5. Which album will be the last to lose a song? Breathe
6. Which album will be the first to be completely eliminated? Probably The Rest Of Our Life but I hope not

1. What will be the winner? I honestly have no idea what to even guess on this one. All I’ll guess is it’ll either be from Breathe or Cry.
2. What songs will make up the top 5? This isn’t my top 5, but if I had to guess...Stronger, Paris, If This is the End, Love is a Sweet Thing, Break First (even though my ranking may have tanked one of those...)
3. What will be in last place? Dearly Beloved or Bringing out the Elvis (How did both of those songs end up in the top 5 album tracks!?)
4. Which songs will make up the bottom 5? Dearly Beloved, Bringing Out the Elvis, I’ve Got This Friend, A Room in My Heart, Life’s Too Short to Love Like Tuhat
5. Which album will be the last to lose a song? Cry
6. Which album will be the first to be completely eliminated? It Matters to Me
7. Which album will be the last to still have multiple songs remaining? At what point in the rankdown will that happen? Probably Breathe, somewhere around top 10.
8. "Break First" WON its album rankdown! How will it do here? I personally think this in is a little overrated, but I think it’ll do well and probably make to 10.
9. Which album will do better: Take Me As I Am or The Rest Of Our Life? The Rest Of Our Life

1. What will be the winner? I’m going to go with “Break First” or “If This Is the End”
2. What songs will make up the top 5? “Break First”, “If This Is the End”, “A Man’s Home Is His Castle”, “I Ain’t Gonna Take It Anymore”, and “I Would Be Stronger Than That”
3. What will be in last place? “Free” or “I’ve Got This Friend”
4. Which songs will make up the bottom 5? “Free”, “I’ve Got This Friend”, “Paris”, “Back To You”, and “Bringing Out the Elvis”
5. Which album will be the last to lose a song? The Rest Of Our Life or Cry (basing off my top 2 song predicition)
6. Which album will be the first to be completely eliminated? Faith
7. Which album will be the last to still have multiple songs remaining? At what point in the rankdown will that happen? I'll guess Cry as I can see "Stronger" making it close to the top 5 along with "If This Is the End"
8. "Break First" WON its album rankdown! How will it do here? I think it could be a top 2 contender
9. Which album will do better: Take Me As I Am or The Rest Of Our Life? I take this to be a trick question so I’m actually going to go with The Rest Of Our Life
10. Any other thoughts/predictions? Rankdowns such as these are incredibly tough to predict and so take everything above with a grain of salt

I had a hunch this song would not do well at all, as it held last place for much of her debut album rankdown, before randomly jumping into the top 5 album tracks at the last minute thanks to a couple unexpected high ranks... Lol
This song isn't BAD, but for some reason Faith/Larry's vocals do not work that well together to me. I always find the chorus to be kinda grating. It also doesn't help that Faith has gone on to be a much bigger star than Larry, so listening to this nowadays it's kinda like "Why is she singing with Larry?!" Lmao

I had “I’ve Got This Friend” pegged as a potential last place contender so this doesn’t come as shock at all. It’s one of the more dated songs in the list and then of course there is Larry Stewart who I’m sure many on Pulse aren’t the least bit familiar with.

We stick to Faith's early years with our second reveal, this time taking the first song from her second album. "A Room In My Heart" is a beautiful ballad about almost giving up on love, only to find it unexpectedly when all hope was starting to seem lost. It did not do super well in its album rankdown, only making this rankdown because there were so many hits on the album and so few album tracks, so I am not super surprised to see this one leave here either. However, nobody actually ranked it as low as it ended up placing!! That is a pretty good indicator of how strong much of this list is kamala 2024 truther is the first person to lose a top 10 here. Actually, nobody else has even lost a top 20 yet either, so I guess she's the first person to do that too!

I hadn’t realized until doing the album rankdowns for Faith that Breathe was my least favorite from her discography. “Bringing Out the Elvis” is one example of a handful of other songs that I just don’t like at all. This is almost unlistenable to my ears which is why I also thought it might be somewhere down in the bottom 5 of this rankdown.

LMAO whenever I see this song title, I imagine them going to bring out some kind of Elvis prop or decoration. Like, "It's December now! Grandma's going to go bring out the Santa!" 😂 But cheesy premise aside. This song is low-key a jam. Faith holds nothing back with those power vocals, and really sells this song with all her heart. I can see why it's not everybody's cup of tea, but it's still pretty damn fun to listen to if you enjoy it!

Wow, so far my bottom five predictions are right! I’m actually surprised haha. (Edit — never mind, Free messed that up haha)
I’ve Got This Friend isn’t a bad song at all, but there’s just something a bit odd about Faith and Larry in this one together that I just can’t put my finger on.
I’ve always found A Room in My Heart to be on the boring side. It has somewhat grown on me a little over the years, but I still just find it forgettable.
Bringing Out the Elvis is just BAD. I think Breathe is a nearly perfect album, this song being the one song that I just can’t stand. I love literally every other song on that album, so this one was always an instant skip for me. I missed the Breathe rankdown, but I remember being shocked that this one wasn’t last place, and even more shocked that it made the top five album tracks!
Free - This song always been all over the place for me. Some days I really like it, others I just have to pass on it. The Cry album is full of so many fantastic songs that this one, while not bad, pales in comparison. It stands out to me on the Cry album because it is one of the very few uptempo songs on there. I also find it interesting that she performed this one multiple times on tv shows, so I’ve always wondered if they considered releasing it as a single at some point (not to country, of course, that would have never worked!)

Oh thank goodness y’all got this right and set “Free” out in the bottom 5. I thought I might’ve been going out on a limb saying it was a last place contender as well, but I’m quite content with seeing it leave now. What is it that some of y’all see or hear in this song?! Yikes.

Welp, at least he tried..... "Free" bows out next, making Cry the next album to start accumulating losses, as well as making austin the first person to lose his #1. It is also the jackpot for last place rankings, as ClevelandRox, George Strait Junkie, .indulgecountry, and tim all put it there. Y'all, I have no idea why, but this song is a JAM to me ever since we did the Cry album rankdown... I can understand why people dislike it so much, because I spent the majority of the last 20 years HATING this song, but for some reason it has really been clicking for me lately... I'm actually disappointed it couldn't do better here, because it does occupy such a unique and interesting niche within Faith's discography that nothing else really comes close to (Except "One" from the same album, but that one remains terrible).

Rounding out the bottom 5, her debut album becomes the first album to suffer multiple losses!!! "Go The Distance" is definitely nowhere near bad, but it feels more like filler to me than just about anything else in this list. I simply couldn't put it any higher. The rest of this list is just too strong!

To each their own, but I love the energy that Faith brings to “Go the Distance”. I have a feeling some of her earlier material may not quite fare as well as it should if only because some of y’all like to throw the “but it’s dated” phrase around.

This bottom 5 is pretty acceptable. Glad to see my last place ("Free") out already, and lol @ it having 3 other #35s while also being the first #1 loss.

So much respect for you finding the greatness in this masterpiece! I do not understand why people hate this - the production is a JAM, the lyrics are fine enough, and Faith sounds great to me. She also loves this one, evident in how she randomly brought it into the Soul2Soul setlist (though it was some awful ballad version). It is such a great album opener and I absolutely LOVE the bridge as well where she slows it down and takes me home with her ruby slippers. I will never understand the hate and do not regret my ranking!

Um...what on EARTH is "A Room In My Heart" doing out before songs like "Telluride" and "Devil Callin' Me Back" (which still doesn't feature Faith Hill as prominently )?!
