I have #5, 6, and 10 left. This is pretty disastrous for an album RD even in my standard. At least glad to see three #1s for If I Could Be You. At least you weren't alone in that #10!!!!

The album's lead single bows out next, taking with it a pair of #1s from Cody Wants Out... and ccarter1023, as well as a trio of last places from myself, 🌺CountryLineDancer, and ClevelandRox. This song was a fairly successful lead single in Canada, peaking at #9 on the Canadian Country Charts! Despite my last place, keep in mind that I love almost everything Terri has ever touched... I can definitely jam to this one when I'm in the right mood! It definitely started this era out on a sour note for me though... It represented a sonic shift that was pretty shocking for those like me who had waited for more songs that sounded like "Life Goes On", "Damn Right", "Bigger Windows", "She Didn't Have Time", etc...

There you have it!!!! The biggest hit from this album, the #5-peaking "If You Want Fire", was a very strong competitor here! It held on to the runner up spot for nearly the entire submission process. This song is another one that I have loved from the moment I heard it. The guitar work makes this one of the most engaging instrumentals on the entire album, which is sorely needed because otherwise this album is pretty samey from track to track. This song isn't quite like anything else Terri has ever recorded! However, it proved to be no match for "A Million Ways To Run", which joins "If I Could Be You" as being one of the most emotionally impactful songs on this album. This one has a little bit more of a positive bent to it however, as it deals with somebody who is getting clean from addiction, and transitioning from feeling like they are alone in the world to realizing they are not the only person who is feeling the things that they feel. Lyrics like "I came here years ago when I lost my sanity. I hit an all-time low, but then I found serenity" show off what an incredible songwriter Terri Clark can be!! Especially when considering that she wrote this completely by herself! It is a song of pain breaking forth into hope, and has always been a bit of a fan favorite, so I was definitely not surprised by how strong of a contender it ended up being here. Melodically I prefer "If You Want Fire", but there's no denying that "A Million Ways To Run" is a powerful moment from this album! Thank you all for participating and following along!! Next stop...CHRISTMAS!!!!!!

Nice winner! Would’ve liked it to be “If I Could Be You,” but of course you can’t win ‘em all. (Especially in my case ) thanks for hosting and I’m excited for Terri’s Christmas album!

Oh good, the right song won! "A Million Ways to Run" is one of her most powerful ballad singles for sure. Great song. That said, I absolutely cannot @ those 3 erroneous LAST PLACE rankings for "Gypsy Boots." Y'all have gotta be trolling me putting that song lower than either of "You Tell Me" or "Poor Girls Dream." Madness. Also lol @ the flashback ranks from the singles RD showing that all three of these finished within 4 positions of each other in the 30s.

Well I never expected "Gypsy" boots to have 3 last place rankings, wow!
So glad "A Million Ways To Run" got it's chance as a winner, it's a wonderful song! I've used part of it's lyrics in a password at some point in time lol
Honestly so so happy "If I Could Be You" got so much love, I had it in my bottom 2 but I do love the story the song tells. I was definitely underestimating how that one would connect.
This album was probably the biggest sonic shift she's ever had album to album (Fearless being #2?), I do wish we had got a longer album since she went back to her main sound right afterwards.

Just The Same (1996)
Tracklist: (Runtime about 37 min)
1. Emotional Girl 2. Poor, Poor Pitiful Me 3. Just The Same 4. Something In The Water 5. Neon Flame 6. Any Woman 7. Twang Thang 8. You Do Or You Don't 9. Keeper Of The Flame 10. Not What I Wanted To Hear 11. Hold Your Horses After WAY too long of a break, it is officially time to jump back into this series!!!! I figured, since we haven't been here for awhile, why not go back near the beginning to go with an album that had some pretty substantial hits on it. EVERYONE knows "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me", and the vast majority of people SHOULD know "Emotional Girl", and the rest of this album follows a very similar vibe, so this is bound to be a fun time for those of use who are along for the ride! Please try to have lists done by Friday August 19th! That will allow me to get the reveals wrapped up before the July New Releases rankdown ends up being due the following week. Due: Friday, August 19, 2022

With the news that Terri’s going on tour with Reba McEntire this fall (I’m hopefully snatching some tickets for November 5!!!), this revival is perfectly timed! Excited to get back into her catalog!

Sent my list in; do we have any potential stragglers here? It's still too early to tell for sure, but I'm thinking this one is in good shape to close up on time! There are still stragglers, but they've still got nearly a week to get it done :)

This was such a hard album to rank. It's a tossup between this and Pain to Kill for her 2nd best record to me, after Life Goes On (which is a clear first place imo). Every single song on this album is either a total JAM of an uptempo or a heartbreaking ballad. There isn't a single skippable dud to be found on Just the Same. Her debut album was incredibly solid, but she really upped the ante with her sophomore set.

As the weekend draws to a close, it is now the LAST CALL to get a list in for this album!! codyj100 I'm thinking that you are interested in joining based on liking my last couple posts and your history of loving Terri, so I'll gladly make sure I have your list before I close it up for good!! And if anyone else wants to sneak in at the last minute, please do so! There is still plenty of time to listen to this short little album :) I have teacher in-service training stuff starting tomorrow, so I'm officially back at work and will not be able to do anything until tomorrow afternoon.Participants so far: 1. bboat11 2.

Hi, sorry I haven't started this one yet! I have barely been on here for a couple weeks now. I have barely been home too! I had a week's worth of teacher professional development trainings last week, prior to school starting this week. So now school has started, and I have been trying to have one-on-one Zoom meetings with all 45 of my seniors since I am the 12th grade Advisor this year and need to make sure they are all on track to graduate... Meanwhile, my dad is retiring, so he had his retirement party on Thursday! I drove across the state earlier this week and spent several days at home with my family helping prepare for this party, while also working constantly to try to Zoom with all of my seniors... I was also hoping that codyj100 would have had time to submit by now, but he never did :( That was initially why I didn't start revealing it while my trainings were happening last week. But oh well, if you see this and want to follow along, please know that you are still welcome to do so!! With that, this is officially closed! Feel free to start making predictions, 'cause I need to update all my other rankdowns before I can even think about starting these results!
Just The Same Rankdown: Results Time!

Do we have a schedule on when this one will start? Once a single person puts forth the effort to make any sort of prediction 😂 Haha but really, sorry, it's been our first couple weeks of school, which is always crazy... I'll get started soon though. Like, it'll be over by the end of the weekend!

It's been a while since I've done one of these lol...
1. What is going to win? "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" by a landslide
2. What will be last place? This is a bit of a head-scratcher because I'm not really sure what might leave first, so I'll roll the dice and say "Not What I Wanted to Hear" as it's a bit unmemorable
3. What else will be in the top 3? "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" and "Emotional Girl" in the top 2 followed by the title track, "You Do or You Don't" and "Any Woman" in the top 5 / Bottom 3? "Not What I Wanted to Hear", "Keeper of the Flame", and "Neon Flame"
4. What will be the most polarizing song? "Twang Thang" / Least Polarizing: "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me"
5. What should be the highest-placing album track? "You Do or You Don't" seems like a safe bet
6. Any other thoughts/predictions? This album is very nostalgic for me as I got the chance to see Terri open for George Strait in Kansas City in October 1996 which was just a month before the albums release. For whatever reason, all these years later the one album track that she performed then that still stands out to me is "Twang Thang" (I think she opened the show with this actually) which I hope will escape the bottom 3.
