In direct contrast to "Poison", "I Gotta Get To You" is a catchy, lighthearted song from Modern George. It sounds just like something Classic George would have put out back in the '90s or early '00s ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif) This one was a huge hit, but not quite remembered among his all-time bests. I was impressed when it managed to finish at #2 in its album rankdown, because it only made it to #76 in the George Strait singles rankdown! Coming up at #42, we have the first #1 loss of the rankdown!!!

Poison is a nice little change in tune from George.
I hope it is not my #1 (which should be obvious lol)

Boom! Boom! Boom! The George Strait songs continue to fall like dominos... This time the song to fall victim to the George Strait tankage is "That's What Breaking Hearts Do", a song that is pretty widely regarded to be a big missed single opportunity for him... Can you imagine if this song had been released to radio instead of "I Believe", right after he got his 60th #1 hit with "Give It All We Got Tonight" and then announced his retirement tour?! I think the final years of his radio relevancy would have looked a whole lot different! Really though, the entire Love Is Everything album was just dripping in hit potential... Between this song, "Sitting On The Fence", "When Love Comes Around Again", "When The Credits Roll", etc. there are at least a handful of songs that could have been more successful on radio than "I Believe"... I am sad this song could not do a better job here. Right after losing his #3, George Strait Junkie becomes the first victim to lose his #1! Myself as the second-highest ranker almost lost a top 10.

Right on the heels of our first #1 loss, we immediately experience our second #1 loss as well! This time it is ClevelandRox who needs condolences. However, this is also George Strait Junkie's perfect vindication for having to lose his #1 so early, because now he loses his #51! ![:smokingdiva:](http://i.imgur.com/t6wcd.jpg) Congratulations, man! This song saw a grand total of FOUR last-place ranks, from myself, recordyear, and LBTrocks in addition to George Strait Junkie. I don't dislike "Tequila" by any stretch of the imagination. But in a list this strong, it just does not stack up favorably for me. Plus I am irked by it because a lot of the people who love it always act like it is the greatest gift God ever gave to man, which is just plain wrong. It should have never finished in the top 2 of a whole entire year-end rankdown...

I am going to pause there for the night! But I plan to resume this tomorrow :)
By the way, sorry I have been slacking on this one the last couple weeks. For those who didn't see in the Reba album rankdown, last week was our last week of the school year, so I have been working hard trying to successfully finish my first year of teaching! And it looks like I have made it through! So now I will be much more consistent with the rankdowns I am hosting :)

I'm just completely lost on Dan + Shay. Not a fan of their vocals or music. Surprised to see three other 51 rankings for "Tequila" tho lol.

castleoblivion26 , congrats on the perfect ranking! Now, your fan card has been revoked. ![:cold:](http://i.imgur.com/I0dmphF.gif) lmao meh, I have never really loved this song though to be honest I only really dislike my #51. My 48 to 43 are all songs I feel that way about.

I think George Strait would do a lot better in these rankdowns if he didn't have like 1/5th of the songs. If it was just 1 or 2 universally liked George Strait songs, it'd probably fare better than people having to rank 10 of his songs from all different timeframes (including his dated 80s material) against other popular songs from other (sometimes more) popular artists. Same thing has been happening to Martina in these rankdowns too.

I agree about the over saturation. George (and Martina) do well when they have a song or two in a RD, but when there are 5-6, its easier for them to be tanked.
Nothing surprising here yet, other than Tequila was rather low IMO.

George Strait is great and all. But, if the songs I heard for these RDs are any indication, I'm definitely not aching to hear the rest of Love Is Everything or Twang any time soon. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Rankdown's going a lot better for me than BOTB 2 so far. Maybe I won't be the lowest rank on the winner this time? Fingers crossed.

"I Wish" is one of my all-time favorite Jo Dee vocal performances... She absolutely nails this song! The key change in the middle of the second chorus, the epic climax in the bridge; it's all so perfect!

"Make Me Believe" is one of my favorite album tracks from Martina, so I was thrilled that it ended up being one of those rare album tracks that is able to shove its way past a bunch of the singles to make it into the top 2 of its album rankdown! This song is so catchy, Martina's vocal performance slays like usual, and I love the dark, haunting vibe that comes from the intermittent background vocal riffs throughout the song. Not to mention that those same background vocal riffs really show off Martina's low range, which is criminally underrated because people always get hung up on her ability to belt ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif)
