Definitely wouldn't expect Sparrow to be this high because of reverse recency bias. Reba-lite artist and Reba in the top 2 is an amazing finish! Thanks bboat11 for hosting.

Of course I missed it...but waking up to it? Is this Christmas?! ![FANCY](https://media.giphy.com/media/sRHSQ1OKQHJ6S91Lzp/giphy.gif) It's about damn time "Fancy" won a rankdown!!! This'll go down as my favorite RotB thus far just because of this finish! It's beyond iconic--it's genre-defining. You think country music, this song comes up. This Ultimate Rankdown idea is definitely a flimsy one but this song 100% would deserve to be on the list. (Also bboat11...you damn near gave me a heart attack thinking she was at #3!!! As I was scrolling down the page catching up on results, the first thing I saw was part of the album cover and I thought "oh HELL no!!" ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) ) Also, color me shocked at the #2!!! I was definitely expecting Ashley McBryde to go out right as soon as we started the Top 10 just because of how new she is, and you know how new people tend to do in these Best Of RDs..."Sparrow" is, I agree, a career-definer in the waiting and if the label f**ks it up I'll riot. I can definitely see the Reba comparisons (although...remember the CMAs when she recalled someone's compliment? "You're good. You're no Reba...but you're good." Lol) and I'm very happy to see her in the runner-up position. I'm glad "Rainbow" at least made it to the Top 10. I knew better than to expect it to even hit the Top 5 and quite frankly I was expecting a much lower finish so I'm definitely pleased to see it get as high as it did. And to talk about Reba again...I got a perfect ranking!! "The Heart Is A Lonely Hunter" is another iconic song from her incredible career and I'm very pleased to see it hit the Top 5 here. What an incredible finish!!! Thanks so much for hosting bboat11 and here's to Part V in the future!
