Well here we are, one more day!!!!!!!
But honestly, we should have twice this many lists by now. Y'all are in quarantine and literally are not allowed to leave the house for leisure. Get it together!

Well...this is a ballad-heavy album, so... But honestly, we should have twice this many lists by now. Y'all are in quarantine and literally are not allowed to leave the house for leisure. Get it together! By that logic, I would've been all caught up on my rankdowns by now and would've had '91 up and runnin' by this point. Remember that I'm able to work from home (although I feel sorry for those who aren't able to do so and those who got laid off). The hopeless optimist in me thinks we might be able to return to some form of normalcy around Memorial Day.

Oop, Troublemaker you sent this while I was typing the closed post, so I didn't see it! I will still take yours if you can get it to me soon, cause I haven't made the graphs or anything yet :) I'll plan to start reveals tonight!

1) What will be #1? "The Heart Won't Lie"
2) What will be #10? "Baby's Gone Blues"
3) Which songs will be in the top 5? "The Heart Won't Lie," "Take It Back," the title track, "Lighter Shade of Blue," and I hope "He Wants To Get Married" makes it to the Top 5 as well.
4) What song will be most polarizing? Probably "He Wants To Get Married" or maybe even the title track Least polarizing? "Take It Back" or "The Heart Won't Lie"
5) Which of the singles will place highest? Where will it place? See my answer to #1
6) Which of the singles will place lowest? the title track Where will it place? Probably at like #3 or #4
7) What will be the highest-placing album track? Hopefully "He Wants To Get Married" Where will it place? Hopefully in the Top 5
8) Any other thoughts/predictions? "He Wants To Get Married" is one hell of a song. All of the things that this woman observes the man wanting to do, such as getting married and starting a family...but not with her. And that's not even revealed until literally the last second, twisting it into a powerful gut-punch and taking the song from slower love song to a heartbreaking ballad. My jaw literally dropped at that. Reba's story songs are some of the absolute best of anybody's careers.

1) What will be #1? "The Heart Won't Lie"
2) What will be #10? "Baby's Gone Blues"
3) Which songs will be in the top 5? "The Heart Won't Lie" is a lock and I'll also guess the other two singles "It's Your Call" and "Take It Back" will be in there as well...which leaves two open spots for album tracks. I'm hoping one of the two will be "Will He Ever Go Away" while the other will likely be "One Last Good Hand".
4) What song will be most polarizing? "Take It Back" Least polarizing? "The Heart Won't Lie"
5) Which of the singles will place highest? Where will it place? "The Heart Won't Lie" for the win
6) Which of the singles will place lowest? Where will it place? Considering both "Take It Back" and "It's Your Call" finished relatively close in her artist rankdown I think it could go either way with one of them finishing a spot higher than the other this time around. I still wouldn't be surprised to see them both in the top three or four, however.
7) What will be the highest-placing album track? Where will it place? Going to go with "One Last Good Hand" in the top four
8) Any other thoughts/predictions? Other than "The Heart Won't Lie" this isn't really an album I revisit much. That isn't to say it's a bad album, but it was probably one of her weakest ones from the '90s. It was also going to be a tall order for anything to follow up on the heels of For My Broken Heart.

3) Which songs will be in the top 5? The singles, "One Last Good Hand", "Lighter Shade Of Blue"
4) What song will be most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most - "Take It Back"; Least - "The Heart Won't Lie" (high); "Baby's Gone Blues" (low)
5) Which of the singles will place highest? Where will it place? (Take It Back, The Heart Won't Lie, It's Your Call) "The Heart Won't Lie" - #1
6) Which of the singles will place lowest? Where will it place? "Take It Back" - #3
7) What will be the highest-placing album track? Where will it place? "One Last Good Hand" - #4
8) Any other thoughts/predictions? This album is really good, and a favourite of mine, but it unfortunately is overshadowed by so many of her other 90s albums. It also had the unfortunate timing of getting sandwiched in between For My Broken Heart and Read My Mind, so of course anything else would pale in comparison. It is a really solid album though, and probably in my top 10 favourite albums of Reba's (which, in a career like hers, is saying a lot for me).

"Baby's Gone Blues" leaves us first, thanks to a last place rank from literally HALF the participants, however ClevelandRox 's #2 and SHOOTER 's #3 both get swept away in the process. I knew this song tends to get an unusual amount of hate, but tbh I was shocked to see it be so nearly unanimous! Nothing else on this album was ever at risk of being in last place. And tbh, I don't get it. This song has a very smooth melody, with a moody arrangement, and Reba's voice perfectly wrings out the emotions in this song. This song was also sang by Patty Loveless, and her version made it up to #7 in her If My Heart Had Windows album rankdown. Imo it's a shame that one managed to do so much better because imo Reba's version shits all over Patty's (even though I enjoy both of them). However, I think this also speaks to the relative strength of this Reba album in comparison to Patty's, because from what I remember I was quite underwhelmed by IMHHW... Lol

Lol I disagree Reba’s voice doesn’t fit the key this song. The melody is so monotonous. As far as Patty. I hate the song itself due to the melody. But Patty’s voice at least fits the key. I ranked her version at #10 as well.
