1. What song(s) will be in the top 5? "A Little Bit Stronger", "Heart Like Mine", "Colder Weather", maybe both Chris Young songs "Tomorrow and "Voices", and I'd love to see "From a Table Away" in there
2. What song(s) will be in the bottom 5? "Brown Chicken Brown Cow", "A Buncha Girls", "Fake ID", "Country Boy", and "Good to Be Me" all seem as likely contenders
3. Most polarizing song(s)? "Dirt Road Anthem" is the first song that comes to mind...others might be "Mama's Song", "If I Were a Boy", "Made In America", and "Teenage Daughters"
4. One song that will surprise and finish higher than expected? "Amen" by Edens Edge and "Oh, Tonight" by Josh Abbott Band w/ Kacey Musgraves
5. One song that will finish lower than expected? Hmm hard to guess but maybe something like Sunny Sweeney's "Staying's Worse Than Leaving" or Band Perry's "You Lie"
6. Where will your #1 song finish? I'd be quite surprised if it wasn't in the top two
7. Where will your #125 song finish? I think the odds of it coming out either last or within the bottom three are quite high

1. What song(s) will be in the top 5? Don't You Wanna Stay, A Little Bit Stronger, Back to December, Heart Like Mine, Just a Kiss... Maybe Kiss Me When I'm Down over one of those others? EDIT: Oh, yeah, forgot about Tomorrow, that could be there.
2. What song(s) will be in the bottom 5? I Love You This Big, Country Girl (Shake It For Me), Brown Chicken Brown Cow, A Buncha Girls, Fake ID
3. Most polarizing song(s)? Teenage Daughters, Remind Me, Country Strong, Easy, If I Were a Boy, Tough, Mean.
4. One song that will surprise and finish higher than expected? Amen. Mama's Song, too, maybe.
5. One song that will finish lower than expected? Remind Me.
6. Where will your #1 song finish? Ideally #1, but I know many are not a fan of a person involved, so top 5-10 range may be the best it can manage.
7. Where will your #125 song finish? I mean, probably bottom 5, but maybe somewhere in the 110-20 range.

#125. Trace Adkins - "Brown Chicken Brown Cow"
Total Points: 2,535 Average: 110.2 Year Released: January 10th, 2011 Mediabase Peak: #40 Billboard Peak: #39
Rankings:
Following:
"Brown Chicken Brown Cow" was released as the second single off Trace Adkins's Cowboy's Back In Town album in January of 2011. It reached the top 40 by March. The song was written by Kenny Beard, Casey Beathard and Rivers Rutherford. A famous story Trace tells about the song is at CRS in February of 2011. He told all of radio to stop playing the song and they'll release something else cause it "ain't working." Apparently, he never told his label he planned on doing this and according to Trace, his label people's eyes "popped out of their heads" when he said that lol. No surprise this is last but I can't loathe it like some do -- it's so ridiculous it's comically fun to listen to lol. The music video might be more absurd than the song itself.

The music video is just so insane, and I have always looked at this song as a joke, and as a joke it is really great

Not terrible, but that chorus is just so under produced and neither artist sounds comfortable or relaxed, which for this type of song is needed for it to work

It's not as good as Smile, but I still really enjoy most of Uncle Kracker's work. I'm probably in the minority, but I love his voice. And while I do find Kid Rock to be quite loathsome, his part here is small enough that i don't really think about him.

“Brown Chicken Brown Cow” is a musical monstrosity and the play on words is terrible! Not surprised to see this run away with last place.
I didn’t hate the Uncle Kracker song. Nothing I would seek out, but I think second to last place for it is a bit harsh.

I also expect "Country Must Be Country Wide" and "The House Rules" to leave at anytime now.

Yeah, I can't help but enjoy "Brown Chicken Brown Cow" at least a little bit because it is clearly not a song intended to be taken seriously. It is so intentionally whimsical that I have to appreciate its whimsy at the very least. Besides, Trace's low Cs throughout this song are so impressive. Only Josh Turner could do them like that Besides, the melody isn't THAT bad, it's just over-the-top stereotypical bro-country, which is all part of the whimsy. The Uncle Kracker song, on the other hand, is trash. I'm pleased with this placement.

While I enjoy most if not all of Neal McCoy’s 90s output, I haven’t really liked anything by him since probably “I Was”. And while I take no issue with artists sharing their political views I’ve lost a lot of respect for him personally ever since “Take a Knee”. I wouldn’t doubt that some of these low rankings are attributed to this as well.

It’s literally about the football players taking a knee protesting police brutality during the national anthem which was then turned into a hot button political issue by Trump and many others. Anyways, there’s no need to go down this rabbit hole again because it serves no purpose. Suffice it to say I’d just rather listen to Neal’s 90s material over anything else he’s released since then.

Predictions for #120? It's a song that did not crack the top 20 at radio and is a solo male artist.

I * think* gardyfan was referring to "A-OK" and not "Take a Knee". Not really sure, though.
