I have no idea lol, I could just name a random song I guess.

[gonecountry]

1. What song will be #1? Please not "It's Your Love", my least favorite of all the Tim/Faith duets. I'm going to guess Everywhere.

2. What song will be #11? Aint That The Way

3. What single (It's Your Love, Just to See You Smile, Everywhere, For A Little While, One of these Days, Where the Green Grass Grows) will be highest? Everywhere

4. What single (It's Your Love, Just to See You Smile, Everywhere, For A Little While, One of these Days, Where the Green Grass Grows) will be lowest? One of These Days, unjustly so. All the singles - save one duet - were pretty top notch IMO

5. What song(s) will be most polarizing? Least polarizing? Where the Green Grass Grows - most Everywhere or Just To See You Smile - least

6. What album track will place highest and where? Whatever it is it will be at #7 IMO. I don't see any of the album tracks topping the singles

7. You Just Get Better or You Turn Me On? You Turn Me On

8. Any other thought/comments? Four of the six singles could easily be #1 in my book. I think For A Little While is probably underrated, but what a great tune...

Right of the gate, George Strait Junkie loses his #1! :( I wish it could've done a little better for him since it seems like he was really passionate about it, but You Turn Me On is our last place.

[fearlessarrow]

"You Turn Me On" stuck out like a sore thumb - makes sense why this one was a bonus track. It's a couple steps below what most of the album has to offer.

[LBTrocks]

I'm not passionate about it lol but I did like the song, thought it was a jam. I thought I'd be the highest ranker tho lol

I am just now getting onto my laptop for the first time today, so I'll answer these real quick...

1. What song will be #1? "Just To See You Smile" has always reigned supreme compared to the other hits on this album. However, it also seems to be one of those songs that has elicited a strong negative reaction from people for being such a prominent winner. So I am going to predict that this time it gets stuck at #2, and "Everywhere" sneaks ahead for the win!

2. What song will be #11? I would have guessed either "You Turn Me On" or "Hard On The Ticker", so...

3. What single (It's Your Love, Just to See You Smile, Everywhere, For A Little While, One of these Days, Where the Green Grass Grows) will be highest? "Everywhere" at #1

4. What single (It's Your Love, Just to See You Smile, Everywhere, For A Little While, One of these Days, Where the Green Grass Grows) will be lowest? "One Of These Days" at #7.

5. What song(s) will be most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most polarizing: "One Of These Days". Least: "Everywhere".

6. What album track will place highest and where? "Ain't That The Way It Always Ends" EASILY deserves this, and might even be able to sneak ahead of a single to finish at #6.

7. You Just Get Better or You Turn Me On? "You Just Get Better", obvs ;)

8. Any other thought/comments? I'm excited for the showdown between these singles! They are such a strong group of songs! Although I would prefer to see "Green Grass" in the top 2 over the title track... But I think overplay will hold that one to #3.

[bboat11]

"Hard On The Ticker" and "You Turn Me On" are both horrible songs on an otherwise standout album. Should have been the bottom 2.

[LBTrocks]

lol of course you all did a 90s country jam like "Hard on the Ticker" dirty. I guess I should just be thankful it wasn't #10.

And with this reveal we are down to one album track left that I like.

[ClevelandRox]

Coming up next is Hard on the Ticker! I kinda wish the chorus to this was a little stronger as I find the verses really fun, but it's still not a bad song. Kanenrá:ke and LBTrocks lose their #2. :(

Also, my sketchy AF looking perfect rankings end here 😂

[bboat11]

I honestly couldn't remember "You Just Get Better All The Time", but apparently I liked it... Lol

Listening to it again now, I can see why I liked it. Shocked to see so many low ranks for it! The high notes Tim hits in the pre-chorus especially are really well-done! I might have overranked it by a position or two, but it definitely should have beaten "Hard on the Ears".

I didn't even notice but thanks for exposing yourself!

Hint for #8!

Everything on this album is a '90s country jam, so... It's not like we're comparing it to crappy modern country, we are comparing it to other better '90s country jams!

I'd have no problem with this statement if you were calling "Hard on The Ticker" a jam as well  :kii:

I do enjoy the groove and the instrumentation. But that chorus is so awkward... Lol "Hard on the ticker" is not a phrase that can afford to be repeated more than once per chorus without starting to sound really cheesy...

[LBTrocks]

Glad that "I Do But I Don't" is out now and that the far superior album track remains!

[bboat11]

"I Do But I Don't" is a good song, but fails to be great partly because of how fantastic all of the songs that surround it are... Definitely not one I would skip, and it also sounds like one that will continue to grow on me the more I hear it.

[fearlessarrow]

Now with the obvious bottom 4 out, this is where things get REAL!

[bboat11]

Moment of truth!!!!! Is the last album track going to leave next, or are we going to break up the cluster of massive hits??! I personally would love to see "Ain't That That Way It Always Ends" hand on a bit longer!
