Stats for #10:
The curtain wasn't drawn on the first song to exit in the top ten as it jumped from outside the top 40 and rose to being a very strong competitor. This did have a brief fling inside the top 5 in the middle of its run, but a lone bottom 5 came along which ended up holding this one back a bit. And yet again the last participant to submit their list played an integral role in shacking things up as their bottom 10 ranking shot this down four spots.

Not to sound like a broken record, but yet again I'm a bit disappointed to see the results being shaken up this much at the last moment as "Ghosts on the Stereo" looked bound to finish just outside of the top 5. That said, I'm very pleased with how this performed overall as I was unsure how it would perform in the rankdown considering it wasn't a single. So many of Carrie's songs have been featured in rankdowns that I wanted to chose something a bit different, and so since many considered this a missed single opportunity from the Cry Pretty era I thought it would be a good choice.

Stats for #9:
The second song to leave just inside the top 10 was one of the very few to be a consistent top 15 contender for its entire run and comes in as the third least polarizing song. This only received one bottom ranking with the majority of the participants placing this somewhere within their top 30. I know that there's a handful of you out there, though, that are likely surprised to see this song make it as far as it did.

I'm walking in their footsteps, I’m singing their old songs Somebody blazed this trail I'm treadin' on I'm bent, but I'm not broken I'm stronger than I feel, I’m made of flesh and bone Not made of steel

10. “Ghosts on the Stereo” - Carrie Underwood taylor - 23 As the resident Carrie stan...explain yourself! It's not my fault this list is so strong! There just so happened to be so many great songs on this list and I must admit I might've played this one a bit too much by now. In hindsight I might've underranked it a bit though.
EDIT: Yes I did that with the Miranda song. I stand by my #2.

I was quite surprised to see "Keeper of the Flame" vastly outperform "Getaway Driver" especially when you consider that the latter finished in the top 3 of its respective album rankdown vs. the other which didn't even make the top 5! I can't many were enthusiastic about this song being released as a single back then, but I do wonder if by chance it has aged better than others may have thought (including .indulgecountry). Speaking for myself, I have grown to really love this song and as you can see it almost made my own top 5.

I feel like "Ladies in the 90s" and "Long Way Down" have to be on borrowed time by now, with either "Wasting All These Tears" or "Dime Store Cowgirl" missing out on the Top 5

Love both songs! Interesting to see Carrie and Miranda losing their songs in a row, and just inside the top10.

Stats for #8:
Once our next song reached the top 5 it remained a consistent top ten contender for the duration of time as it was propelled by the support of the majority placing this inside their top 20. This comes in as the 15th least polarizing song with it picking up only two rankings outside of the top 40 and only one of those being a bottom 10. Three participants lose a top 5 with one of those being someone's top ranked song.
Best rankdown position: 3 Worst rankdown position: 37 Average position: 20.71 SD Rank: 15th Lowest Ranking distribution: Top 10s: 5 11 to 20: 7 21 to 30: 4 31 to 40: 3 41 to 50: 2 Bottom 5s: 0

I still prefer "Getaway Driver" but I'm pleasantly surprised KOTF did make the top 10! Both are gorgeous songs. "Ghosts..." doesn't do much for me.
Also I like the song but "Ladies in the 90s" needs to leave soon lol

Stats for #7:
Our second to last song to exit just before the top 5 only dipped outside of the top 15 three times, but otherwise remained a very strong competitor as it climbed into the top ten at the home stretch. Only five points separated this one from #6 and it may have likely even made the top 5 if not for its only bottom 5 which was a DEAD LAST ranking! Not one, not two, but three people lose their top ranked song while two others lose their #1.

Love "Fly". It wasn't my favorite when they released it, but it grew on me with time.
"Long Way Down" is a nice song, my #33 is just because the list is a strong set, but yeah at this point I'm more than okay with it leaving.

Any guesses on which song leaves before the top 5?!? Stay tuned to find out! Considering the different complaints about Ladies in the '90s still being there, I think it could be the next song to go. But I'm gonna be boldy and say it's The Blade.

ClevelandRox may have booted a bunch of good songs out of the top 10, I see he brought Sara back in, so all harm he might've done has been negated in my eyes, lol.

Before I unveil the top five songs, I wanted to do one final showcase highlighting a few more honorable mentions. Of the artists I selected include Chely Wright, who in May of 2010, became one of the first major country music performers to publicly come out as lesbian and released two more studio albums including 2010's Lifted Off the Ground and I Am the Rain in 2016; Deana Carter, who was the winner of the 90s Women of Country rankdown, also released a studio album titled Southern Way of Life in 2013 and also continued to tour for much of the decade; Gretchen Wilson who released four studio albums including I Got Your Country Right Here in 2010 and most recently in 2017 with Ready to Get Rowdy; Shania Twain who released her much anticipated fifth studio album Now in 2017 which was followed by a world tour in 2018; and lastly I'll be showcasing both Karen Fairchild Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town.

Chely Wright ”Broken“ Last time that I let somebody in It really hurt me but that was then So here we are, just you and me The sum of all our injuries
Don't try to push me 'cause I might break Not sure how much of this I can take So if you otta go, well that's alright too Guess there's not a lot that we can do
Deana Carter ”Do or Die“ So do or die, laugh or cry This is just a temporary storm that's blowing by Sink or swim, lose or win It takes the extraordinary to change the world we're in I could sit around and think about all the reasons why It's do or die
Gretchen Wilson ”Rowdy“ They say lightning won't strike in the same place twice But let me get behind this guitar You better run for cover cuz I'm bringin the thunder From underneath the radar
Whatever everybody's doin' it don't feel right Let me show you how we used to do a saturday night!
Shania Twain ”Poor Me“ Oh, poor me this, poor me that Why do I keep looking back? Poor me this, poor me that It's not white, it's not black Grey's the color that I see I still can't believe that he'd leave me To love her
Karen Fairchild & Kimberly Schlapman of Little Big Town ”Girl Crush“ I want to taste her lips Yeah, 'cause they taste like you I want to drown myself, in a bottle of her perfume I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch Yeah, 'cause maybe then you'd want me just as much I got a girl crush

I love "Poor Me" and can't wait to see how it does when we get to its album rankdown! I also would've probably had "Girl Crush" particularly high on my list.

Stats for #6:
The final song to exit actually only reached its highest position at the very, very lost moment as it was propelled all the way from #11 to #6! This had a rather bumpy ride at first, but once it got its footing and landed in the top 15 it remained steady there for the rest of its run. Two participants lose a bottom 10 ranking while two others lose their top ranking song.
Best rankdown position: 6 Worst rankdown position: 36 Average position: 20.29 SD Rank: 21st Highest Ranking distribution: Top 10s: 7 11 to 20: 6 21 to 30: 1 31 to 40: 4 41 to 50: 3 Bottom 5s: 0

ClevelandRox strikes again, but this time his #1 propelled "Ladies in the '90s" all the way from outside to the top 10 to dang near putting it inside the top 5!
