I am hoping people to tank the obvious and largely uninteresting hits like Two of a Kind, The Thunder Rolls, Friends In Low Places and others that I don't know why got so popular. I do think Sevens is his best album. And I hope the worst ranking songs are all from his last two studio albums :) Sevens is phenomenal. We'll see how it does :)

Lol Well, I judge songs on a case by case basis, and several of his singles, turn out to be dull songs.

1. What will be top 5? “The Dance”, “That Summer”, “Ain’t Going Down (’Til The Sun Comes Up)”, “If Tomorrow Never Comes”, “The Beaches of Cheyenne” 2. What will be bottom 5? “Hard Luck Woman”, “Workin’ for a Livin’”, “Lost In You”, “The Fever”, and maybe “Midnight Sun” or “Beer Run” 3. What non-studio album track will be highest? “To Make You Feel My Love” Which will be the lowest? “Working’ For a Livin’” or “Hard Luck Woman” 4. Which Trisha duet will be the highest/lowest? “In Another’s Eyes” / “The Call” or “Love Will Always Win” 5. Which studio album will last the longest? Garth Brooks Which will be eliminated first? I assume it’ll be Fun (and what a horrible choice for an album name Garth…) 6. Which decade will the #1 song be from? 90’s 7. Which decade will the #61 song be from? 1994, 1995, or 2007 specifically 8. Anything else? I honestly have a lot of childhood memories from Garth including his This Is Garth Brooks from Dallas in 1991 that was broadcast on television which was then later followed by his This Is Garth Brooks, Too! television concert in 1994. This is an artist that for better or worse has been right alongside me while I grew up with country music and he no doubt had an early influence on me. Lastly...I'm shocked .indulgecountry didn't participate I tell you!

#60 - "Workin' For A Livin'"Billboard Country Airplay peak: #19 Highest Ranking: #40 austin TroublemakerLowest Ranking : #61 someguy tim toomuchboyTotal Points: 897 Average Rank: 49.833 austin – 40 Troublemaker - 40 bboat11 – 43 kw9461 - 43 Kanenrá:ke – 45 sabre14 – 46 Andy - 46 @xfer - 47 George Strait Junkie - 48 Cody Wants Out... - 48 Glove Slap - 50 CoJoFan - 51 castleoblivion26 – 53 gardyfan - 54 collinkottke - 60 someguy – 61 tim - 61 toomuchboy – 61 Our second loss is another cover song. This time, we say goodbye to Garth's collaboration with Huey Lewis, who originally recorded the song. This is another one that seemed to hang around the bottom for the entire submission process. Released in 2008 as the follow up to his first #1 in nearly a decade, "More Than A Memory", "Workin' For A Livin'" reached #19. I always forget that it was that big of a hit. Had it not followed a huge #1, I doubt that it would have fared as well. It never really seemed like a good single choice to me, but there wasn't much to choose from on The Ultimate Hits.

This is one of the most boring songs I've heard on country radio of the past few years. Horrible pick for a single.

Argh, I understand the Chris Gaines album was a shock or whatever, but the music in it is pretty good, great even. Lost In You deserved MUCH better.

I think you may have mistyped my ranks because I ranked "Stronger Than Me" at #45

At #54, we lose our first album, as one album gets eliminated. Which one? (In The Life Of Chris Gaines, The Ultimate Hits, Man Against Machine, Gunslinger)

Hopefully Chris Gaines. “People Loving People” is my favorite song of his from the 2010’s.
