Bonus: "Walkaway Joe" - Trisha Yearwood ft. Don Henley Finished at #1 in the: Best Of The Best - Pt IV rankdown (Host: bboat11)
"Walkaway Joe" was the beautiful, popular, and lucky song that managed to rise to the top of our previous Best of the Best rankdown! By definition it had to have already won a rankdown before to be used in that rankdown at all, which is what it did on Trisha's Hearts In Armor album rankdown, so it was ineligible to be used again here. But it deserves to be honored for joining the hall of multi-rankdown winners by winning such an iconic, competitive rankdown!

"What Made You Say That" is a catchy song that gets stuck in your head really easily if you're not careful!!! This song deserved to win her debut rankdown, which it did in a landslide Unfortunately songs that come outside of an artist's prime rarely do that great in these things, and no exceptions were made for this one.

She still has "Any Man Of Mine" in this thing. "What Made You Say That" is a 90s bop and that chorus gets into my head for days every time I listen to it!

Unfortunately 🌺CountryLineDancer is already our first person to lose their #1 :'( I'm sorry 🌺CountryLineDancer!!!! I don't think anyone warned you that these things usually turn out to be a huge ass mess 😂 You had to learn that fact the hard way! Since these rankdowns incorporate the best songs of every rankdown that we do, there are always inevitably songs that get screwed over. Just remember that being included at all is an honor that very few songs ever get blessed with :) "Hard To Love" is by far my favorite song of Lee Brice's career. The way the instruments layer in in the intro is so cool, and that chorus is pure ear candy. And vocally I think he sounds better here than he ever has. I can understand overplay doing it in for people, but I was so glad to see it win Lee's singles rd!!!

"Used To The Pain" is such a great song!!! Although if one of Tracy's songs was going to win that rankdown, it should've been "If I Don't Make It Back".
Still, that song did make it to #3, and the fact that he had two songs make the top 3 in what is essentially equivalent to a year-end Rankdown is an insanely amazing accomplishment for a less-beloved-by-Pulse artist like Tracy Lawrence! I cannot wait to see how these two incredible songs do in his singles rankdown that I do later this year! They may have flopped on radio, but it is clear from their reception in 2004-2006 Hidden Gems that they are songs that Pulse will get behind!

I still can’t believe that “Used to the Pain” edged out ahead of “If I Don’t Make It Back” which is the better song of the two. The latter definitely deserved to be in this rankdown more-so than the other. That said, Tracy’s songs seem to really connect in the rankdowns thus far and I think it’s long past time for bboat11 to launch a singles rankdown for him!

"Gone As A Girl Can Get" is catchy, but I never remember it when thinking of George's all-time best hits. I'm not at all surprised to see it finish in the bottom 10 here, considering how George usually does in these things. There are several album tracks from Holding My Own that I look forward to seeing how well they can do in his '90s album tracks rankdown though!

Ho-hum what a surprise to see another George song leave already. I must say though that “Gone As a Girl Can Get” made it a bit further than I suppose I would’ve guessed it to. This is such an underrated jam from George’s early 90s catalog that likely gets overshadowed by his work before and after, but this is just one of those songs that has never gotten old even after all of these years.

And Terri Clark rounds out our bottom 10 with one of her newer jams!! I will echo what I said in the Shania reveal about songs that fall outside of an artist's prime usually having an uphill battle in these things... "I Cheated On You" is such a delightfully dark yet wry revenge tale where Terri finds out her man is cheating on her, so she decides to take matters into her own hands and cheat on him right back It's such a fun premise, and has the trademark energy that has always made Terri's music so great. I'm really excited to keep diving into her album series!

“I Cheated On You” has certainly grown on me a bit more over time and I’d even admit to underranking it here some. There’s still something about this song that I can’t quite get past, but I can see why quite a few of you seem to enjoy it.

I have to say one of the biggest outliers in the bottom 10 is Shania’s “What Made You Say That”! That song is such an infectious earworm even despite it being before her hit-making time. She and that song deserved better.

Just came back from skiing to find out that my #1 is already gone :'( My #4 might be in danger but #2 and #3 should last long. Looks like I can do bad at RD without Chase Rice or Dylan Scott 😂
Hard To Love is an amazing song, the best song by Lee Brice by far. I listen it quite frequently but never got tired of it. Really enjoyed Memory I Don't Mess With or One Of Them Girls as well, but still nothing can beat this song.

Bonus: "Tequila" - Dan + Shay Finished at #1 in the: Dan + Shay: Dan + Shay album rankdown (Host: ClevelandRox)
Dan + Shay's "Tequila" has proven to be one of their most consistent rankdown contenders! This song defied all odds to climb all the way up to #2 in the 2018 year-end Country rankdown, but entered the hall of rankdown winners for the first time a few months ago when it won their self-titled album rankdown. This song has already been used in RotB after that 2018 finish, which means it was not eligible to be used again here, but it is absolutely worthy of its bonus feature! Lol. Y'all might need to give ClevelandRox some encouragement if you want him to continue the Dan + Shay album series, 'cause I think he's sad that we trash them so badly all the time...

Well their self-titled album is their worst so I think Pulse will view them more favorably if we do their album rankdowns backwards.

Bonus: "Burning House" - Cam Finished at #1 in the: Cam: Untamed album rankdown (Host: lady𝓐fan)
"Burning House" was our VERY FIRST COUNTRY RANKDOWN WINNER!!!!!! It won the 2016 country year-end rankdown, which was the very first country rankdown, hosted by gravey before he was cancelled! It had a several year lull, before it FINALLY became a multi-rankdown winner during Cam's debut album rankdown, hosted by lady𝓐fan! It was not eligible because of course it was in our very first Best of the Best rankdown, where it finished at a somewhat lackluster #30, lol.

Kicking off our top 40, we lose the winner of the Female Flops of 2019 rankdown! This seems only fitting, considering the #2 finisher "Redesigning Women" bowed out at #45 in the Revenge rankdown the other night.
"Got My Name Changed Back" is great, but I just never find myself wanting to seek it out. That's kinda the way I've felt about all of the Pistol Annies' music. It's like I enjoy each of their solo work more than their group output. (Same with the Highwomen, actually!)
