What will be #1? Good question. I'm hoping it's from the first half of his catalogue. Austin? Some Beach? Honey Bee?
What will be #45? Perhaps a 5 way tie? It will be an early single no one knows.
Which single from Blake’s self-titled album will place the highest? (“Austin”, “All Over Me”, “Ol’ Red”) Austin, for sure
What single from Them Dreamer’ will place the highest? (“The Baby”, “Heavy Liftin’”, “Playboys Of The Southwestern World”) The Baby
What single from ‘Blake Shelton’s Bar & Grill’ will place the highest? (“When Somebody Knows You That Well”, “Some Beach”, “Goodbye Time”, “Nobody But Me”) Damn well better be Some Beach, that is classic Blake.
What single from ‘Pure BS’ will place the highest? (“Don’t Make Me”, “The More I Drink”, “Home”) Home
What single from ‘Startin’ Fires’ will place the highest? (“She Wouldn’t Be Gone” or “I’ll Just Hold On”) Gone
”Hillbilly Bone” was the only single from the EP of the same name. Will it land in the top half of the ranking? Is the Pope Catholic?
What will be the highest placing single from ‘All About Tonight’? (“All About Tonight” or “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking”) AAT
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Red River Blue’? (“Honey Bee”, “God Gave Me You”, “Drink On It”, “Over”) Honey Bee
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Based on a True Story...? (“Sure Be Cool If You Did”, “Boys ‘Round Here”, “Mine Would Be You”, “Doin’ What She Likes”, “My Eyes”) I will poke out "my eyes" if it is that crappy "sure be cool if you did". Mine Would Be You? Boys?
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Brining Back the Sunshine’ (“Neon Light”, “Lonely Tonight”, “Sangria”, “Gonna”)“ Neon Light
What will be the highest placing single from ‘If I’m Honest’ (“Came Here To Forget”, “She’s Got a Way With Words”, “A Guy With a Girl”, “Every Time I Hear That Song” or the song that got played on Christian radio, “Savior’s Shadow”? A Guy w/ a Girl. It better not be that inferior copy of Keith Anderson's Every Time I Hear Your Name...
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Texacoma Shore’ (“I’ll Name The Dogs”, “I Lived It”, “Turnin’ Me On”) Lived It, despite it's chart run
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Fully Loaded: God’s Country’ (“God’s Country”, “Hell Right”, “Nobody But You”) God wins
”Happy Anywhere” isn’t on a released album yet, will it be in the top half? of course
Any other thoughts on Mr. Shelton? Lot of talent. Big personality. Fun in concert (at least he used to be). HUGE sellout w/ his single choices since basically Drink On It. Once in a while he'll reach down and pull out something with a little bit of "oomph", but my God what a waste of talent. His single choices lately have had a bit of life (outside of this current snoozer w/ Gwen), but my God...

What will be #1? "Austin". Honestly I'd be beyond shocked if that is not #1
What will be #45? it should 1000000% be the trash that is "Boys 'Round Here". While he has many trash singles, that one is in a league of its own
Which single from Blake’s self-titled album will place the highest? (“Austin”, “All Over Me”, “Ol’ Red”) "Austin" obviously. I definitely see "Ol' Red" being a Top 5 contender though, also think that "All Over Me" will be lower on the list
What single from Them Dreamer’ will place the highest? (“The Baby”, “Heavy Liftin’”, “Playboys Of The Southwestern World”) Easily my favorite album of his but one of the hardest to predict. I think "The Baby" SHOULD be the highest but I also expect it to have some detractors which could help "Heavy Liftin'" be the highest
What single from ‘Blake Shelton’s Bar & Grill’ will place the highest? (“When Somebody Knows You That Well”, “Some Beach”, “Goodbye Time”, “Nobody But Me”) Probably "Some Beach" in the Top 10. I think both "Goodbye Time" and "Nobody But Me" will do well as well. Hope "When Somebody Knows You That Well" does well but I worry it gets tanked for being slower and more unknown
What single from ‘Pure BS’ will place the highest? (“Don’t Make Me”, “The More I Drink”, “Home”) "Don't Make Me" easily is the highest here
What single from ‘Startin’ Fires’ will place the highest? (“She Wouldn’t Be Gone” or “I’ll Just Hold On”) Probably "She Wouldn't Be Gone" but I think both will be near one another.
”Hillbilly Bone” was the only single from the EP of the same name. Will it land in the top half of the ranking? No, I think this will be at the highest middle of the pack but definitely no higher
What will be the highest placing single from ‘All About Tonight’? (“All About Tonight” or “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking”) "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking" easily
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Red River Blue’? (“Honey Bee”, “God Gave Me You”, “Drink On It”, “Over”)"Honey Bee" with an outside chance of "God Gave Me You" being higher
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Based on a True Story...? (“Sure Be Cool If You Did”, “Boys ‘Round Here”, “Mine Would Be You”, “Doin’ What She Likes”, “My Eyes”) should be "Mine Would Be You" with "Sure Be Cool If You Did" being close
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Brining Back the Sunshine’ (“Neon Light”, “Lonely Tonight”, “Sangria”, “Gonna”)“ Probably "Lonely Tonight"
What will be the highest placing single from ‘If I’m Honest’ (“Came Here To Forget”, “She’s Got a Way With Words”, “A Guy With a Girl”, “Every Time I Hear That Song” or the song that got played on Christian radio, “Savior’s Shadow”? Personally "Every Time I Hear That Song" should easily be the highest of these.
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Texacoma Shore’ (“I’ll Name The Dogs”, “I Lived It”, “Turinin’ Me On”) "I Lived It" easily
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Fully Loaded: God’s Country’ (“God’s Country”, “Hell Right”, “Nobody But You”) "God's Country" easily. I could see this being a dark horse for #1
”Happy Anywhere” isn’t on a released album yet, will it be in the top half? No
Any other thoughts on Mr. Shelton? Up to his release of "Hillbilly Bone" he was one of my favorite artist but with that release he started to go downhill for me and while I liked some songs released after that well enough I found I didn't love his material the way I did beforehand. "She Wouldn't Be Gone" and "I'll Just Hold On" was such a strong two punch and it felt like he went backwards from there. Occasionally he'd have a great song but overall he is very meh and honestly from the stretch of singles from "Sure Be Cool If You Did" to "Turnin' Me On" he sounded bored most of the time, outside of a couple songs. Hopefully a majority of those songs go early.

What will be #1? "Ol' Red," perhaps?
What will be #45? He has so many bad songs that it is impossible to say. I'll take a random guess and say "She's Got a Way with Words."

What single from ‘Startin’ Fires’ will place the highest? (“She Wouldn’t Be Gone” or “I’ll Just Hold On”)

What will be the highest placing single from ‘Fully Loaded: God’s Country’ (“God’s Country”, “Hell Right”, “Nobody But You”)
”Happy Anywhere” isn’t on a released album yet, will it be in the top half? Yes
Any other thoughts on Mr. Shelton? Mediocre overall material-wise, but he's got some good ones in there. I liked roughly half the list, iirc.

“Hell Right” is kind of a guilty pleasure for me (something about the melody and production clicks with me) but the lyrics are so cringey.

"Islands In The Stream" was expectedly dreadful.
Look, I don't like "Hell Right" either, but again... it low-key got done dirty here. Seriously, when crap like "My Eyes" and "She's Got A Way With Words" exists? lol ok Jan!

"Hell Right" is a hell no. What a terrible follow-up single to "God's Country," aka one of his best singles in years. Like literally lol @ that single choice.

I didn’t get a chance to come back around for the pre-reveal questions (I guess it still might not be too late!), but all three songs that left in the bottom 3 make sense.
“Islands In the Stream” is such an iconic song that it’s hard not to compare any cover to the original. Blake and Emily’s take is ok but it just didn’t stand out enough amongst the rest of his discography, so therefore it was an easy bottom 2 placement for me.
I for sure would’ve guessed that “Hell Right” would leave somewhere in the bottom 5 as it’s always been quite disliked across the board on Pulse. I forget that this was only released a bit over a year ago as it seems forever and a day now. Anyways, I think this song gets more hate than it deserves as I can see why a handful of people like this song. While I admittedly find it to be a guilty pleasure from time to time, it still wasn’t able to escape my bottom 10.
I also would’ve guessed that “She’s Got a Way With Words” would land in the bottom 5 as it’s yet another universally disliked song on Pulse. With Blake’s If I’m Honest following on the heels of his divorce to Miranda, I just found this song to be completely unnecessary and unwarranted.

Well, since we're only just barely getting started I'll go ahead and post my pre-reveals!
What will be #1? “Austin” seems like a leading contender
What will be #45? I likely would’ve guessed “Islands In the Stream”, “Hell Right” or “She’s Got a Way With Words” all of which ended up exiting already
Which single from Blake’s self-titled album will place the highest? “Austin” possibly for the win with “Ol’ Red” being a top 5 contender
What single from Them Dreamer’ will place the highest? “The Baby” in the top 3 with both “Heavy Liftin’” and “Playboys Of The Southwestern World” possibly exiting in the bottom 10
What single from ‘Blake Shelton’s Bar & Grill’ will place the highest? “Some Beach” in the top 10
What single from ‘Pure BS’ will place the highest? “Home”
What single from ‘Startin’ Fires’ will place the highest? “She Wouldn’t Be Gone”
”Hillbilly Bone” was the only single from the EP of the same name. Will it land in the top half of the ranking? It’ll exit before the top half
What will be the highest placing single from ‘All About Tonight’? “Who Are You When I’m Not Looking”
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Red River Blue’? “Honey Bee” and in the top 5
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Based on a True Story...? “Mine Would Be You”
What will be the highest placing single from ‘Brining Back the Sunshine’? “Lonely Tonight”
What will be the highest placing single from ‘If I’m Honest’? “Came Here To Forget” or “Every Time I Hear That Song”

why is the trash that is "Boys 'Round Here" not in last place?! That song is easily one of the worst songs the Country genre has given us really ever...

Because it is soooo over-the-top that it crosses the line into seeming like parody. To me hating it would practically be the equivalent of hating Montgomery Gentry's "Merry Christmas From The Family" for using all of the redneck tropes that it possibly could, lol  |

"Dive Bar" made it decently high on my list cuz I do low-key appreciate the throwback country style, but it's just produced so badly and I hate Garth's voice lol.
"Turnin' Me On" is also not one of his worsts, but I still find the song pretty grating and mind-numbing.
"My Eyes" is really awful to me, like... I can't listen to it at all. I hate the lyrics and the repetition, and I'm not a fan of Gwen Sebastian or her voice at all.

"Boys Round Here" is really bad yet it was still able to make it into my top 35. Blake has a lot of stuff I hate, lol.

"Gonna" is dreck. I haven't heard this since it was current, but I didn't like it any better when revisiting it for this RD
"All Over Me" is also horrible, that vocal arrangement is actual death. Blake should not do falsetto... ever

Literally me when doing this RD, "where the hell did this song come from?!" Poor wording given the song's title and lyrics but that's actually what I said out loud lol
I have no recollection of this song whatsoever. It's OK, but nothing I'd purposely listen to.
