I'm too hard on that Luke Combs song, I should've ranked it a little higher tbh.

This is where I expose LBTrocks ' rantings from my PMs about how that "tuneless pop mess" from Lady A is going to win easily once again whether he participates or not

Well, there goes my first-ever rankdown winner!
"When It Rains It Pours" is much newer among this list, so I have to say I'm quite proud of its performance here! It's shocking to me that it was barely in the Top 30 but I'm glad it pulled a Lorrie Morgan Reverse Uno card at the end. Quite an accomplishment for this one!
Lady A's song also did pretty great here, all things considered. I would've liked to see it be in the Top 10, but after "Just a Kiss" being QUITE unfairly shafted, I'm happy with this very strong finish!

Maybe since we all agree about how awesome "Write This Down" is we can give George his first win in a Best of the Best rankdown in a couple months Welp, y'all literally did not even try.... RIP to one of the most unanimous and dominant album rankdown victories of all time...

I really wish "Even Though I'm Leaving" could've made it to the Top 10 but for as overplayed (I guess) as this one has become, I'm proud of this one's finish as well!
This one is really beautiful imo and it hits close to home for me as I can relate to it.

This shouldn't have been the higher of the two Luke Combs songs. ETIL is very overrated and overplayed. "Pours" is still totally fresh and never ages for me.

I'm likely wrong but I'm gonna take a stab at predicting the Top 10: 1. You Lie - Reba McEntire 2. I Hope You Dance - Lee Ann Womack 3. From A Table Away - Sunny Sweeney (As I said before this all started, I can see Sunny shocking us again and taking this, but with the likes of Reba and Lee Ann in her company, it's gonna be a taller order) 4. The Heart Won’t Lie - Reba McEntire ft. Vince Gill 5. Kerosene - Miranda Lambert 6. Walkaway Joe - Trisha Yearwood 7. How Can I Help You Say Goodbye - Patty Loveless 8. Mine All Mine - SHeDAISY 9. One Way Ticket (Because I Can) - LeAnn Rimes 10. She Thinks His Name Was John - Reba McEntire aaaand this just made me realize that the Top 10 is a good-old-girls' club! (well, other than Vince's appearance with Reba lol)

Wow my top 10 took some big hits in the top 15... I'm surprised "What If I Never Get Over You" lasted this long, I thought it would be out in the 30s or something.
I'm genuinely surprised I was the highest ranker for "I Didn't Know My Own Strength" considering I had never heard it before prior to this RD!

Oh, what do you know it’s an all female-lead top ten...color me surprised. Of the songs by male artists in the rankdown I thought that either George’s “Write This Down” or Luke’s “Even Though I’m Leaving” stood the best chance of making it in, but alas both had to settle for the two spots outside of that. Anyways... It was quite disappointing to see what happened with Lorrie’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” and for it to be a solid top five contender for most of its run only to have the rug pulled out from under it with the last few lists. It was fun getting to host that and I wasn’t all that surprised that song was such a favorite amongst the group. Sorry you didn’t get to see Lorrie live bboat11 ! Let’s take a stab at this top ten with some uncertain predictions shall we: 10. Mine All Mine 9. I Hope You Dance 8. She Thinks His Name Was John 7. Kerosene 6. Walkaway Joe 5. One Way Ticket (Because I Can) 4. The Heart Won’t Lie 3. How Can I Help You Say Goodbye 2. From a Table Away 1. You Lie

One Way Ticket (Because I Can) - LeAnn Rimes 5. The Heart Won’t Lie - Reba McEntire ft. Vince Gill 4. Walkaway Joe - Trisha Yearwood 3. You Lie - Reba McEntire 2. Kerosene - Miranda Lambert 1. From A Table Away - Sunny Sweeney

I sure hope so because I miss live music and concerts so much...I'd plan them out months in advance and it always gave me something to look forward to

Let's kick off our top 10 reveals with a very special bonus song
This is the first BotB rankdown in which Martina McBride did not have any songs for us to rank... However, that does not mean she did not win any rankdowns in the eligibility period! In fact, her head-banging hillbilly classic "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues" was the big winner in our last Revenge of the Best rankdown!!!
This song absolutely slays in every sense of the word. The fiddle, the dobro, the vocals, the lyrics, it is just a 100% smash. One of the reasons I love this song so much is that it kinda flies directly in the face of all the criticisms of her focusing too much on issue songs, power ballads, etc. It is also an insanely fun song live!
Bonus: "When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues" - Martina McBride
Finished at #1 in the: Revenge of the Best - Part III rankdown (Host: bboat11)
