Okay, wtf is it with this "couple billion people in the world" line showing up yet again!!! It's not quite as stupid in this song as it was in Dan + Shay's I guess because the line seems to imply that there are a couple billion women in the world rather than people in general. Which is.....closer to accurate I guess. Still inaccurate as s**t though. Try again.
But damn if this isn't catchy.... In an annoying yet undeniable FGL kinda way...

"Find You" managed to escape the bottom 2 thanks to its pair of top 4 ranks from castleoblivion26 and austin... But unfortunately, nobody else really seemed to like it To me, there is something really odd about this that I find slowly growing on me every time I listen to it despite its overall oddness. Kinda like something like "Salt Water Gospel" by Eli Young Band or "Own It" by Bailey Bryan. Probably not songs that one would want to have their own songs compared to, lmao. But unfortunately the growth was not happening fast enough to get it any higher than #27 on my own list.

"Girl In Mine" was never a top 10 contender or anything for me but I do enjoy it, then again I've always liked Parmalee... for the most part.
Ok, how did "Find You" by Brandon Stansell get in this? It was released a year ago lol. Its not a good song anyway.
"No Body" is so abysmal. It has no life to it.. Boring af.

Man it's such a bummer that Blake Shelton had to go and waste a perfect good return to a throwback sound on such a boring song. I was prepared to love it, but I realized very quickly that it was just kinda a letdown :( The chorus plods and drags and goes literally nowhere. The play on words in the hook isn't even slightly clever either. Blake did manage to hide that fact from a couple people at least though, which is better than his peers like Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan do most of the time, so maybe he's got a hit on his hands!!

30. Gary LeVox singing a (assumed because they wrote it) strapped Thomas Rhett and HARDY song at this point in his career? HARD pass. 29. The best Parmalee can do at this point is being a hit machine but they cannot even have a run like early Old Dominion's. 28. Nope, still doesn't like the vocals and the lyrics are not even special in any way. Also didn't know this was a year old song until LBTrocks mentioned it. 27. The piano at the end of the song should have come up much earlier because the groove sounds extremely flat. Also reductive lyrical hook coming from him.

Lol this is just so annoying!!! I guess this song has a time and a place, like at a sorority spring break party. But it has no appeal to me whatsoever.

I'm liking Priscilla Block less and less and less and less as time goes on lol. "Off The Deep End" is definitely better than the "I come here every Wensduuuayy" song but still isn't good and now I find her voice annoying.

I think label executives made a wrong bet with Priscilla Block at this point. If her second album mostly has these songs then I wish her luck.

I love "Hy-Brasil" by Allison Russell and actually do like Brandi Carlile fine but "You're Not Alone" was NOT it for me. Definitely not my cup of tea.

Unfortunately a string of top 5s bows out next, from Kanenrá:ke , Kris Kringle , and of course the one who requested this song, recordyear . "You're Not Alone" proved to be a divisive song (our second most polarizing), and the fact that the majority of its ranks fell into the bottom half did not really help it to have an impressive run here. Personally, I wanted to like this one, but the whole thing started to feel pretty stagnant after it went on for awhile. There is a bit of nice crescendo in the final stretch of the song, but a lot of the middle started to feel very bland and samey.

The bottom 5 is off to a great start. Parmalee's song is tolerable by their incredibly low standards, but those other 4 songs are tracks I would prefer to never hear again, lol.

Lol sorry Flops.... The first #1 bows out next, and somehow this managed to only be our 4th-most polarizing song despite having both a #1 and multiple last place ranks! This song just did absolutely nothing for me, and the melody was really dark in a way that I just didn't find catchy.

I like this song, yet feel like it's... not as good as it could be. It has potential to be a lot better.

I played "Xanax and Champagne" for my friend who hates most country and even he loved it lol but yeah, I get it, it's too good for y'all No but seriously you can thank .indulgecountry for getting me obsessed with this one and turns out he isn't even thrilled with it. I listen to it ALL THE TIME! It's deliciously dark and the melody is fantastic. Ain't like she does crack cocaine its just Xanax and champagne is my fav part of the whole song, it just sound SO GOOD. Expected them to land somewhere in the teens not 20s so I'm disappointed, to say the least.

Brandy Clark singing would have made Xanax & Champagne sound better (it's co-written by her and Shane McAnally). The duo sounds okay here.
