Icons of Country Music Rankdown (Reba Wins!!!)

[The Pulse Monthly]

Welcome to the Icons of Country Music Rankdown!

We here at the Pulse Monthly understand how stressful this time is, so we have decided to come up with a series of rankdowns to take your mind off of things, even if just for a little while! We begin with a rankdown of 40 country music artists. These artists have proven themselves to be country music icons or legends in the making through their artistic output. There's no need to listen to any music; all you need to do is rank these artists based on your personal preference of their artistry as a whole! (But if there's someone in this list that you've never heard of, you should probably, like, listen to a couple of their biggest hits so as to give them as fair a chance as possible.)

Here is the artist list for your preference revealer convenience:
Alan Jackson
Blake Shelton
Brad Paisley
Carrie Underwood
Chris Stapleton
Daddy Dierks Bentley
Darius Rucker
Dixie Chicks
Dolly Parton
Eric Church
Faith Hill
Garth Brooks
George Jones
George Strait
Johnny Cash
Kacey Musgraves
Keith Urban
Kenny Rogers
Lady Antebellum
Little Big Town
Loretta Lynn
Lorrie Morgan
Luke Combs
Martina McBride
Miranda Lambert
Pam Tillis
Patsy Cline
Patty Loveless
Rascal Flatts
Reba McEntire
Sam Hunk
Sara Evans
Shania Twain
Tammy Wynette
Tanya Tucker
Taylor Swift
Tim McGraw
Toby Keith
Trisha Yearwood
Willie Nelson

Y'all know the rules: Rank these people #1 (the one you're the biggest fan of) to #40 (the one you really just don't like at all), PM the list to the Pulse Monthly account (PLEASE NUMBER YOUR LISTS), and sit back and enjoy reveals as they happen!

We are still discussing a deadline for this album, and once we have one we will share it with you. Happy ranking!

I would've rioted, but lady𝓐fan had already come up with the graphic and I wasn't gonna make him redo all that work just to add one artist. 

we were originally gonna stop with 25 anyways until we realized we'd missed a couple of huge icons such as Tammy lol

[tim]

Why is that "Daddy" Dierks Bentley is the only one that gets a kinky nickname?

[born]

Omg so Tammy Wynette was an actual person? I thought it was a Reba McEntire song

I put Daddy Dierks there because of the popularity around here of that nickname lol. Should I go back and say "Mama Miranda Lambert"?!  ;)

[Sambalada]

Omg no Johnny Cash and Patsy Cline? 😢

There are so many country icons that somebody was gonna get paid dust sadly! We didn't want to make a list of like 50+; I mean we even missed people like Merle Haggard with this list!

taylor Let's add Johnny Cash to make an even 30, I'll make a new graphic lol. Can't believe I forgot about him.

[Troublemaker]

No Faith Hill but somehow Michael Ray made the cut

[lady𝓐fan]

Michael Ray serves daddy realness

I PM'd you in the new graphic thread you started! <3

lol y'all I'll update the original post as soon as we have it REALLY finalized

[born]

I'm not a country expert but I did laugh at Michael Ray making the list with zero impact and about 5 hits

[Sambalada]

Alright which one of the hosts is a Michael Ray stan like...?

[Fire]

Thanks for the tag but I'm not interested because I don't listen to country.

Five hits?

Try like five singles. 😂

[The Pulse Monthly]

If you check the original post, we have removed Michael Ray and added Faith, Trisha, Pam, Patty, George J. and Johnny! That gives you 34 artists to rank!

no matter how many more people we add, someone will still end up being shafted.
