1. What will be #1? Probably "Even Though I'm Leaving" because single bias + high popularity based on the 2019 rankdown and tournament results
2. What will be #17? "Angels Workin' Overtime"
3. Which songs will be in the Top 5? Likely all 3 singles + "Refrigerator Door" and "1, 2 Many" is my guess.
4. Which song will be most polarizing? Least? Most: "Better Together" | Least: "Even Though I'm Leavin"
5. Which of the three singles ("Beer Never Broke My Heart," "Even Though I'm Leaving," "Does To Me") will place highest? Lowest? "Even Though I'm Leaving" @ #1 | "Does to Me" @ #5
6. Which album track are you hoping to see place highest? "Refrigerator Door" and "1, 2 Many" are my faves and both well-liked so I'm hoping one of those.
7. Any other thoughts/predictions? "Dear Today" sucks and I hope its bottom 5.

We're already losing a Top 5 with this one  sorry to you kw9461! We also see the loss of an additional few Top 10s while 5 people pick up perfect rankings. Many people had this in their bottom half, with quite a few bottom 3 ranks. This song, like you're going to hear me say quite a bit, is great, it's just that with an album this strong, things have to go at the bottom! Definitely not upset to see this one leave, it's one of the weaker links imo. Not to mention the album does start to blend together after awhile, and this song is a victim of that tbh. |

Yep. I knew this would be last. I'm actually surprised it got top half ranks at all, lol.

I said I wasn't comfortable with 3 songs before this rankdown. This was one of those songs.
Pretty bland lyric wise but I only thought it was better than my bottom two because I particularly enjoy the instrumental. Other than that I can completely understand this being last.
Pretty forgettable.

I would’ve cut this from the album if I were Luke.

Two perfect rankings! “Blue Collar Boys” is just such a tired subject for country music. Good melody though.

This subject isn't just for me. I live in NYC which is the antithesis of this song. That doesn't make this song bad or even mean that I can't get behind a song about a different lifestyle, but rather this song isn't inviting or even trying to be relatable.
It's just saying this is us. And then next line is about this is us. And then next one. And the next one.

Escaping last place by literally two points is "Blue Collar Boys." We have four Top 10 losses here, but nobody put this in their Top 5. Darkest Hour , lady𝓐fan and I pick up perfect rankings while castleoblivion26 and SwiftlySheeran quickly and gladly say goodbye to their #17. This album is great, but this is definitely one of THE weakest links on the entire thing. I don't see what you four Top 10 people see in this song; this one is incredibly bland imo and runs through country music trends that are too damn tired at this point. |

The melody of this one is pretty enjoyable and pleasant, but yeah, it's nothing new or fresh lyrically.

It's just saying this is us. And then next line is about this is us. And then next one. And the next one. Hey, at least it didn't go full-on All About That Bass and start attacking city folk. Lmao you got me there. I just love to look at the lyrics at if it wasn't a song or seems like a list of things that describe who you are for a dating profile. I much more appreciate story. You can have lists. But list it in a way where you find connection between the verses. Think Better Together and how the chorus describes a cup of coffee in the sunrise. Yet, when we get to the second verse we find out it is his lover than loves the coffee so much that she has stained every cup. That tells a beautiful story in it of itself and really connects the rest of the song together that he believes it goes better together because she is there to truly make the memory. Don't tell me you like fixing up trucks and then just give another random detail of dogs. Sorry if it seems I'm bashing the song I really am trying not to but it's just not for me. |

And we're falling all over again Like a flashback to way back when Back when we were us Couldn't get enough But we both know how this ends. You can leave it up to me To say things that I don't mean And I'll leave it up to you To turn, "I love you" Into, "Boy, where you been?" And just like that Just as fast as we began |

Is it just me or this doesn't sound like a Luke Combs song? It fits instrument wise but the lyrics almost sound like a Sam Hunt song lmao.
I'm telling you. Read the lyrics and just picture it. Grady Smith and I think way too alike!

The person who loses their #1 here is born. Sorry to this man! He's joined by 6 other people who put "All Over Again" in their Top 10, one of whom put it in their Top 5. gardyfan Darkest Hour and kw9461 all say goodbye to their #17 here while I'm the only one to score a perfect ranking. This song is okay but one of the weaker links on an album as strong as this. I might have underranked it a tiny bit but I still can't see this ever being in my Top 10. |
