I'm really excited for the Copy That album rankdown! It is sure to be very interesting to see if "6th Avenue Heartache" will be upgraded to the list of rankdown winners, or if it'll be a #2 finisher again! I feel like "Hard To Say I'm Sorry" will give it a run for its money, lol. I'm hoping to see them be the runaway top 2, for sure!!

"6th Avenue Heartache" is just such a lovely song; Sara did amazing with it. Easily among my favorites from Copy That.

surprised to see "6th Avenue Heartache" out so early, though I'll be honest I'm happy it is because it truly doesn't compare to the majority of this list. Sara does a fantastic job on the song so that isn't me knocking on her by any means. There are many great songs on this list so this cover just doesn't hold up to the other songs on this list!

I really need to spend some more time with this album. I’m quite sure that some of these songs including “6th Avenue Heartache” would grow on me some more and in turn I’d likely rank it a bit higher. Looking forward to the album rankdown!

Given that it's a post-prime cover song that wasn't even a radio single, I think it did about as well as it possibly could've (even being a Sara Evans song). She does a very good job covering a great song, but I'm not sure I'd ever seek out her version before the original.

Love Sara but not a big fan of the covers project. That said, this song is the exception! She does amazing with it and it sounds like it would have been a number one hit for her if she recorded it in 2006. Love it!

Good news for .indulgecountry ; he's not alone in the #1 loss club for very long at all! kamala 2024 truther loses his #1 right away too as Reba leaves right on the heels of Sara. Sad to see "I'll Be" bow out already, but at the same time I'm not totally surprised. This is a song that I always expect to be kinda polarizing. It has a bombastic/echoey turn-of-the-century production job that makes it unlike just about anything else Reba has ever done, for better or worse. I could also see the melody being a bit bland or uninspired to some people. However, I love it so much! Reba's voice is mesmerizing on this song I was thrilled to see it at least make it to #2 on its album rd!

It's the end of the road for Taylor Swift in the Revenge rankdown. However, seeing "Babe" nearly make the top half feels just about right. This song is really catchy, and it was nice to have Sugarland back. This was a very fitting #2 finisher in Taylor's Extras rd. I'm really excited to see if Taylor records her own version of this when she re-records the Red album! She's still got "Safe & Sound" and "Highway Don't Care" in the BotB rd

Queen Reba leaves us yet again, this time with my own #1 falling victim to the loss :'( "Forever Love" is one of my favorite songs of all time, tbh. I have never felt as personally connected to a love song as I do to this one Every word shoots directly through my heart and into my soul for some reason. Queen Reba just seems to have that power I guess. It's one of the reasons I love her! Making it even better is the fact that this is one of Reba's most incredible, show-stopping vocal performances! She's a vocalist who typically shows some restraint, not pushing herself to the limits the way that people like Carrie, Martina, Faith etc. are known for doing frequently. That's gotta be one of the reasons her voice has aged so well, lmao. But THIS song, she holds absolutely nothing back! By the time the key changes in the second chorus, the bridge takes her up to the top of her range, and then that epic sustained note happens, I'm leaning into every single moment and covered in goosebumps no matter how many times I listen to the song. And then she goes even higher in the 3rd chorus! I hate seeing this leave right before the top half, but on the other hand Reba never does all that well in these things, so I should just be happy this didn't finish in the 40s alongside all of Trisha's songs... Lol

Our third song from There's More Where That Came From bows out next! This song was actually the #5 finisher in the album rankdown, and yet here it is nearly 10 positions higher than the highest song in the 2-way tie that made it into this rankdown 😂 After only making #5 in the album rd, "One's A Couple" got another chance in the first iteration of castleoblivion26's new monthly Shuffle Rankdown series, where it comfortably finished at #2 behind Rascal Flatts' "These Days". And I am so glad it did, because I have come to love it a lot more now that I have been listening to it more outside of the context of its album! Excited to see how this one does in Lee Ann's album tracks rd

My third heavy top 10 loss of the night comes from us losing Reba once again... The Starting Over album may not be one of her more iconic albums, but it did at least produce "Please Come To Boston", which is one of the more essential album tracks in her career. This is a fan favorite, and widely considered to be one of her smash hits that got away!! It just finished at #4 in her '90s album tracks rd, which is a huge indicator of how well-loved it is among her fanbase It is pretty impressive to see an album track make it this high, but I'm still so sad to see so many of Reba's jams missing the top half in one fell swoop Edit: Actually, this rankdown has 52 songs, so I guess technically "Please Come To Boston" is in the top half

Bonus: "Sparrow" - Ashley McBrydeFinished at #2 in the: Revenge of the Best - Part IV rankdown (host: bboat11 )
"Sparrow" was the song that finished at #2 in our very first New Releases rankdown last April. That narrowly put it into the eligibility for our previous Revenge rankdown.....where it also did astonishingly well for a newer song, pushing several all-time faves aside to finish at #2 yet again!!!! It ultimately came up short of a victory thanks to Reba's "Fancy", but finishing at #2 in RotB is also a pretty huge accomplishment! It will be neat to see how this does in its album rankdown later this year when castleoblivion26 hosts it That album's going to have a few strong contenders, imo.

I am VERY pleasantly surprised to see "I'd Like To Have That One Back" make the top half here!!! George has always had an uphill battle in these things, especially with his more subdued ballads! But this song is such an amazing ballad, and I love it so much His vocals are absolutely perfect for a song like this. The way he wails out "If my lips had said I'm sorry" in the middle of the chorus is just so classic George, I literally could not imagine anyone making this song quite as powerful as he does. I had it in my own top 10, but I'm frankly just shocked and surprised to see it do this well at all, especially considering it got a last place rank.

Right after bowing out at #24 in BotB with "Not A Moment Too Soon", Tim bows out at #24 in RotB with "Nashville Without You".
While fans of this song may be disappointed, just remember that it did literally as well here as his breakthrough hit just did in the other rd! That is a huge accomplishment for a random album track! There is no question that this song is well-loved, and that it would have made a great single from the Two Lanes of Freedom album. This'll be a fun one to watch in the Tim album tracks rankdown when it happens :)
