working on my list and wow are there some trash on here. Not sure how to pick a last place because there is some serious competition for last! Agreed. 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). I agree, and tbh I feel like the country industry is in a bit of a slump right now... May was just really underwhelming as a whole, but June has multiple legit dumpster fires.... And then it gets even worse because July's rankdown is going to have "Am I The Only One", "Happy Birthday America", etc. Like, can we please get through August without somebody releasing absolute horses**t?!?!?

But so far it's been a pretty light release month too, lol.

Plus, we need stuff like "Happy Birthday America" for the bottom of our lists. ;)

Why can't we just rank the 10-15 good songs each month instead of shoving in as many turds as possible? A thought.

1. What will be #1? If The World Was A Small Town 2. What will be #25? Where The Country Girls At 3. What else will be in the top 5? I Quit Drinking, Weekends Look A Little Different These Days, Things Dads Do, What A Song Can Do 4. What else will be in the bottom 5? Beer With My Friends, Throw It Back, Old School, The Worst Country Song Of All Time 5. What will be most polarizing? Least? Most: Fancy Like Least: If The World Was A Small Town 6. How long will it be before we lose a female song? It has to be outside of the bottom 5. The bottom 5 does not have a room for a female in this list, I predict. 7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown? No discovery, unfortunately. 8. Any other thoughts/predictions? How in the heaven SEX made it to the list over other songs by Gary?

1. What will be #1? I don’t really see a frontrunner #1, but y’all are surprising participant. I’ll guess I Quit Drinking even though it’s marketed as a pop song. 2. What will be #25? There are some contenders, but I think some of them did receive better reception in country forum than expected, so it’s down to Beer With My Friends or Throw It Back where the artists involved got no hype in country forum, leaning to latter. 3. What else will be in the top 5? Thomas Rhett seems to over-perform in these kinds of rankdown so Things Dads Do for a spot, Lady A is similar so What A Song Can Do for another spot. Then probably If The World Was A Small Town and I’m Movin’ On. 4. What else will be in the bottom 5? Beer With My Friends, Where The Country Girls At, SEX, The Worst Country Song of All Time 5. What will be most polarizing? Least? Most polarizing: Fancy Like Least polarizing: ‘Til You Can’t 6. How long will it be before we lose a female song? #18 with Pray (female featuring). #16 with Kryptonite (female lead song) 7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown? This Brian Kelley song is so much better than the previous one. I can see how Grady Smith would push for this song (aside from him being friends with FGL irl) 8. Any other thoughts/predictions? City of Music deserves top 10, but I feel it would just miss.

1. What will be #1? "If The World Was A Small Town"
2. What will be #25? so many options for here but it really should be between "The Worst Country Song of All Time" or "Where the Country Girls At"
3. What else will be in the top 5? "Pray", "What A Song Can Do", "I Quit Drinkin'", and "Weekends Look A Little Different These Days"
4. What else will be in the bottom 5? The two fighting for #25 plus any combo of "Beer With My Friends", "Fancy Like", "Throw It Back", "Same Boat", and "Highway On The Water"
5. What will be most polarizing? Least? MOST: "Small Town Prayer"; LEAST: "If The World Was A Small Town"
6. How long will it be before we lose a female song? Around 18-16
7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown? I absolutely loved "Pray" and really hope that others like that one as well because it deserves to do well!
8. Any other thoughts/predictions? This might be my least favorite list we've ever done. I think anything from my #17 down would be my last place in just about any other month. Hopefully next month is a lot stronger!

1. What will be #1? "I Quit Drinking" perhaps?
2. What will be #25? The crap Trace Adkins cooked up sounds like he got wind of Brantley's song title and said 'hold my beer!' If that ain't dead last in a landslide, I've lost faith in y'all.
3. What else will be in the top 5? Lauren Alaina, Miranda Lambert, Lady A, Cody Johnson
4. What else will be in the bottom 5? Shy Carter, Breland, Toby Keith, and Gary Allan
5. What will be most polarizing? Brian Kelley's "Highway on the Water" Least? "Where the Country Girls At"
6. How long will it be before we lose a female song? #19
7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown? There was only a couple of these I hadn't heard before the rankdown opened, but I'd say Tigirlily was probably my favorite. "Dig Yourself" is the first song I've heard from them that didn't suck, lol.
8. Any other thoughts/predictions? Hoping and praying that RaeLynn doesn't get mercilessly tanked for once. "Small Town Prayer" is absolutely gorgeous and she's never sounded prettier on record.

There were enough new releases today alone to fill up all 25 slots for July. Good luck not making anyone mad compiling that list, bboat11 :)

Good luck not making anyone mad compiling that list, bboat11 :) We're at the very tail end of the month so maybe today's releases can get swept onto the August list. There's been at least a couple times in the history of this series where bboat11 had to do that, lol. 😂

I apologize for the delay getting this started! Most of y'all know I was really busy trying to finish up a class last week by the end of the month... Well, the good news is, I made it!! The class is done, and I am now done with my Master's in Education!!!! Pending final evaluation of my last couple projects, of course. Now that that bulls**t is behind me, I have time to catch back up on Pulse!!!! I'm ready to start this thing so we don't fall too far behind on next month's set!

This has got to be the worst country song I have ever heard in my life. .indulgecountry insisted that I include it just to see how poorly it would do. The answer is, VERY! This month had more bad songs than normal, and yet despite that fact, "Where The Country Girls At" was our runaway last place for the entire Rankdown, and ended up finishing nearly 70 POINTS lower than our #24 song Nine people got perfect rankings at last place, which was by far the most of any song. And of course, EVERYBODY had it in their bottom 5.....except for George Strait Junkie with a near top 10 rank (HOW?! Like, there is nothing even slightly appealing about this song!) It was easily our least polarizing song.
