I was kind of dragging my feet on this one but I just finished my first draft earlier today. I for sure should be able to have it revised down to a final list by tomorrow.

1. What will be #1? It is really hard to say!! I honestly do not see a frontrunner in this list. You can never underestimate Reba, although "Freedom" has some haters, so we'll see... Maybe something like The Pistol Annies' "I Got My Name Changed Back" could make it due to nobody really disliking it? And Miranda is ALWAYS a strong contender in multi-artist rankdowns...
2. What will be #25? "Boys Girl" is literally the ONLY choice. If that doesn't absolutely run away with it, we've failed each other.
3. Which songs will comprise the Top 5? "Freedom", "I Got My Name Changed Back", "One Night In Tulsa", "Chasin' Me", and "Give Up The Ghost" (wishful thinking on the last two :) )
4. Which songs will comprise the bottom 5? "Boys Girl", "Hard Luck", "The Wheels Of Laredo", "Stacy"... I have no idea what else. Maybe "Good Lord"?
5. Tanya Tucker scored her FIRST EVER Grammy Awards with the album While I'm Livin', with its single "Bring My Flowers Now" winning Best Country Song. How will the song do here? Top 10, I'll guess around #7.
6. Who will do better in this rankdown, the Highwomen or the Pistol Annies? The Pistol Annies. They'll probably be a top 3 contender due to The Miranda Effect, whereas The Highwomen will probably be more in the 8-12 range.
7. Which collab will go out first, "Hard Luck" or "Prove You Wrong?" "Hard Luck". Lmao Tanya's album is good on its own merits, but I highly doubt songs like "Hard Luck" are going to be very strong contenders against more polished and modern sounding songs.
8. Which song will be most polarizing? Least? Most: RaeLynn's "Tailgate", Tenille Arts' "I Hate This". Least: "Boys Girl" - Kylie Morgan (lol)
9. Tanya Tucker and Reba McEntire are the two legends in this rankdown's roster of artists. Who will fare better here? Reba, for sure. Her voice is more digestible. Her one song will run circles around Tanya's three, although Tanya's "Bring My Flowers Now" should be at least a top 10 contender.
10. Any other thoughts/predictions? Any favorite new discoveries? I have literally not stopped chanting "Give up the ghost, give up the ghost!" in my head since doing this rankdown..... I hope that song can do very well despite the fact that louder arrangements tend to turn some people off!

1. What will be #1? I really have no clue with this one. "I Hate This"? I think "Call You Names" is popular on Pulse?
2. What will be #25? I would think "Stacy," but I wouldn't say no to "Boys Girl."
3. Which songs will comprise the Top 5? "Call You Names," "I Hate This," "Freedom," "Bring My Flowers Now," "Redesigning Women"... Like the first question, I have no idea, just throwing darts in the wind. lol
4. Which songs will comprise the bottom 5? "Stacy," "Boys Girl," maybe one of the Tanya Tucker songs, possibly Raelynn (I've always heard a very vocal dislike of her on Pulse).
5. Tanya Tucker scored her FIRST EVER Grammy Awards with the album While I'm Livin', with its single "Bring My Flowers Now" winning Best Country Song. How will the song do here? Top 10.
6. Who will do better in this rankdown, the Highwomen or the Pistol Annies? Hopefully the Highwomen....
7. Which collab will go out first, "Hard Luck" or "Prove You Wrong?" "Hard Luck."
8. Which song will be most polarizing? Least? Most: Chasin' Me, Tanya Tucker's songs, Tailgate, Pistol Annies. Least: Redesigning Women, Stacy, Freedom.
9. Tanya Tucker and Reba McEntire are the two legends in this rankdown's roster of artists. Who will fare better here? I could see "Bring My Flowers Now" placing highest between the two, but "Freedom" placing much higher than Tucker's two other songs.
10. Any other thoughts/predictions? Any favorite new discoveries? Hailey Whitters for me, definitely. "If I Was a Cowboy" and "I Hate This" were songs I'm glad I've heard now.

1. What will be #1? “Got My Name Changed Back”
2. What will be #25? “Boys Girl” seems like the most obvious choice even though I didn’t dislike that one quite as much as some of you
3. Which songs will comprise the Top 5? “Got My Name Changed Back”, “One Night in Tulsa”, “Give Up the Ghost”, “Redesigning Women”, and hopefully “Bring My Flowers Now”.
4. Which songs will comprise the bottom 5? “Boys Girl”, “Tailgate”, “Good Lord”, “Hard Luck”, and probably “Wheels of Laredo” even though it shouldn’t be anywhere near the bottom 5.
5. Tanya Tucker scored her FIRST EVER Grammy Awards with the album While I'm Livin', with its single "Bring My Flowers Now" winning Best Country Song. How will the song do here? Two songs in the bottom 5 with “Bring My Flowers Now” vying for a top 5 position
6. Who will do better in this rankdown, the Highwomen or the Pistol Annies? I’d love to see both of their songs in the top 2, but either way I think the Pistol Annies will come out ahead
7. Which collab will go out first, "Hard Luck" or "Prove You Wrong?" I happen to really enjoy “Hard Luck” but no way that escapes the bottom 5, so “Prove You Wrong” will do better between the two songs
8. Which song will be most polarizing? “Good Lord” and “Tailgate” Least? “Got My Name Changed Back” and “One Night in Tulsa”
9. Tanya Tucker and Reba McEntire are the two legends in this rankdown's roster of artists. Who will fare better here? I’m going to go out on a limb and say Tanya’s “Bring My Flowers Now” will come out ahead of Reba’s “Freedom”
10. Any other thoughts/predictions? Any favorite new discoveries? “One Night in Tulsa” was by far my favorite discovery of the rankdown and I will for sure be revisiting it in the future.

So who caught the hint when I posted a gif of Kylie Jenner? :kii:
To literally nobody's surprise, "Boys Girl" by Kylie Morgan is the first song of this rankdown to leave us. We let our disdain for this song show, with a whopping 9 last place rankings. Literally only three of us put this song above our Top 20, with only two of us taking this to our Top 10.
To me, this song is okay (it's got a real nice melody at the end of the chorus) but it is also very easily forgettable...and on a rankdown like this, this proved to be a very easy weak link, as our #24 song beat "Boys Girl" out by nearly 40 points!!! With the loss of #24 we're already going to see OUR FIRST TOP 5 LOSS!!!!

"Boys Girl" was the only option for #25.
I feel like "Enough" got done dirty here, as it deserved better but it isn't among my favorites of this list so I'm not too upset to see it go

Next up at #24 is "Enough" by Rachel Wammack. This is the song that beat out "Boys Girl" by 38 points. Unlike "Boys Girl," which received overwhelming distaste, "Enough" received a much warmer reception, with 12 of us (over half) putting it in our Top 20, including samo🦕 's #5 and recordyear 's #10. Looking back, I may have underranked this song by just a bit, and I wish this could've made it into the Top 20 at least. The melody is very infectious, I love the lyrics, and Rachel's vocals are incredible! This is a song that very much should've been on the radio and climbed up the charts easily. Here's to hoping Rachel Wammack becomes a big name in the future.

Surprised I got a perfect ranking after being out of sync on "Boys Girl." Wow, that had to be the most unanimous ranking of this rankdown? lol

If I was a cowboy, I'd be on my second beer Not staring at my cellphone, stuck in the bathroom mirror And If I was a cowboy I'd just throw some blue jeans on I'd be somewhere on a dance floor, I'd already be moved on.
Cowboys don't cry Cowboys can lie to themselves And to everyone else when it's over Cowboys ain't fragile They're back in the saddle Don't wait for their heart to unbreak

Stephanie Quayle rounds out the bottom 3 as we say goodbye to "If I Was A Cowboy," which beat out "Enough" by only 10 points. This reveal also saw over half of us keep the song in our Top 20, with only one Top 5 rank courtesy of toomuchboy . Personally, I didn't like this song too much at all and I feel like I've heard better from Stephanie.

Next up is the first of two collabs! Tanya Tucker takes a hit as "Hard Luck" ft. Brandi Carlile and Shooter Jennings bows out at #22. This song saw Top 20 support from 14 of us (an overwhelming majority), including four Top 10s and a Top 5 from someguy. Tanya is a legend and this song is pretty good but I definitely don't like it as much as some of the others on its parent album, one of which is still in the running in this rankdown.

I personally found it hilarious that the description for the Spotify playlist said "25 incredible songs by female artists that for some strange and sexist reason got shafted by country radio" and then the first song on the playlist ("Boys Girl") was by far the worst song in the playlist and was not incredible at all. Thankfully the rest of the playlist was much better.

Damn, that "Boys Girls" numbers were harsh lol As one of the two people who gave it the best rating, don't judge me, but I thought it was a fun song, I liked hearing it. I know from a lyrics staindpoint it's far from the best, but especially not having english as my first language, most of the times it's not what makes it or break it a song for me.
But I'm completely okay with that leaving first, just don't wanna lose my top3 soon!
Edit: Yeah, I liked "Stacy" way better and I wish it was at least top15. It was one of my favorites discoveries.

Bowing out next is "Stacy" by Gretchen Wilson. This song saw three last place rankings as well as ten Top 20 placements, including six Top 10s and three Top 5s. Sorry to George Strait Junkie who loses his #3! I also picked up a perfect ranking Same old song and dance--the song is okay, but not as good as a lot of others on this list. The music video makes me cackle!

I feel disgusting for giving "Boys Girl" a top 10 ranking but I met Kylie last year and she was the sweetest person ever. Also, as bad as that song is compared to most of these songs, it’s still better than 90% of what the males have been putting out in the past ten years or so. 🤷🏻♂️
