so at this point only bboat11 has lost their #1! Well starting at #4 someone will be losing a #1 as all remaining songs have #1 rankings! 2 singles vs 2 album tracks, what will be next to go?

A little disappointed to see this song get tanked by so many people, but at least it beat the mediocre "I Did"... I love the way this song launches into the chorus. That pregnant pause, followed by the belted "After AAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLL" is definitely an iconic moment on this album! Not to mention the way Patty pushed her vocal range in the bridge and 3rd chorus. She would never have done that during the popular years of her career, after her vocal chord surgery lowered her voice a bit!

Also, I have no idea what is left... I know it is two album tracks and "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights". I still see LDLN winning, but I am pleasantly surprised to see it joined in the top 3 with multiple album tracks!

I'd love to see "Slow Healing Heart" in the top 2 :) The way that chorus builds really stood out to me! Definitely sounded like a song that had a lot of hit potential compared to most of the album.

There you have it! The album track "Half Over You" is the #1 song! What is interesting is that "Slow Healing Heart" and "Half Over You" were the two #1 contendors for the entire submission period! None of the singles ever really contended.
Thank you everyone for participating! I will have the next album posted soon so be ready for it!

YAS! “Half Over You” is such a great song and is one of the few on this that sounds like it could go right along with any one of her albums from the mid 90’s.

The top 2 were both great so even though my #1 ("Lonely Days, Lonely Nights") came up just short, "Half Over You" was great too and it's fun to see an album track winning as that is a rather rare feat in album series rankdowns.
"Slow Healing Heart" is a great song as well but I prefer Dolly Parton's version, though Patty's is also very good.

Lmao I really had no clue what to expect from this rankdown, and I was definitely surprised along the way! "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" being near the top is probably the only thing about this rankdown that didn't really surprise me. Never in a million years would have pegged "Half Over You" to not only be the winner, but to also control the top for basically the entire submission process! It is a great song, and I probably underranked it. It's just that the melody tends to plod a bit. If there had been an album track winner I would have preferred it was "Slow Healing Heart".
I look forward to the next album! I also look forward to getting these older albums out of the way, so we can start getting to the parts of her career that were so renowned and acclaimed. I have a feeling they are basically all going to get even better as we go!

Thanks for the reminder! I do all of my rankdowns with playlists I create using Apple Music so the fact that this album is all but missing from any streaming services might hinder the turnout. I’ll for sure knock this one out before the deadline.

What song will be #1?
One of the successful singles most likely.
What songs will make up the Top 3?
"If My Heart Had Windows", "A Little Bit In Love", "Working Man's Hands"
What song will be #10?
"So Good To Be In Love"
What songs will make up the Bottom 3?
SGTBIL, "Once In A Lifetime", "Baby's Gone Blues"
Which single will do the best? ("If My Heart Had Windows", "A Little Bit In Love", "You Saved Me")
I'm thinking ALBIL, but I think the title track can maybe give it a run.
Which single will be out first?
"You Saved Me" easily.
Any thoughts/comments about this album?
Loved this one and I personally think it's her best album from her MCA years.

What song will be #1? "If My Heart Had Windows" What songs will make up the Top 3? "If My Heart Had Windows," "A Little Bit in Love," "Fly Away" (at least I hope on the last one) What song will be #10? Hopefully "Baby's Gone Blues" What songs will make up the Bottom 3? "Baby's Gone Blues" and "Once in a Lifetime" both belong down there. The third spot is a toss-up. Which single will do the best? ("If My Heart Had Windows", "A Little Bit In Love", "You Saved Me") It'll be the title track, I'm guessing, but I can see the first two being the top 2. Which single will be out first? "You Saved Me" Any thoughts/comments about this album? Great album and "Fly Away" is easily my favorite album track discovery from her first two RDs we've done so far. I'm expecting to discover many more great deep cuts as we get further along into her stronger material from the 90s.

I mean, maybe I'm being naively optimistic, but I'm holding out hopes that "Fly Away" could be a #1 contender here! These singles have less familiarity bias than your typical singles would, so I am not ready to say that the winner will 100% be one of the singles!
