"Hard Luck" deserved better, I love that one. Hope that "Bring My Flowers Now" and "The Wheels of Laredo" at least make Top 15, if not Top 10
This top 20 is really strong though, I really enjoyed most of these songs. Am rooting for both Tenille Arts songs to make the top 10!

taylor just a heads up, but the songwriters for "Stacy" are in the opening frame of the music video when you start it. She wrote it with Bridgette Tatum and Rob Hatch. Sad to see "Stacy" out this soon, but the others I'm not upset or surprised about. Stephanie Quayle is excellent and one of my fave newer ladies, but "Cowboy" is her weakest single for me by far. Any of her debut's three singles or her current one ("Whatcha Drinkin' 'Bout") would've been top 10 for me here, easily.

If you were able to catch the hint when I said I'm praying for y'all to be around for this set of reveals, you probably would've guessed correctly that "Good Lord" would be leaving us next. This song from Abby Anderson is really catchy but also not the absolute greatest, and is also pretty forgettable in the long run. Twelve of us put this song in our Top 20, including five Top 10s and a single Top 5.
This song was on the tail ;) of our #19 but ultimately couldn't quite catch up to it, losing out on the #19 spot by ONE point!

NOOOOOO NOT "Good Lord"!!!!! Such a fun and catchy little tune! I remember thinking it actually was going to do something at radio when it first came out hahaha how stupid am I for believing in country radio for a split second.

You, me, we had bare feet hanging off the edge Two drinks, then we lay it on back in the bed Mama don't need to know everything Some things you keep to yourself We knew that's all that we'd ever be, on the DL
But if that tailgate ever tells, I'd be the small talk of the town I'm sure I'd catch all kinds of hell for every time we laid it down In the back of that race red F-150 We get to kissing, we get to slipping off clothes, and nobody knows

This is my third perfect ranking in a row--I promise it's not rigged!! Up next at #19 is "Tailgate" by RaeLynn. Now, I've let her slip under my radar and as a result I haven't been the biggest fan of her, but I KNOW I've heard better from her. This song imo is yet another instance where it's catchy in the moment and forgettable later on. Thirteen of us had this in our Top 20, including four Top 10s, three Top 5s, and .indulgecountry's #1. Sorry to that man!

Yes, sadly, the #1 loss is mine. "Call You Names" becomes the first Tenille (and Tenille Arts) song to leave at #18. Y'all ROBBED this one. This easily deserved Top 5 in this rankdown. What an immaculate, beautiful song this is. I cried when I heard it for this rankdown. When I heard it I thought of my own mom, who (TRIGGER WARNING) I very nearly lost (I'm talking her spinal chord was two more CENTIMETERS from snapping off completely) in February when she had that horrible car accident. That event really woke me up, plunged me in cold water and taught me to tell her I love her more often and to try to spend as much time with her (she's in a nursing home at the moment so once a week visits are good enough I guess) while she's here, because I'll obviously miss her when I'm gone. It definitely clouded my judgment of this song and I was very saddened by some of the low rankings. Along with my #1, we saw thirteen additional Top 20s, including two other Top 10s, one of which was another Top 5 (sorry to you LBTrocks !)

Sadly, Jennifer Nettles leaves us next, as "I Can Do Hard Things" bows out at #17. And with that, I lose my #2 right on the heels of my #1. I would've liked to see this song at least hit the Top 15, but it got close so I can't complain too much. This song is really inspiring me during a crossroads that I feel like I'm at currently. The lyrics are hard-hitting at the moment, and as always Jennifer's voice is simply impeccable. Including myself, twelve of us put this song in our Top 20, including five Top 5s. castleoblivion26 also loses his #3 here. Sorry to you!

I love Tenille, and I absolutely love "I Hate This", but never really got into "Call You Names". Don't hate it but it's just an okay song for me...

Since just about none of y'all are here, this is the last reveal for the night!
Leaving us at #16 is Lainey Wilson's "Dirty Looks." I've only heard a few songs, but this is the third time now she's struck home for me, so I'm definitely going to be checking her out in the near future. This song is lovely and very sultry and very country and ugh I just love it. Fourteen of us put this song in the Top 20, including six Top 10s and three Top 5s. I definitely wish this would've hit Top 10 as I believe it's well-deserved.

I knew "Tailgate" would be unfairly shafted in this, but honestly it not landing in the bottom 5 is somewhat of a win imo.

I'm surprised that "The Wheels Of Laredo" has outlasted "Hard Luck" by this much.

Nothing out in the bottom five was all that surprising although I do wish Tanya’s “Hard Luck” was able to escape that fate. I initially had “If I Was a Cowboy” somewhere inside my top 15 but by the time I finished up with my final edit it landed a few spots outside of that nearer to my top 20. I can’t speak for everyone but Stephanie Quayle’s voice is certainly what held the song back for me some in the end.
Abby’s “Good Lord” never left my bottom 2 and might’ve remained in the last place position for each edit I did. There’s nothing I can find to say that I liked about the song as the pop leaning production really isn’t my cup of tea.
I really want to like “Call You Names” and I thought it might grow on me a bit since this was the first time I’ve revisited it since 2019’s year-end rankdown, but alas something about the song doesn’t work for me. Mostly though I think I just find it to be rather unmemorable overall.
“I Can Do Hard Things” is an amazing song and one of Jennifer Nettle’s best as a solo artist, so I’m disappointed that it left this soon because at a minimum it deserved a top 15 showing.
“Dirty Looks” was a discovery for me and was within my top 15 for the first two edits but I ended up swapping it out at the last minute. I really like it, though, and enjoyed the sultry rhythm of the lyrics and production.

Aww man, I wasn’t expecting too much better than this, but it still feels too soon! Caroline Jones has such a pleasant voice. The texture is so light and bright, and almost flute-like. I have not always enjoyed her output as much as I enjoy her voice, but “Chasin’ Me” is the complete package to me. I look forward to the rest of her career!
