1. What is going to be #1? "Slow Burn" or "Blame It on Your Heart" are my semi-random guesses.
2. What is going to be #51? One of the Xmas songs, easily.
3. Which songs will be in the top 5? The two I predicted for #1, plus "We Danced Anyway," "Love Don't Live Here," and "Famous in a Small Town."
4. Which songs will be in the bottom 5? Both Xmas songs, "Suspicious Minds," "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights," and maybe "I'll Be There."
5. Which songs will be the most polarizing? I can see "Tequila" being pretty polarizing.
6. Which songs will be the least polarizing? Probably the Xmas songs at the bottom, lol.
7. Out of Martina's album series #2s, which will do the best? Which will do worst? (This One's For The Girls, I'll Be There, That's The Thing About Love, Make Me Believe, My Baby Loves Me, Suspicious Minds) Best: My Baby Loves Me | Worst: Suspicious Minds
8. Out of Jo Dee's album series #2s, which will do the best? Which will do worst? (That's The Way, Downtime, It's Too Late To Worry, Think About Us, Love On A Maybe, Sleigh Ride, I Wish, It Gets Better) Best: It's Too Late to Worry | Worst: Sleigh Ride
9. Out of Ashley Monroe's album series #2s, which will do the best? Worst? (If Love Was Fair, Like A Rose, Hard On A Heart) Best: Like a Rose | Worst: Hard on a Heart
10. Out of George Strait's album series #2s, which will do the best? Worst? (If You're Thinking You Want A Stranger, Take Me To Texas, Give It All We Got Tonight, That's What Breaking Hearts Do, Poison, Let's Fall To Pieces Together, The Cowboy Rides Away, Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, I Gotta Get To You) Best: Give It All We Got Tonight | Worst: Stranger
11. Out of Patty Loveless' album series #2s, which will do the best? Worst? (Christmas Time's A Comin', Lonely Days Lonely Nights) Best: Lonely Days | Worst: Christmas
12. This album features two Christmas songs. Where will each of them place? (Jo Dee's "Sleigh Ride", and Patty's "Christmas Time's A Comin'") They'll be the bottom 2, lol.
13. Which year-end rankdown #2 will do the best? Worst? (Miranda Lambert "Famous In A Small Town", Patty Loveless "Blame It On Your Heart", Brooks & Dunn "Red Dirt Road", Dan + Shay "Tequila", George Strait "Run") Best: Patty | Worst: Dan + Shay
14. Which album track will do the best? Worst? (Ashley Monroe "Hard On A Heart", Martina McBride "I'll Be There", Ashley Monroe "If Love Was Fair", Carly Pearce "If My Name Was Whiskey", Jo Dee Messina "It Gets Better", Jo Dee Messina "Love On A Maybe", Martina McBride "Make Me Believe", George Strait "Poison", Martina McBride "Suspicious Minds", George Strait "Take Me To Texas", Martina McBride "That's The Thing About Love", George Strait "That's What Breaking Hearts Do", Jo Dee Messina "Think About Us", or Carrie Underwood "Wine After Whiskey") Best: It Gets Better | Worst: Suspicious Minds
15. Where will Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" finish? I think it has a shot at #1. If not, top 5 seems very likely.
16. Jo Dee Messina won the last Revenge of the Best rankdown with "Bye Bye"! This time, she has EIGHT songs! Does she have a shot of winning this thing yet again, just like Sara managed to two-peat the BotB rankdowns?! I don't think she does because her best songs here are album cuts and I think they'll suffer against some of the hits with bigger name recognition.

Sorry for the delay, folks! I just entered the very last lists tonight, but there are a couple issues that need to be resolved before I can start. If anybody else has any more predictions, feel free to do so! I will begin this tomorrow night once I have heard back from the handful of people I had to send messages to :)

"Christmas Time's A Comin'" was the OBVIOUS last place for this rankdown. It occupied last place without competition for the entire submission process, except for the very first list when my floppy ass put it at #50 because there is a non-Christmas song I like less...
Anyway, this song is catchy, and has nice harmonies. That's about all it has going for it. In terms of my Christmas music preferences, I am pretty much guaranteed to go for something orchestral and big before I choose something that is bluegrass and stripped down. I do like Patty's voice, but this song clearly didn't fit in in a rankdown like this.

SURPRISE!!!!!! We finish saying goodbye to the Christmas songs in the bottom 2!!! Who could have predicted this might happen??! In all seriousness, compared to last year where an argument could have been made for Martina's Christmas songs to avoid the bottom 2 of RotB (Seriously, her version of "O Holy Night" is WAAAAAY too iconic to be treated like y'all treated it!!!), this time around the Christmas songs are OBVIOUSLY the songs that deserved bottom 2 the most. They both had the smallest standard deviations of the rankdown, and didn't have a snowball's chance in hell of escaping the bottom 2. However, Jo Dee did manage to kick Patty's ass by nearly 70 points, which is absolutely astounding considering these are both Christmas songs we are talking about here! The next song, aka the first real song to leave us, trounced Jo Dee by over 120 points... Talk about raising the stakes!

Despite someguy's best efforts by putting this in his top 3, this song only managed to get two top-half rankings in addition to his, from myself and Sambalada... It was in the bottom 5 for nearly the entire submission process, and settled comfortably in the bottom 3 right behind the Christmas songs for a significant span of time.

An okay start. I expected "Let's Fall To Pieces" to be a little higher but he oddly doesn't do all that well in these rankdowns.

Dadgummit I missed coming back around to this to get my predictions in because the bookmark I set for this was gone thanks to Pulse's April Fool's joke ... so even though you've already revealed four of the bottom 5 songs I'm going to answer the questions anyways! 1. What is going to be #1? I'm going to guess it'll come down to "A Little Past Little Rock", "Run", or "Blame It On Your Heart". 2. What is going to be #51? I would've guessed one of the two Christmas songs 3. Which songs will be in the top 5? "A Little Past Little Rock", "Run", "Blame It On Your Heart", "She's Not the Cheatin' Kind", and "We Danced Anyway" 4. Which songs will be in the bottom 5? I would've guessed both of the Christmas songs as well as "Suspicious Minds" which ended up being eliminated..the other two songs would've gone to "I'll Be There" and "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" 5. Which songs will be the most polarizing? "Springsteen", "I Wish", and "Red Dirt Road" 6. Which songs will be the least polarizing? Most of the songs I previously mentioned being in the top 5 7. Out of Martina's album series #2s, which will do the best? "My Baby Loves Me" Worst? "Suspicious Minds" 8. Out of Jo Dee's album series #2s, which will do the best? "That's The Way" Worst? "Sleigh Ride" 9. Out of Ashley Monroe's album series #2s, which will do the best? "Like a Rose" Worst? "If Love Was Fair" 10. Out of George Strait's album series #2s, which will do the best? "Fool Hearted Memory" Worst? Would've guessed something like "Poison" but it ended up being "Let's Fall To Pieces Together" 11. Out of Patty Loveless' album series #2s, which will do the best? "Lonely Days Lonely Nights" Worst? "Christmas Time's A Comin'" 12. This album features two Christmas songs. Where will each of them place? Would've gussed bottom five for both 13. Which year-end rankdown #2 will do the best? "Blame It On Your Heart" or "Run" Worst? "Red Dirt Road" or "Tequila" 14. Which album track will do the best? Worst? It ended up being "Suspicious Minds" and I would've guessed that or "I'll Be There" (Ashley Monroe "Hard On A Heart", Martina McBride "I'll Be There", Ashley Monroe "If Love Was Fair", Carly Pearce "If My Name Was Whiskey", Jo Dee Messina "It Gets Better", Jo Dee Messina "Love On A Maybe", Martina McBride "Make Me Believe", George Strait "Poison", Martina McBride "Suspicious Minds", George Strait "Take Me To Texas", Martina McBride "That's The Thing About Love", George Strait "That's What Breaking Hearts Do", Jo Dee Messina "Think About Us", or Carrie Underwood "Wine After Whiskey") 15. Where will Kacey Musgraves' "Slow Burn" finish? Top 20 16. Jo Dee Messina won the last Revenge of the Best rankdown with "Bye Bye"! Does she have a shot of winning this thing yet again?! None of the eight songs she has in this rankdown is strong enough to win 17. Any other thoughts/predictions? Considering that "Let's Fall to Pieces Together" couldn't even escape the bottom 5 I'm expecting a repeat of what happened to quite a few of George's songs in the Country Rankdown Winners.

Rounding out the bottom 5, Martina continues her theme of being incapable of not being tanked with her cover album songs. "I'll Be There", the runner-up finisher in her Traditional Country covers album, leaves us shortly after "Suspicious Minds", the runner-up from her Soul/R&B covers album. Unfortunately for recordyear, that means his nearly-perfect bottom 5 prediction is not actually completely correct! However, he still loses a bottom 10, so I imagine this loss isn't going to be worth losing sleep over. This song is very catchy, and Martina can sell traditional country better than many of her pop-country peers, but unfortunately this is another case of a song just not fitting in among the current company. I was interested to see how well this one would do, but I'm glad I didn't hold my breath for anything surprising to happen.

Oh by the way, I forgot to mention that "I'll Be There" was the 3rd least polarizing song in the rankdown, and now "Lonely Days, Lonely Nights" is the 4th! Which means that, since the two Christmas songs were the least polarizing songs, we have already lost the top 4 least polarizing songs, and we are only 6 reveals in! The 5th smallest SD, however, we will not be seeing again for a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time...

An okay start. I expected "Let's Fall To Pieces" to be a little higher but he oddly doesn't do all that well in these rankdowns. Hmmm... Yes... Oddly... Would you believe me if I told you we had a ? Who's trolling?

Barely surviving the bottom 5, we have Martina McBride's 3rd loss of this rankdown! "That's The Thing About Love" was generously donated to this rankdown from her most recent album, Reckless. This song is such a breath of fresh air! The sunny uptempo melody, paired with the somewhat stripped down instrumentation, makes this a very easy listen. Without a doubt one of the songs I revisit most on her newest album I'm sad it couldn't do better here. It has a lot working against it though, being a relatively unknown song; it's basically a small fish in a pond full of big fish. castleoblivion26 , congrats on the perfect ranking! Now, your fan card has been revoked.

I guess one aspect that disappoints me about "That's The Thing About Love" is it is one of the very first recordings where it feels like Martina's voice is showing a bit of age. She still sounds great imo, but the performance feels a little more talk-singy in places than she would have released earlier in her career.

Whatever. This song rocks. But let’s not get started on Martina’s aging vocal cords.

Ruby lips hid a razor tongue, and a heart blue as glacier ice...
This song is absolutely haunting! I was so glad to see it be the highest album track in the Here For A Good Time album rankdown But God, what a floppy song to rank in your bottom 2... Wavey✨️ d3vin44 Y'all do know that two antiquated bluegrassy Christmas songs were in this rankdown right?
