After we finished ranking every country rankdown winner last summer, we also had an opportunity to rank every Country song that had finished at #2, to see which one would be able to claim the ultimate revenge and end up becoming a rankdown winner. In the end, Jo Dee Messina's "Bye Bye" saw a triumphant victory, which was such a perfect finish after seeing that song get stuck at #2 on THREE separate occasions... behind the same song!! Last year I felt like this rankdown got drawn out way too much, because it did not start until Best of the Best had completely ended. By the time the first Revenge one started, we had already finished like a dozen new rankdowns, but I used the same timeline as the first BotB rankdown to make the list, so it all just felt oddly out of sequence. That is why, this year, I am opening it at the same time as the Best of the Best rankdown. This one will be due about 2-3 weeks later, so people should definitely prioritize BotB, but I still wanted to get the song lists out there so people can start working on both if they would like to. Here is the song list:
1. Why'd You Come In Here Lookin' Like That - Dolly Parton 2. Downtime - Jo Dee Messina 3. That's The Way - Jo Dee Messina 4. Mud On The Tires - Brad Paisley 5. This One's For The Girls - Martina McBride 6. So Small - Carrie Underwood 7. It's Too Late To Worry - Jo Dee Messina 8. Wine After Whiskey - Carrie Underwood 9. Famous In A Small Town - Miranda Lambert 10. I'll Be There - Martina McBride 11. Road Less Traveled - Lauren Alaina 12. If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home) - George Strait 13. Blame It On Your Heart - Patty Loveless 14. Think About Us - Jo Dee Messina 15. Springsteen - Eric Church 16. Take Me To Texas - George Strait 17. If My Name Was Whiskey - Carly Pearce 18. That's The Thing About Love - Martina McBride 19. Better Dig Two - The Band Perry 20. Something To Be Proud Of - Montgomery Gentry 21. She's Not The Cheatin' Kind - Brooks & Dunn 22. My Baby Loves Me - Martina McBride 23. If Love Was Fair - Ashley Monroe 24. Love On A Maybe - Jo Dee Messina 25. Red Dirt Road - Brooks & Dunn 26. Make Me Believe - Martina McBride 27. Fool Hearted Memory - George Strait 28. Sleigh Ride - Jo Dee Messina 29. Give It All We Got Tonight - George Strait 30. That's What Breaking Hearts Do - George Strait 31. Christmas Time's A Comin' - Patty Loveless 32. Like A Rose - Ashley Monroe 33. Forever And Ever, Amen - Randy Travis 34. We Danced Anyway - Deana Carter 35. Poison - George Strait 36. Let's Fall To Pieces Together - George Strait 37. Little Good-Byes - SHeDAISY 38. I Wish - Jo Dee Messina 39. Tequila - Dan + Shay 40. Run - George Strait 41. Slow Burn - Kacey Musgraves 42. Lonely Days, Lonely Nights - Patty Loveless 43. Suspicious Minds - Martina McBride 44. A Little Past Little Rock - Lee Ann Womack 45. The Cowboy Rides Away - George Strait 46. Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind - George Strait 47. Love Don't Live Here - Lady Antebellum 48. I Gotta Get To You - George Strait 49. Hard On A Heart - Ashley Monroe 50. He Gets That From Me - Reba McEntire 51. It Gets Better - Jo Dee Messina
I know this is a lot, with Best of the Best being open at the same time. So I will be giving you more time for this one. Plan on Sunday, May 12th as a tentative deadline for this one, depending on whether people have had time to do it by then and whether I am done with the Best of the Best revels yet or not As per usual, PM me your lists, with #1 being your favorite and #51 being your least favorite! I am super stoked to see which of these fantastic songs can get its ultimate revenge
Final Results: 51. "Christmas Time's A Comin'" - Patty Loveless 50. "Sleigh Ride" - Jo Dee Messina 49. "Suspicious Minds" - Martina McBride 48. "Let's Fall To Pieces Together" - George Strait 47. "I'll Be There" - Martina McBride 46. "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" - Patty Loveless 45. "That's The Thing About Love" - Martina McBride 44. "Poison" - George Strait 43. "I Gotta Get To You" - George Strait 42. "That's What Breaking Hearts Do" - George Strait 41. "Tequila" - Dan + Shay 40. "Take Me To Texas" - George Strait 39. "I Wish" - Jo Dee Messina 38. "Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind" - George Strait 37. "Make Me Believe" - Martina McBride 36. "Give It All We Got Tonight" - George Strait 35. "If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger (There's One Coming Home)" - George Strait 34. "So Small" - Carrie Underwood 33. "Hard On A Heart" - Ashley Monroe 32. "Love On A Maybe" - Jo Dee Messina 31.

YouTube links for all songs have been uploaded to the first post. All songs should be available on streaming services if you prefer to look for them that way :)

Going to start working on this one soon! Is there another one too? For the #1s? I can’t remember and just want to make sure I’m not overlooking it somehow

Wow, I haven't done a single reminder post for this one yet, and there are already a handful of submissions! So let's go ahead and do one now :) There are currently about 2 1/2 weeks left to get this one done. Which is SO much time!!!! But don't forget that the Best of the Best rankdown is due in less than a week (linked above by singingrulebritannia), so if you want to participate in both, you should definitely prioritize that one :)

Can I please have a little extension for this one? Absolutely! The deadline may have passed, but of course this one isn't going to start until I finish the #1s rankdown... So you've still got probably at least a week :)

Well, the 26th is out the window now... My internet has not been working! If anyone would still like to submit for this one, you are still welcome to do so! At this point I probably won't be able to close this one until sometime the first week of June.

Kind of want to do this just to see if I can redeem the shipwreck that was my closeness in the winner's game. I'll start trying to work through the playlist and cooking something up tomorrow. If I'm not in by the deadline though don't wait for me

If I'm not in by the deadline though don't wait for me Well luckily it didn't come to this, since I was able to finish in one day lol. Instead of ratings for this post, I was going to compare each #2 to its respective #1 (in private, of course; not saying anything specific about rankings) and count up how many of the #2s I liked better. But I couldn't find a full list of what each rankdown's top 2 was, and I don't feel like opening an assload of tabs for the threads to lay them all out right now, so it'll have to wait

Everything for this second Best of the Best/Revenge of the Best series started at #58, with the 80s Ladies rankdown. It stops after #114, the Jo Dee Messina album tracks rankdown :) Anything that has happened since that point will be in the eventual 3rd #1s/#2s rankdowns!

I think I had found a spreadsheet but it only went up to about rankdown #67 or something, so after that I was lost. Once I get back home I'll post the personal stats I was intending to post using this.

I have a spreadsheet on my own computer that I use, so I always forget to update the online version. Your request inspired me to finally copy/paste all the new info so you could see it 😂

I agree with the #1: 24 (5 were previous winners) I liked the #2 more: 16 (1 was a previous winner) Can't decide; a draw: 6 In two cases I thought one of the #2s should've won but the other is equal to the #1 In another case one #1 is better than the #2 but the others are roughly equal to the #2
