We should make a goal of trying to smash it next month

How long will it be before we lose a female song? 7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown? 8. Any other thoughts/predictions? |

I can see Amy being divisive, but I also don't know any of the country posters here so I could be wrong. I do think Amy would fare very well on rock radio, what a hell of a crossover that would be.

1. What will be #1?
"29"
2. What will be #25?
"Glad You Exist" or "Drive"
3. What else will be in the top 5?
"Should've Known Better", "Chasing After You", "No Shade", "Give It To Me Straight"
4. What else will be in the bottom 5?
"I Hope You Miss Me", "Wilder Days", and "Amy" joining the 2 that I think could be #25
5. What will be most polarizing? Least?
MOST: Ashley Monroe, Walker Hayes, Kip Moore, Kalie Shore
LEAST: Carly Pearce, Dan + Shay
6. How long will it be before we lose a female song?
within the bottom 5, possibly in last place for the first time ever maybe
7. What or who was your favorite discovery of this rankdown?
"Leave Each Other Alone" and "No Shade" are my two favorite discoveries. I hope both do very well!
8. Any other thoughts/predictions?
Kip Moore needs to do better than bottom 5, "Midnight Slow Dance" is a great song and I thought it would be a great song to have on here to spotlight the Deluxe Edition of his Wild World album. I see people predicting it doing terrible but I am really hoping it doesn't |

Happy to see everyone predicting that "29" will win. I think it'll come down to Carly vs. Carly in the top 2, but that one is VASTLY superior to "Shoulda Known Better" so I am becoming a bit relieved that everyone seems to be siding with "29" in that fight, lol.

"29" is drastically overrated, imo. "Should've Known Better" is definitely the better of the two, but everyone here seems to hear something I don't with "29" so that'll probably win.
This was a much stronger set of songs than January though! Very few I disliked. But please God let that awful "Amy" song be last place.

29 feels like the obvious winner here but I personally prefer SKB.
Amy haters can find the nearest ditch and dive right in!

Let's talk about y'all tanking Walker Hayes because it's Walker Hayes.  This is possibly his best song! Y'all had an easy last place with D+S's genericness right there. 😂 If Walker escapes last place, it's a win for me. 🙏 |

I haven't taken a deep dive into Dan+Shay but I don't think they'll ever have a song as good as Tequila again.

Huge improvement from Go To Bed, and it's a decently pleasant song.
Not sad for this leaving though, as I may have over-ranked this by a few spots.

I'm so ashamed at how much I like this song. It gets stuck in my head all the time lol. Not surprised it's last, but I think it's a drastic improvement from their last several singles.
