Boom! In what may be a shocking twist considering her rising profile lately, Lainey Wilson is the top 5 contender who had to settle for a placement just outside the top 5! You can throw your tomatoes at Kris Kringle for that bottom 10 rank coming right at the end and shoving it back by two whole positions, haha. That being said, the song that managed to sneak into the top 5 at the last second might shock people, as it has a lot of fans who probably considered it to be a lock for the top 5, if not higher.... Thanks to Kris though, you don't get to find out what it was quite yet! ;)

Out next, we lose our song with the most #1 ranks, which was also a major #1 contender before it ran into the bad luck of a last-place rank....

Having both #1 and bottom rankings would make me think that #5 is wait in the truck
#4 Well In Your World #3 Three Whiskeys And The Truth #2 I CAN’T HELP MYSELF #1 MUSCLE MEMORY

I don't love the melody of wait in the truck, but I just love the story telling so much. In the same way, I recently found myself enjoying the storytelling of Holy Water, while the melody is also not my thing.

That's right, the song that kept Lainey Wilson out of the top 5 is....also Lainey Wilson! HARDY and Lainey had one of the hottest songs of this rankdown, with "wait in the truck" gathering up a whopping FOUR #1 ranks, and holding onto the top spot for basically 1/3 of the rankdown! They were one of the biggest top 5 contenders, staying there for the entire rankdown aside from once at the very beginning. They also got a last place though, which is what ultimately unseated them from #1, and contributed to this being the MOST polarizing song of the rankdown.

The top 2 will most certainly be all Kelsea. Also...before this month gets wrapped up, I did want to add that my favorite discovery was Tenille's "The Last Time".

Surprise...I'm actually here for the finale. Well shit! I might just have to keep going with the October reveals tonight while we have such a rare and elusive opportunity! (I'm kidding, btw. We only have like three lists, and have had no warning of it closing. I won't do that to y'all! ;) )

Aside from me almost placing this as my #1, I also actually had it pegged as a solid top 2 contender. Color me surprised.

Wow, didn't see this coming. Not my personal highglight of the album, but it's still a jam and I recall this song collecting positive comments from most of the posters.

Thanks to Kris though, you don't get to find out what it was quite yet! The song that I was alluding to earlier, barely sneaking into the top 5 at the last second thanks to Kris Kringle, is in fact our first entry from Kelsea Ballerini! "MUSCLE MEMORY" was no slouch; it still picked up THREE #1 ranks from SHOOTER, zaclord 🌈, and .indulgecountry, and managed to be a consistent top 10 contender! However, the pair of bottom 10/5 ranks from kw9461 and George Strait Junkie also acted as an anchor that prevented it from being the top 5 contender that most probably expected it to be... This is poppy, but there is just something so engaging in the groove! The "uh huh"s are literally so brilliant imo, because that is the part that I cannot get out of my head every time I hear this!

It may not be the throwback sound of their debut album, but "Well In Your World" is still a damn catchy song, that has gotten even better every time I have heard it! And the fact that basically everybody put it in the top 10 except for a random couple of floppy ranks from LBTrocks (of COURSE) and 🌺CountryLineDancer made it a pretty solid lock for the top 3 when all was said and done! This was .indulgecountry's request from their new EP, and it seems like it must have been a great choice based on the reception here.

"Well In Your World" is not bad by any means, but I would expect something stronger from M&T, like Every Night Every Morning. This was pretty generic.

Maddie & Tae are always a safe bet here amongst Pulse. While I always find myself liking and enjoying their output, I still find it all somewhat...unmemorable? I'm not sure I can find the right word, but everything is starting to blend in together as far as the production and sound.

Edit: Oh that's right he doesn't like them anymore.Since I joined here, I don't really remember him liking LBT so much lol. From my perspective, he should change the user name to MichaelRayrocks or HighValleysucks.

Unpopular opinion but "Hell Yeah" > "Three Whiskeys And The Truth". I have actually been liking Hell Yeah a lot for the last couple of weeks.

I just loooooooooovee "I CAN'T HELP MYSELF" so much This song is such a boost of energy and a breath of fresh air. I am very happy with "IF YOU GO DOWN" being the second single, but I am crossing all my fingers and toes that this becomes a single at some point. To me this is an absolute SMASH!! And this is definitely a song where I really notice the Shania influence that people have been talking about with this album. Especially the "oh oh, here I go again. Oh oh, can't say no" pre-chorus, which reminds me SO much of the "oh, you think you're something special" pre-chorus to "That Don't Impress Me Much"! It's also one of my favorite vocals from Kelsea on record. She sells the energy of this song just about as effectively as the emoting queens Jo Dee and Reba would have done. Please oh please let this be a smash hit in 2023!!!!
