This is a fun country song from Kellie that started off her career in the right way. Her personality shines through, just as it did on tv. Congrats to toomuchboy for a perfect ranking!

Apart from "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter, this is the elimination song that most will probably remember as contestants got the boot. It was extremely fitting. This became one of Daughtry's biggest hits to date! Here is a clip of one of those eliminations. I chose the fantastic Melinda Doolittle.

The music video was gorgeously shot in black and white. This single was a great way to end her "Some Hearts" era! She shot to superstardom with this album and has now had a 15 year career with a long list of hit records and singles!

This is the Carrie Underwood song that most people outside of country music will recognize. It was a huge crossover hit and this song, along with "Jesus, Take the Wheel", blasted her career into overdrive! Congrats to fireflies and dee12 for picking the #1 song this rankdown! |

Carrie having the top 2 here is no surprise. Both fantastic songs! Glad to see "Red High Heels" in the top 5 tho!  |

"Before He Cheats" just won its first rankdown?! Holy cow!!!! This is the very FIRST time a country song has ever won a non-country rankdown, so I have absolutely no idea how to handle this with regards to all my stats about country rankdown winners 😂😂😂 |

Another one of Blake's performances is leaving us. While he was fun to watch on the show, it was fairly easy ranking these low compared to a ton of successful post-show singles. Congrats to fireflies for back-to-back perfect rankings! |

Blake was a fun performer but what he does really doesn't translate to anything more than a talent show performance. Stacked up against a majority of this list he falls to the bottom. Funny enough I did rank two studio songs lower, one cause I couldn't stand the vocals and the other because overplay made me dislike it to the point of no return lol

This is a lovely rendition of a classic Christmas tune. Carrie's vocals are spot on and I'm glad that this managed to hit the charts. We finally got a full length Christmas album from Carrie this year. It's great and is already selling/streaming very well! Congrats to ClevelandRox for a perfect ranking! |

I definitely under-ranked this. I do love it but have a hard time ranking Christmas songs opposite non-Christmas songs

We gave Blake a brief break. But, we lose his post show debut single this time around. His sound on the show translated to that of his album. It managed to make a tiny dent on the charts.

This is the rare time that a non-contestant will make these rankdowns. This song was very 'American Idolized' though. I love that she earned another Hot 100 entry. You can tell she's having a lot of fun with this. The original judges and Ryan being together at the end of the video was icing on the cake. They were awesome together on the show and really helped mold Idol into what it is today! |

I was surprised at the time by how much I enjoyed this. The only other Paula Abdul song I have time for is "Straight Up."
