Y'all just vote I Wanna Remember high because of Carrie Underwood lol. The male vocalist of NEEDTOBREATHE sounds like disposable pop rock groups leaders.
I voted it high because it’s easily the best song on the May list AND because of Carrie Underwood, thank you.

Yeah, "Briefcase" definitely got the snip here because "Fancy Like" was too big to ignore, and Walker Hayes is not the kind of star to warrant getting 2 new songs in one new release rankdown like has previously been awarded to stars like Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, etc.

Not Michael Ray finishing top 2… also y’all did “I Wanna Remember” sooooo dirty. Especially in such a weak group of songs. Tenille was an okay winner, but it’s nowhere near as good as “Give It To Me Straight”
With that said, June is looking way more promising. There are some great songs here that I already know but fuck I hate that Brantley’s song was included ao I actually have to go listen to it… 😑

But to be fair Carly Pearce got two and she has…two top ten hits all-time.

Edit: No Briefcase by Walker Hayes ft. Lori McKenna here? bboat11 So austin did actually request that one. But like .indulgecountry said, "Fancy Like" ended up being just too big to ignore! So I unfortunately had to change it up. The way it dominated the sales charts last month is insane! When we have a song that blows up like "Fancy Like" did, I couldn't just ignore it. I'd be willing to consider adding "Briefcase" next month though if there's room!

But to be fair Carly Pearce got two and she has… two top ten hits all-time. A seemingly small threshold...which Walker is only halfway to, bless his heart But no, it's based on a whole bunch of factors, previous artistic success being the least of them! I pay attention to their level of hype, combined with the size of their perceived fanbase, combined with how well or poorly they normally do in this series, combined with how full the release schedule is in a given month, combined with how often they release new music, combined with how much new music they released during the month, etc. There's no denying that Carly's new EP had more anticipation and Pulse Hype than just about anything else that has come out this year! Even then I wanted to only choose one because it's just an EP, but "Should've Known Better" and "29" both had pretty significant followings right out of the gate, got a ton of requests from various people, and both came with a lot of hype in the real-world as well. In the case of Eric Church, he put out three albums at once and he has a huge fanbase on Pulse. Alan Jackson very rarely puts out new music, and his album was also huge. Miranda Lambert is obviously an artist with a HUGE Pulse fanbase, who also doesn't release new music super often, so she's the type of artist who I reserve the right to give two songs to during a release month whenever possible! I'd put someone like Reba McEntire, Sara Evans, Carrie Underwood, George Strait, etc. in that same category as well. Jamie O'Neal literally hadn't released new music in like a decade, so I tried to milk her era for all it was worth! So there's not a consistent way to determine who gets 2 songs at once, but usually when I do it I try to give it to people who won't then turn around and have both those songs finish in the bottom 5 😂 I know there's always a chance he'll do better, but the history is not encouraging! But I'd totally be willing to give him entries for two months in a row since people seem to be requesting it I'm actually excited to see how well "Briefcase" can do since y'all actually seem to have some hype for it!

I will also say, I prefer to only give artists one song in a month. Like, consider Alan Jackson again, the lead up to his album felt super quick so we didn't have a lot of chances to rank them before release month. Whereas somebody like Lainey Wilson had quite a bit of Pulse Hype upon album release, but we had also ranked like 5 of the songs already in previous months, so it didn't feel necessary to give her two despite the hype. Same situation for Brothers Osborne and Chris Stapleton. Eric Church WOULD have been in their position, but then he put out multiple albums at once.
So if I can put an artist in consecutive months, that's typically what I prefer :) Unless there are special circumstances. Idk I'm just rambling at this point.

Speaking of reminders, I really need to revive this and give y'all another reminder! This is now down to just four more days. I know I have done a terrible job with reminders, so I can potentially give a couple extra days, but the month is ending soon so we're just about out of time! We're up to 9 people who have taken it upon themselves to submit despite having practically zero reminders, so give these people a pat on the back!! Participants so far: 1. tim 2. ClevelandRox 3. recordyear 4. austin5. zaclord 🌈6. George Strait Junkie7. Kris Kringle8. someguy9. SHOOTER

This was probably one of my least favorite new releases rankdown of the entire series thus far. I already know I probably overranked one of the songs that'll likely be out in the bottom 5 (if not in the bottom 2), but it at least was memorable enough to leave a lasting impression (good or bad).
