Holy shit we're already in the top 10! Looking at the songs remaining, this top 10 is pretty much what I expected aside from the Chris Young song (although that one slays so I'm not exactly disappointed!) Seeing "The Party Ain't Over Yet" fall just short is a little unfortunate, as the chorus melody has literally not left my head once since we did the album rankdown, but this is still a very solid and fitting top 10.
I'll have to catch up on previous results once this week is over, but I'll follow along with the remaining reveals!!

I have sped through these reveals due to how long it has been since I opened this and figured with the low participant count there wouldn't be much commentary from anyone and wanted to wrap this up. That being said I would like to finish this one so I'm gonna reveal them now and am glad to have a commentator while I do

I feel like "When the Fallen Angels Fly" was a pretty obvious contender for the top 10, as it does seem to be one of her more popular deep cuts. Oprah can keep her side-eye, it's still nearly in my top 1/3

Oprah can keep her side-eye, it's still nearly in my top 1/3 I thought it was kinda funny how tim and I ranked this at #1 and then no one else ranked it in their Top 15, with only 1 other Top 20 so I had to do the Oprah side-eye. I absolutely adore this song and the more I hear it the more I love it. I just love Patty's vocals on this song and the lyrics are great. To see this album have no songs in the Top 7 was disappointing as well as it is my favorite album of her career.

With this 3 way tie we've now eliminated everyones #1's. Also there is only 1 #2 rank remaining, as well as only 2 #3 ranks remaining. The remaining total #'s are 67, 58, 57, and 53 so this is very close. What will be #1? stay tuned...

Oo, my #1 was highest, and the only one in the top 5?! I'll take it, even if I would have rather it been the actual winner (Side note, why is someguy tanking these incredible songs!!?!) There is still something about the dark vibe of "I Don't Want To Feel Like That" that I just can't get enough of. And the explosive chorus of "I Don't Wanna Be That Strong" is just sooo powerful and emotive! I would have loved to see either of these win!

If either of those had won I would have been so happy, as both are just incredible. As for "Too Many Memories" while I like it and never skip it when it comes on I do feel as though some of the other songs we've just lost deserved Top 4 over this one. Up next at #3 is my last top 10...

Wow I knew "Harlan" was loved but I didn't expect it to win!
Sad to see my theoretical top 2 "I Came Straight to You" and "Grandpa That I Know" only just make the top 20. #robbed

"Harlan" fans can thank me for not submitting because "Tear" would've easily won instead. 😂
And that's not me saying I hate "Harlan," but #1? 🤔

the incredible "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" is our #1. I'm not sure why I didn't put this in my top 10 because it definitely belongs there but then again I'd say just about everything that made my Top 15 could have been Top 5 contenders because I love so many of these songs. I do think "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" is one of the most popular album tracks of Patty's career so it is fitting that it comes out on top. Plus this is, imo, the best version of this incredible song.
I was very surprised to see "Tear-Stained Letter" be a contender here because it has never been one of my go-to favorites. I do love the song every time it comes on when I shuffle Patty's music but it isn't one of the first I ever seek out.
Thanks to those who participated in this and in the entire series. This one has been a lot of fun for me as I just love Patty's voice and music. Wish she'd release a new album!

Even though this rankdown is too long for me to send a list, Harlan winning is the only acceptable option tbh. Her version is just stunning and a career highlight (I like it more than her most renowned singles lol).

(Side note, why is someguy tanking these incredible songs!!?!) Talk about the pot calling the kettle black for someone who ranked the great "Ships" outside of their top 40! Actually, there were a lot of random low rankings for a handful of songs which saw even myself ranking outside of the majority. One of those songs to receive a random low ranking (from ccarter1023!) was "She Never Stopped Loving Him" of which I was disappointed to see not make the top 10. I also would've guessed that "House of Cash" would have been a top 5 contender, but that too received a lone non-top 40 ranking. It's also quite funny that both myself and castleoblivion26 each ranked "When the Fallen Angels Fly" as our #1 song while the rest of the group placed it outside of their top 15. This was an easy #1 for me as it remained perched atop my list from the outset. Hard to argue with "You'll Never Leave Harlan Alive" coming out ahead as it's a great song and a Pulse favorite, but I myself probably would've preferred to see "Tear Stained Letter" win as I've always thought it would've made for a great single. I too think that had .indulgecountry submitted for this it likely would've been our winner. Thanks for the hosting duties castleoblivion26! I thoroughly enjoyed revisiting Patty's album tracks as there are so many gems amongst them.

tim - Yes maybe I underranked "She Never Stopped Loving Him". But I was very happy to see "Harlan" win this rankdown. What a great song and Patty's delivery was masterful. Thanks for hosting castleoblivion26 - I also enjoyed revisiting Patty's album cuts.
