So, I decided to give the album a listen just in case some of the album tracks were good but I can’t say I enjoyed any of the songs, so I’m officially 100% gonna have to sit this out lol, sorry ClevelandRox

Gurl! “It’s Your World” literally sounds just like a song that we would stereotypically expect you to love 👀 It has ALL the hallmarks of your guilty pleasures!

[Deleted]

LOL, I am assuming I, again, must have liked a hated song or hated a loved song? Still lol

Well, I didn't lol. That chorus was awful.

"Mexicoma" is the closest 'guilty pleasure' song on the album, just because the vocal arrangement is catchy.

Welp, your participation percentage for Tim’s albums continues to be higher than your participation in George’s albums

Oh dear Lord. If “Highway Don’t Care is his last place, I vote you save Set This Circus Down for LAST ALBUM... 👀

Haven't I only missed like, one George album RD so far? Your statement is correct but its hardly a fair comparison, lol.

And don't jump to conclusions regarding my last place!

[castleoblivion26]

I have listened to the full album and discovered quite a few songs I really enjoyed. Look forward to listening to this album a bit more before doing my ranks!

Sounds good, castleoblivion26! I think you and Cody Wants Out... are the last two that showed interest that I'm waiting for. Going to close after yalls unless someone else is needing to get one in? taylor is terrified?

I'll start reveals tomorrow evening, for now here's a few questions!


1. What song will be #1?

2. What song will be last place (#14)?

3. What will be the highest placing album track?

4. What will be the lowest placing single?

5. What will have the highest SD? Lowest?

6. What songs will make up the top five?

7. Does Keith Urban plucking a guitar for three minutes in Highway Don't Care warrant a feature? 🤔🔥

[bboat11]

1. What song will be #1? "Highway Don't Care" SHOULD have this in the bag!! Although possibly "One Of Those Nights" if HDC picked up too many tankers.

2. What song will be last place (#14?) "Truck Yeah", with no competition whatsoever.

3. What will be the highest placing album track? Maybe "Friend Of A Friend"? "Annie I Owe You A Dance"? "Two Lanes of Freedom"? There are SO many good ones, I will not be surprised by the highest unless it is something like "Mexicoma" I'll go with "Friend Of A Friend"

4. What will be the lowest placing single? "Truck NO" in last place...

5. What will have the highest SD? Lowest? Highest: "Number 37405". Lowest: "One Of Those Nights".

6. What songs will make up the top five? HDC, OOTN, "Friend Of A Friend", "Nashville Without You", and the title track?

7. Does Keith Urban plucking a guitar for three minutes in Highway Don't Care warrant a feature? 🤔🔥He definitely deserves to be mentioned, but it probably shouldn't add to his Billboard points or #1 total or anything...

[bboat11]

Also, I hope y'all didn't do #37405 too dirty!!! It deserves the album tracks rankdown at least!!

Fixed.

[.indulgecountry]

1. What song will be #1? "Highway Don't Care"

2. What song will be last place (#14)? "Truck Yeah"

3. What will be the highest placing album track? Gonna take a random guess because I really don't know what album cuts are most favored here and say... "Nashville Without You" maybe?

4. What will be the lowest placing single? "Truck Yeah," no contest, lol.

5. What will have the highest SD? Lowest? Highest: "Southern Girl" | Lowest: "Highway Don't Care"

6. What songs will make up the top five? "Highway," "One of Those Nights," "Nashville Without You," "Number 37405," and "Friend of a Friend"

7. Does Keith Urban plucking a guitar for three minutes in Highway Don't Care warrant a feature? Nope

[gonecountry]

1. What song will be #1? Probably Highway Don't Care

2. What song will be last place (#14)? Since this is the Pulse I'm thinking Truck Yeah, but IMO this song is nowhere as bad as Top of the World from subsequent albums. I'm not sure what could be last. I'll give you Truck Yeah in the bottom 3.

3. What will be the highest placing album track? Nashville without You, or perhaps Two Lanes of Freedom

4. What will be the lowest placing single? TY

5. What will have the highest SD? Lowest? Highest - Southern Girl, Lowest - TY

6. What songs will make up the top five? Highway Don't Care, One of Those Nights, Southern Girl, Nashville without You, and either Two Lanes of Freedom or Book of John

7. Does Keith Urban plucking a guitar for three minutes in Highway Don't Care warrant a feature? Not in the slightest

[castleoblivion26]

1. What song will be #1?

"Highway Don't Care"

2. What song will be last place (#14)?

"Truck Yeah" has a strong possibility but I'm kinda hoping that is 2nd out and "It's Your World" is out first

3. What will be the highest placing album track?

"Nashville Without You" or "Friend of a Friend" hopefully

4. What will be the lowest placing single?

"Truck Yeah" with "Southern Girl" not far behind near the bottom hopefully

5. What will have the highest SD? Lowest?

Highest: "Southern Girl"
Lowest: "Highway Don't Care"

6. What songs will make up the top five?
"Highway Don't Care", "One Of Those Nights", "Nashville Without You", "Friend of A Friend", "Two Lanes of Freedom"

7. Does Keith Urban plucking a guitar for three minutes in Highway Don't Care warrant a feature? 🤔🔥

He is on the recording so yes he deserves to be listed as a feature

Okay okay, all you that guessed Truck Yeah for last place in the questions were right! Y'all really put it dead last! I don't hate Truck Yeah, but definitely see why it's not everybody's cup of tea. Somehow this ended up the most polarizing song of the rankdown! gardyfan loses his number one. :( SEVEN others lose their last place!

Truck Yeah was released as the albums first single and had a huge debut before eventually stalling right outside the top ten. It's co-written by the boys of LoCash (which could explain why so many of you think it's terrible, I've never gotten into a single song by these guys 💩)  and Chris Janson.

[fearlessarrow]

The only correct choice for last place.

[lady𝓐fan]

[Cody Wants Out...]

I considered another song for last place as well.

We continue taking out the trash with It's Your World. :sip2:  This is by far my least favorite song of Tim's entire career on an album where I pretty much love everything else. Like nails on a chalkboard. 

Four more lose their last place, which clears out all but 4 last place's remaining! 

[fearlessarrow]

The clunkers in this album stood out so much because 1) they were SO bad and 2) the rest of the album is actually really good (well, for the most part). "It's Your World" was definitely another clunker here.

I figured it would do pretty bad here since it's just a really fun song, but I have such a blast with Mexicoma! Goodnight, sweet prince. You're now in a mexicoma you won't wake up from.  austin is next to lose his last place!

[fearlessarrow]

Ah "Mexicoma" is a jam! I would've rather seen this than "Truck Yeah"/"Southern Girl" if they wanted an upbeat single.
