This collaboration got pushed to radio as a single after it was included as part of "The Shack" soundtrack. The soundtrack is very good and this is a standout for me. "Keep Your Eyes on Me" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill is also one of my favorites. Here is the movie trailer!

The big success of "Dreamgirls" eventually led to Jennifer finally releasing her first solo album! This was her debut single. She brings in the attitude that this song needed. Congrats to fireflies for a perfect ranking!

[bigd79]

Well i guess based on how these rankings have gone so far im definitely the biggest david cook fan of this group lol

We were a little divided on Bucky's song. I believe this is a well-delivered and emotional single that should have been a bigger hit for Bucky. This was story driven and could have conveyed it better with a music video.

[fireflies]

The next two songs tied in points. A #2 ranking will edge out a #5 ranking. This is pivotal as it determines which song will make our top 8.

[fireflies]

This song is an album cut from David's self-titled debut album. The song plays out like an anthem and fits his vocals very well! Congrats to toomuchboy for a perfect ranking!

This was one of David's signature performances on American Idol. Similar to Jason Castro and "Hallelujah", David A. included this cover on his debut album!

David's debut single turned successful for him and helped his album to have legs. Similar to Chris Daughtry, he ended up going the pop-rock route. Congrats to .indulgecountry for a perfect ranking!

#6 - I Told You So - Carrie Underwood (with Randy Travis)

We lose our first #1 ranked song right before the top 5. This was Carrie's 5th single from the "Carnival Ride" era! She sounds gorgeous and was able to get herself and Randy a top 10 Hot 100 hit!

[toomuchboy]

I love Randy's solo version of "I Told You So" so much. Carrie's just way too loud on this one. And dueting the song with Travis just made her come across even louder.

This was the single that followed his massively popular hit, "Crush". This was a fan favorite from the album as David directly took it to his fans to find out what his 2nd single would be. Congrats to fireflies and dee12 for perfect rankings!

[fireflies]

#4 - Crush - David Archuleta


Total Points: 37
Hot 100: #2

ClevelandRox - #1
dee12 - #3

This skyrocketed on the Hot 100 chart upon its release. David's big fanbase from the show translated very well with his first release. This was a fitting song that showcased his youth.

This is one of my favorite singles from Kellie. The song is charming and spreads a good message. The video was well done and seemed like it was fun to make. Congrats to ClevelandRox for a perfect ranking!

[fireflies]

Between our top 2 songs, we had three people with #1 rankings! There's only a 3 point difference between the two!

[.indulgecountry]

"Don't You Know You're Beautiful" is one of many Kellie Pickler songs that never ceases to put a smile on my face.

2X PLATINUM

fireflies - #1

I was so happy when then was announced as the 4th single. The song is a tear-jerker and the video definitely lived up to the hype. The changing of the dresses always looked cool to me. Congrats to dee12 and .indulgecountry for perfect rankings!

Which means that...

#1 - My Life Would Suck Without You - Kelly Clarkson


Total Points: 15
Hot 100: #1

toomuchboy - #1
dee12 - #1
bigd79 - #2
fireflies - #3
ClevelandRox - #4
.indulgecountry - #4

This was a huge hit for Kelly, especially on the heels of a disappointing era the time before. This spent two weeks atop the Hot 100! This is very catchy and was a perfect choice of single to start off a new era! No one ranked this outside of the top 4. Congrats to toomuchboy for picking the winning song and dee12 for picking correctly the top two songs!

    

[.indulgecountry]

Would've preferred the inverse of this, but I love both!
