Sara Evans radio hit to bite the dust so far (it reached the top 30). This uptempo and bright outlook on the domestic life of a wife and mother who can hold onto the unwavering support of family in a world of constant change bested the similarly-themed "Feels Just Like a Love Song" both here and on the charts. It received one lonely top 10 rank courtesy of @xfer (who has at this point already lost almost half his top 10 #rip), and a handful of ranks in the teens, but it mostly received a place in poster's 20s, which is precisely where it landed in this rankdown. It was on track for awhile to finish ahead of "Love You with All My Heart," but things changed hands between the two at least a few times, and ultimately in the end this one won out by about 10 points. "In a world that keeps turnin' and movin' so fast When you can't hold on to nothin' and nothin' seems to last It's so good to know that love still remains"

Also, that last reveal actually tied with our #24 song in points, but the tie-breaker was decided by highest rank, which happened to be a #1, meaning that our first #1 loss comes with the next song... that I'll reveal in a few days!

I tried to find the live performance she did where Martina performed backing vocals live for her, but all I could find was the one I posted. I’ve seen it before. It was on a Girls Night out Special with Martina, Sara, Lorrie Morgan, and Mindy McCready (hope I spelled that right) from around 1998-1999. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to find it on YouTube again for the life of me. I guess it got taken down.

"Fool, I'm a Woman" got screwed! So so sooooo underrated. I think this would have been a massive hit if say Martina released it, or even if Sara released it as part of Born To Fly. Not sure why it didn't work when it was released. It is just so incredibly vocally different for Sara, and I LOVE that. BTW, if my #1 is out this soon, I quit Pulse. .indulgecountry can we get a list of songs still in pretty please?

Fool, I’m a Woman – This is one of those songs I’m really surprised didn’t do better on the charts. Especially following a #1 I would have thought that this would have at least gone top 20. It’s so catchy and gets stuck in your head. I wouldn’t say this is one of my favorites by any means at all, but it’s still a nice song.
Love You with All My Heart – I love this song! It was by far my favorite of the new songs on her Greatest Hits…I actually forgot that it was released as a single until I did this rankdown.
Some Things Never Change – I like this song quite a bit. I sometimes wonder if this would have been a bigger hit if it had been on a studio album and not a greatest hits album. I could be wrong, but I feel sometimes labels don’t put as much promotion out there for greatest hits singles. Then again Sara’s always been all over the place as far as how high (or low) her singles chart. It’s always been next to impossible to predict how well her singles would do.
1) What songs are you surprised to see in the bottom 10? I’m not really surprised by anything in the bottom 10. There are a few songs I thought might go a little higher, but nothing in the bottom 10 that really surprises me. 2) What songs do you expect to be out in the next 5 or so reveals? Low (I guess I’m surprised this one is still in), All the Love You Left Me, Three Chords and the Truth, Cryin’ Game, Anywhere
