Ugh I'm obsessed with this song. I'd rank it even higher than #9 now. 😔

Ingrid leaves us next, and I've gotta say #17 is not a bad placement at all for a newer country song in a list as strong as this one!!! I have had a LOT of fun hosting these monthly new releases rankdowns so far. I feel like we have had pretty awesome results in both rankdowns so far, and with how much awesome music has been coming out in July I am REALLY excited for the future of the series!!

Considering how new "The Stranger" is and how it hasn't even turned into a hit yet, this is a pretty impressive showing for it here!

I know "What Hurts the Most" is like one of the seven Rascal Flatts songs LBTrocks likes but it's so weird seeing him rank a Rascal Flatts song way higher than me, lol. Minor key teas

I didn't even rank this that low!
That said, the superior "Five Minutes" losing to this song is still a cryin' shame. I ranked that one MUCH higher in the Revenge RD.

Um...I didn't even tank it...it was still in the Top 5 after me, thank you If I recall correctly, I didn't place this too high in her artist rankdown either, and this one just couldn't hold up for me amongst a lot of this list.

I learned long ago not to let the antics of these rankdowns get to me, both for my own sanity and also to make sure that the reveals are actually some semblance of fun. But this song's placement is bullshit. Look at that trajectory. A top 5 contender for the ENTIRE submission process!!!!!!!! Only for the final four lists to take it not only out of the top 10, but completely out of the top 15?!?! It is NOT okay.... One of the most unfortunate trajectories I have ever witnessed :'(

The Judds were a super consistent performer in this rankdown, managing to be a top 15 but not quite top 10 contender for almost the entire rankdown! As it deserves, because this is a really sneakily catchy song, and Naomi and Wynonna both sound absolutely fantastic here. I was a bit shocked this won their artist rankdown because I thought I had seen people complain about it on Pulse, but looking back I guess maybe it was just Ten Pound Hammer's grumpy ramblings

"Grandpa" is an absolutely iconic song. Genre-defining if you ask me.

My grandma had a ton of records when I was little (Loretta Lynn,Conway Twitty, George Jones, Tammy Wynette) and the ones I would always want her to play were The Judds I'm kicking myself for missing the rankdown.

I didn't do a bonus when we got to the top 15 So here it is a tiny bit late!Trisha gets a second bonus mention this time around, because "XXX's And OOO's" was the #2 finisher in her artist rankdown. It joined the world of rankdown winners for the first time a couple months ago when it won her Thinkin' About You album rankdown!
Bonus: "XXX's And OOO's (An American Girl)" - Trisha Yearwood
Finished at #1 in the: Trisha Yearwood: Thinkin' About You album rankdown (Host: someguy)

I was just listening to "XXX's and OOO's" earlier today! Definitely a highlight of that album for me.

Why on EARTH would I be able to relate to and enjoy a song about Grandpas when I have not even had my own children yet? Oh yeah and my grandfathers all died before I was born. One of them in Vietnam. What a stupid song!"

That trajectory for Lorrie is SAD! I’m sorry everyone!
I’m quite surprised I’m the only one with a top 5 rank for the Judds. 🤯

Luke Combs finally loses his first song! This one kinda had the opposite of the Lorrie Morgan effect, in that it was not even much of a top 30 contender until it suddenly rocketed up into the top 15 with the last handful of reveals.
I think this song will go down as a career best for Luke. It is so creative and groovy!!! Overplayed, yes, but it did not wear on me quite as badly as songs at that level of overplay typically do. I wish this had been the higher of his two songs in this rankdown!
