The world and title of Lady Gaga's sixth studio album out this Friday. It is tragic that you had no idea. Heterosexuality is punishable by law here, you know. Since you've proven it, you must pay a fine of $69.

I can probably get this done tomorrow; there's just a few songs I need to re-familiarize myself with.

Extension plz So I'm looking at the Country RD thread to see what due date might be best and I'm thinking June 7th - that's a little over a week, does that sound good or do you think you might need more time?

1. What song do you think will win? "Tomorrow" for the win!!!!!!! (That's honestly the only one I see having a chance...)
2. What song do you think will place at #20? Probably "Hangin' On". Definitely will be one of his late-career songs.
3. How will the only non-single (it was a scrapped single) "Beer or Gasoline" do? Won't do amazing or terrible. Maybe around like #15?
4. "Drowning" seems to be much better-received than his recent output, where will "Drowning" place? #12. Would otherwise be a top 10 contender, but those who rank it low because the production prevents them from fully falling in love with it might have enough impact to bump it down a little. Especially combined with how well-received most of the first half of his career will be.
5. Any other comments/thoughts etc.? I expect the first half of his career to DOMINATE here... Let the top 10 be "Sober Saturday Night" and 9 songs from his first 4 albums!!! Lol

1. What song do you think will win? I think it’ll come down to either “Voices” or “Tomorrow” 2. What song do you think will place at #20? For Pete’s sake let it be “Hangin’ On” or “Losing Sleep”...I just wasn’t a fan of that era at all 3. How will the only non-single (it was a scrapped single) "Beer or Gasoline" do? It seems to be quite revered amongst his fan base, but even so I think it’ll be out somewhere within the top 20 4. "Drowning" seems to be much better-received than his recent output, where will "Drowning" place? As bboat11 mentioned this would otherwise be a top ten contender, but because of the issues some had with its production I can only hope this at least makes the top 15. I was especially moved by not just the lyrics and backstory to the song, but also to his performance at the Opry where he broke down while singing it. I cried right along with him and felt every bit of pain. I wish this had gotten more traction at country radio because I think it could’ve been a hit, but given everything that was going on at the time it probably was a bit too somber and serious for what people were wanting to hear. 5. Any other comments/thoughts etc.? I had never really dived into his discography much before this rankdown and grew to have a much deeper appreciation for both his work and the artist himself. I admittedly ended up stalking his Instagram a bit and going back over his pictures and videos...I have to say he just seems like a great human being and someone we can all look up to.

Well it’s in the top ten most played songs of him on last.fm so I wanted to meet somewhere in the middle :kii:

1. What song do you think will win? Gonna guess it'll be "Tomorrow", but could also see "Gettin' You Home" putting up a fight. 2. What song do you think will place at #20? "Aw Naw" 3. How will the only non-single (it was a scrapped single) "Beer or Gasoline" do? I'm gonna guess it comes in no higher than #16 tbh due to low familiarity holding it back. 4. "Drowning" seems to be much better-received than his recent output, where will "Drowning" place? Just outside top 10. I'll say #11 or #12. 5. Any other comments/thoughts etc.? Considering how much I feel like he's "fallen off" in recent years (he was solidly in my top 3 for male country artists for YEARS but I haven't felt that way about him for awhile now), I still felt like at least 2/3 of these songs were high quality and I only really don't care for my bottom 2.

1. What song do you think will win? “Tomorrow” most likely. It would be nice to see Neon, Lonely Eyes, The Man I Want to Be or Voices give it a challenge. I don't think Getting You Home will place in the top 5.
2. What song do you think will place at #20? “Hangin’ On” or this is fixed. That song flat out sucked
3. How will the only non-single (it was a scrapped single) "Beer or Gasoline" do? 14
4. "Drowning" seems to be much better-received than his recent output, where will "Drowning" place? Just outside the Top 10, or maybe 10
5. Any other comments/thoughts etc.? He really does have a pretty good catalogue. Later songs are not as strong. I do enjoy Aw Naw, Beer or Gasolina and Raised on Radio, they are just not as strong as his other output. They are fun in concert

1. What song do you think will win? "Tomorrow" or "Voices" without a doubt. Two of his absolute best songs.
2. What song do you think will place at #20? "Aw Naw" is the ONLY correct answer. There's a reason it got called out during "Girl In A Country Song" 😉
3. How will the only non-single (it was a scrapped single) "Beer or Gasoline" do? It ended up a scrapped single so I don't think it'll do too well here due to low familiarity. At most it'll likely end its run halfway through the reveals.
4. "Drowning" seems to be much better-received than his recent output, where will "Drowning" place? I personally love the song for its lyrics, as I can sadly relate. However, I just can't with the production. Chris released a piano-led version of the song, and that is absolutely the version that should've hit radio. The production will definitely drag what would normally be a Top 10 finisher likely just down below.
5. Any other comments/thoughts etc.? Chris Young is, imo, one of the best male voices country music has ever heard. I just wish however that his music would harken back to his earlier days, as his best songs are from the beginning of his career. It was nice to get to revisit some of these songs and I'm stoked for the Chris Young Album Series!

I’m ready!
I’m thinking “Aw Naw” is #20...
Chris has and can do better than that one!

Until "Hangin' On" is out, all the reveals are flat out wrong.
"Aw Naw" is a jam. It's got that edgy rock leaning melody that I like! I understand why it's not a favorite though, and it's not one of my favorites from Chris Young either... but that's because his catalog is SO strong and I greatly prefer traditional leaning Chris to this kind of material from him.

So "Aw Naw" is actually really fun in concert! But as a song, it's definitely near the bottom (well I did put it at #20 here but I was debating between a couple of songs) for me as far as Chris Young singles go.
This song was the clear contender for #20 by the time we were halfway through the submission process - in fact it finished 21 points behind the #19 song.
