It ended up being quite a battle between these two fan favorites, with both of them spending a bit of time at #1, and both taking command of the top 2 for pretty much the entire rankdown! "Sleeping With The Telephone" and "Maggie Creek Road" are both lyrical and vocal masterpieces, and while it may have been a pretty obvious top 2, I am so glad to see them finally get a chance to fight each other!! And while "Telephone" was my #1, I am THRILLED to see "Maggie Creek Road" pull off a win here! "Telephone" won its album rankdown, but "Maggie" had the unfortunate luck of being on an album with "Consider Me Gone", one of her most-loved singles of the last 20 years. Therefore, "Maggie Creek Road" makes its way to the list of rankdown winners for the very first time.

Girl why did you finish this when literally ONE person was here to see it?! Should've saved it for later tonight to see any meltdowns that might've arised! Anyways, PLEASE let it be known y'all that I LOVE MCR to pieces. My entire Top 20-25 or so are songs I either love or really like. I'm not at all upset to see it win (and would've LOVED to see it be a single) but it would've been nice of course to see my #1 win as well. Thanks for hosting!

Great (if expected) finish! Really, anything that made the top 10 would have been a decent winner, so I was happy with the way it turned out. I'm glad to see that "The Bridge You Burn" did so well here. THAT, I think, is the very biggest missed single opportunity of her career. Had that followed "Turn On The Radio" instead of "If I Were A Boy" (probably the worst single choice of her career), I think the All The Woman I Am album era would have played out so differently, with the third and fourth singles staying the same. (I also think that the Reba Duets singles were so wrong too, but label politics with duet partners played a huge role there, so I'm giving that one a pass). Thanks for hosting bboat11!

I feel like doing reveals right in the heart of the afternoon for most of you is pretty reasonable! Lmao. Besides, I had to keep my evening clear to start revealing George ;)

The right song won!! "Maggie Creek Road" is an EXCEPTIONAL song in all aspects. The storyline and the way it progresses is fantastic, coupled with the attitude that Reba delivers it with, and the delicious production is all totally perfect. It 100% should've been the follow-up single to "Consider Me Gone" and I think she would've had back-to-back career smashes on her hands. It's a shame we got the title cut instead which was basically a non-entity, and then the era abruptly ended (granted it was partly because she made the choice to move on to "Turn on the Radio," which did well for her... but MCR needed to be a hit first). "Telephone" is a pretty fitting runner-up. It's a beautiful lyric and even more beautiful vocal collaboration. Both ladies brought it. The whole top 5 was fantastic and deserving. Great rankdown, bboat11.

This is going to be incredibly difficult. I see a pretty obvious bottom 5 for me, but other than that, I want to put everything else in the top 10.

It will probably take a couple of weeks though Yea this actually took me a couple of weeks to knock out myself. bboat11 does a great job of keeping the main page of the thread updated with the results so I just ended up making my own playlist and went from there lol. It wasn't easy by any means so I do recommend starting early!

I have finished my list, but I think I'll hold onto it until tomorrow to submit, so I can look it over in the morning with fresh eyes one last time. This was pretty painful! Besides a couple easy bottom rankers, I wanted to put almost everything in the top 20, and at least my top 25 in the top 10.
I purposely didn't look over my album rank lists while doing it, so I'm sure I'll have songs in a different order here than on their individual album lists. Most of these songs are so strong though, that the order I would rank them can change a fair bit, depending on the day.

Tonight's Bless the Harts was kind of an homage to Fancy and I was expecting Reba to have a guest voice, but atleast they played the song. 💃🏼😂

Ooh; an extension without us asking for one? I was gonna try to do a last minute list tonight right after I wrapped up Southern Voice, but it's nice knowing we have extra time now. I've already about 25% done so I should be done by Thanksgiving anyways.

Just got a rough draft completed! Will spend some more time this evening to hopefully wrap this up in a pretty little bow.
