Aw taylor I forgot to do this one... Can you tag me for these last few reveals Oh, now you realize reveals were going on! Lol Anyways, leaving first tonight at #15 is "Chasin' Me" by Caroline Jones. Now, I consider myself a bit of a hopeless romantic so you'd think I'd love this song as it'd be right up my alley, but alas, a couple things just don't work for me. I couldn't really get into Caroline's voice, and the production got a wee bit boring after awhile. I definitely love the sentiment of the song tho! With this reveal, we see twelve Top 20s, including four Top 5s. bboat11 and samođŠ are the unlucky ones who have to say goodbye to their #1. Sorry to those people! The #1 losses are going to become more frequent now that we're in the Top 15--someone else's is coming up next!!!

I really adore "Chasin' Me" and find it to be an all around infectious song. And while I'm glad to see it make the top 15 in no way was this deserving of a bottom 5 from anyone let alone a bottom two...looking at our host cough cough ![:oprahsuspicion:](https://i.imgur.com/ksYKoO2.gif)

Oh yeah, since it looks like Carrie and I tanked each otherâs #1s... I should make a comment about âI Called You Namesâ. Tenille Arts is one of my favorites too đ âI Hate Thisâ was actually my #1 on my first edition of this list that I submitted to g8erboi, until âChasinâ Meâ grew on me!
Unfortunately ICYN is probably my least favorite song from her so far. The lyrics are fantastic, but the melody seems kinda boring, and has not gotten any more engaging with repeat listens.

I think that's why I feel the song is just rather unmemorable for me as well. I really want to like the song because lyrically it's pretty good, but when it comes to the melody it just escapes my mind and by the time the song is over I've already forgotten how it goes.

Sing a song about the...oh wait wrong song. "Heartland" really grew on me the more I listened to it as I really enjoyed the clever writing. This is also the first time I've sat down to watch the video and really enjoyed the simplicity of it as well.

toomuchboy is the unlucky one as Hailey Whitters and her song "Heartland" bow out at #14. The vocals are just a bit grating to me towards the end, just the SLIGHTEST bit, which is ultimately what led me to hold it back from my Top 10. Everything else about the song is just great tho imo. I love the lyrics, and the delivery of the verses in particular is very catchy to me. This song was very warmly received by Pulse, as all but two of us had it in our Top 20!! That includes the two perfect rankings from bboat11 and samođŠ (who ironically BOTH just lost their #1s!) as well as five Top 10s, with the sole Top 5 being the #1.

I have always been extremely underwhelmed by Hailey Wittersâ voice. To me she is the epitome of somebody who is a songwriter but not a vocalist...
But this song blew me away!! Everything about it was quite enjoyable. Vocally, melodically, instrumentally, etc...

Speaking of Tanya...I do think that "Wheels of Laredo" is on borrowed time and am pretty much expecting it to be next or soon thereafter.

All the miles cast a long shadow I'd take a couple back if I could I'd've learned to play guitar Told my daddy more I loved him But I believe, for the most part, I done good.
There's always sunrise and rainbows and babies And the little things I cherish on my way Even though one day They'll bury me and Jessie Mae

See, you didn't specify...so you brought that on yourself boaty! :kii:
Leaving next is "The Wheels of Laredo" by Tanya Tucker. This song is not nearly as good as BMFN, but it's also much better than "Hard Luck," imo. I don't particularly like it or dislike it which is what led to my middle-of-the-road ranking. Including myself, thirteen of us placed this in our Top 20, including eight Top 10s and three Top 5s.
And then there was one! It's down to "Bring My Flowers Now" vs. Reba's "Freedom"! Will Reba keep running circles around Tanya forcing her to pack it up? Or is Reba starting to run out of breath from all that running?! Feel free to re-predict which legendary lady will do better!

âThe Wheels of Laredoâ remains one of my favorite songs from the album and overall Iâd say it exceed my expectations. Yâall had me thinking this was somehow a bottom five contender so Iâm just glad to see it make it this far.

Tanya's whole album is so good. Even "The Wheels Of Laredo" should be so much higher.

At #12 we see the last of two collabs leave us! "Prove You Wrong" did just that when I thought I'd like this song. I didn't like it when we did the 2019 Country rankdown and it certainly didn't grow on me this time around. It's just far too repetitive for me and after awhile I just tune out from it. I don't know how it received such love but I'm just glad to finally be rid of my last place lol. recordyear and I are the only ones who even kept this out of the Top 20. Among y'alls Top 20s were eight Top 10s and three Top 5s. Troublemaker also loses his #1. Sorry to you!

âProve Me Wrongâ is a good song but this is one that overstayed for sure.

If my heart had a heart it would go on and leave me alone It'd stop having a mind of it's own Let me forget you and let me let go It would stop hanging on It would finally put this to rest Instead of putting this stake in my chest

Sadly, "If My Heart Had A Heart" by Cassadee Pope just misses the Top 10 here. This song is absolutely incredible. It's so beautiful, I love Cassadee's vocals, particularly her delivery of the chorus, and the lyrics are very well-written imo. I was saddened to see bottom 5 rankings for this one. Luckily there were only 3 of those tho, and fourteen of us had this in the Top 20. Among those were seven Top 10s and five Top 5s, one of which is castleoblivion26's #1. Sorry to you! BUT...while I'm saddened that this song didn't make it into the Top 10, I take solace in the fact that WE HAVE A TIE!!!!
