Short pre-reveal questionnaire for 747:
1) What will be in the top three?
2) What will be in the bottom four?
3) What single will be eliminated first and when?
4) What will be the most/least polarizing song?
5) Guess what the top three album tracks will be.
Goal is to start reveals tomorrow evening.

These answers are probably wildly off, lol.
1) What will be in the top three? I'd guess "Bartender", "Lie With Me", and "Long Stretch of Love".
2) What will be in the bottom four? "Freestyle", "Slow Rollin", "Damn You Seventeen", "All Nighter"
3) What single will be eliminated first and when? "Freestyle", probably at last place.
4) What will be the most/least polarizing song? Most: maybe "Long Stretch of Love"? Least: "Lie with Me"
5) Guess what the top three album tracks will be. 1. Lie with Me 2. She Is 3. 747

Yeah, I'm sure we all saw this coming... ;)
"Freestyle", one of the weakest performing singles of their career (and also a total momentum killer to boot!) leaves first with nearly all of us putting it in out bottom two, including six perfect rankings.
Fun fact: surprisingly, "Freestyle" was not the only runaway last-place contender in this rankdown. This next song coming up saved it from doing so by having two top five ranks, including one of my own! :'(

P.S. Major apologies for the massive delay in reveals for this album. I didn't anticipate a deluxe edition of Ocean and On This Winter's Night arriving last fall, which threw me for quite a few loops.
I should have this current album completely revealed by the end of the week at the very latest.

With just a little bit more support (outside the bottom two, that is), our first bonus track, "Slow Rollin'", comes in at #13. At times, this narrowly dodged "Freestyle" for last place.
"Slow Rollin'" was initially recorded by Canadian country singer Dallas Smith and released to country radio there, peaking at #5 just in time for the summer!
Here's his version, just in case anyone's interested!

Aww! This one hurts you guys! :'( I'll admit to being a tad overzealous with "Slow Rollin'", but I Lady A's recording of "All Nighter" and almost plum near forgot that Dan + Shay later recorded this song for their sophomore album Obsessed, which was released in the summer of 2016. At least the number of bottom rankings are getting smaller?

"All Nighter" probably could've been a safe radio hit (as a third or fourth single) for them had the album cycle played out differently. They really had a lot of options for radio on the album, but "Freestyle" squandered all the momentum they had

You wouldn't know it from the way they mishandled this album era, namely the existence of "Freestyle" as a song let alone actually thinking that should be release to radio, but 747 is a really strong album imo. I was actually really impressed because I had largely ignored it due to the aforementioned reasons (I didn't care for "Bartender," either). So far we're off to a good start but I don't know what happens from here out. Gonna be pretty unpredictable, methinks.

I'm sorry you guys. I've been having difficulty with my laptop the last couple of days, especially today where every application I open freezes up. As soon as everything gets straightened, I'll resume reveals and try to have this wrapped up soon.
In the meantime, I can tell you that one of our most polarizing songs will be next where I lose my last-place and multiple top three ranks are gone as well.

Yeah, sorry guys. Never could get into this one, no matter how hard I tried. Luckily I wasn't alone in my potential disdain here. However, my condolences go to the five who lose a top five, including .indulgecountry and taylor who lose a #2. Next is a song that briefly spent time in the top five until a few bottom five ranks came in, where no one put it in last place...

I know this one's gotta hurt; we see our most polarizing song just diving into the top ten with "One Great Mystery", sinking two #1s from .indulgecountry and vann and three people losing a bottom three ranking. You were saying something about taylor bringing the taste with "Damn You Seventeen" .indulgecountry?

And where is your taste for "Damn You Seventeen"? If I wanted something resembling a robot, Daft Punk would be my preferred route.

"Sounded Good at the Time" honestly could've been a #1 hit. Very catchy and summery.

Alright, there were a few reasons I revealed those back-to-back: 1) Just look at how close those last three songs were in point totals! :o 2) After our most polarizing song with "One Great Mystery", we immediately see a couple of our least polarizing songs with our final remaining bonus track "Falling For You" and partially-drum-machine-backed "Sounded Good at the Time". 3) It's getting VERY late on my end and I have to tend to ten dairy goats in the morning. Have mercy on my wretched soul! P.S. Here's what remaining; feel free to guess what misses the top five: Long Stretch of Love Bartender Lie with Me Down South She Is 747

This rankdown is an absolute mess. I was already prepared to be disappointed when the mediocre "Bartender" inevitably wins it, but the best album tracks are all being punted before they can even properly give it any kind of illusion of competition.

Hi everyone. Had to struggle a bit to find an extra keyboard for my laptop, but I believe I finally got all the kinks worked out. Should be able to finish this today! :)
