What will be #1? "Five More Minutes"
What will be #11? Either "Move It On Out" or "Wrong Again" would be my guess.
Which single will place the highest ("Five More Minutes", "This Is It", or "In Between")? They will probably be the top 3, with "Five More Minutes" being the winner. I feel like "In Between" will probably be the lowest single at #3, although I do find the melody to be much more memorable than "This Is It" so I hope that one is lowest...
Which non-single will place the highest and will it outlast any/some/all of the singles? I really liked "Boys From Back Home", so hopefully that one!! Although it could go to something like "Wherever You Are" as well. Don't think any album tracks will infiltrate the singles though.
This is the final non-holiday album in Scotty's discography - where does 'Seasons Change' rank in terms of his albums? I'd say this is his best album so far! It's hard to say because I didn't love any of them, and See You Tonight definitely had a couple higher highs, but it also had some super trashy lows that are way worse than anything on this album. The worst song here would probably be good enough to place in the middle of Clear As Day and See You Tonight for me.
Any other thoughts on this album or Scotty McCreery? Scotty is definitely somebody who is improving over the course of his career! He definitely seems to have more artistic vision as time has gone by. Hopefully it results in albums that continue to get better and better!

What will be #1? Five More MinutesWhat will be #11? Barefootin'Which single will place the highest ( "Five More Minutes", "This Is It", or "In Between")? Which non-single will place the highest and will it outlast some of the singles? Home in My MindThis is the final non-holiday album in Scotty's discography - where does 'Seasons Change' rank in terms of his albums? Agree with what bboat11 said. This is his most cohesive and tightest album. Loved the SYT record, but it was a little bloated and some of the tracks like "Can You Feel It" and "Buzzin'" could've been left off.Any other thoughts on this album or Scotty McCreery? He's underrated! He's put out some really good songs, especially lately since landing on the new label, and he has an above-average voice among the males in the genre.

10. "Barefootin'"ClevelandRox - 4 HeyHeyHey - 6 tim - 9 bboat11 - 9 Kanenrá:ke - 10 🌺CountryLineDancer - 11 castleoblivion26 - 11 .indulgecountry - 11 TOTAL: 71 At #10 is the summer-themed track -- "Barefootin'". Six out of eight participants ranked this in their bottom three and three out of those six ranked it at #11. ClevelandRox was the highest ranker here - placing it all the way up at #4. I actually think this song is really fun! But..."shagging in the sand" is such a strange and bad lyric to put into a song. C'mon Scotty, you are better than that!

WHAT!!!!!!! "Boys From Back Home" is easily the only song glorifying the high school football days that I have ever really liked and connected with on first listen. It summoned all those high school nostalgia feelings perfectly.

I found "Still" to be a bit hard to get into at first.....but it also felt like a song that I would probably start to love if I listened to it a few times in a row. Definitely will be one that is interesting to see how my feelings change over time!

"Wrong Again" was my favorite discovery from doing this rankdown. This deserved top 5 minimum!

The right two songs went out first (even if they were in reverse order of how I ranked them), but this rankdown sure took a sharp downward turn with the next two reveals. Neither of those should be out yet!!
ETA: "Wrong Again" at least got us back on track.

6. "Seasons Change"ClevelandRox - 2 🌺CountryLineDancer - 3 tim - 5 bboat11 - 6 HeyHeyHey - 7 castleoblivion26 - 7 .indulgecountry - 8 Kanenrá:ke - 9 TOTAL: 47 Landing at #6 on the 'Seasons Change' album rankdown is the title and opening track. 'Seasons Change' scored a top 2 rank from ClevelandRox - while Kanenrá:ke is the participant who ranked this one the lowest at #9. I really enjoy this one! I only ranked this one at #7 - but it was close for me between my #4-#7 and this just happened to end up on the lower end of that for me. I really like the positive vibe of this song!

"Wherever You Are" is a fine song, but top 5 on this album? Nah. I have faith that "Home in My Mind" will rightfully be the final album cut standing, however, as it should. Hard to argue with the singles all making it for obvious reasons (single bias), but all of them are genuinely great songs, too. They made the right choices there with radio since they all went #1 for him.

Not too keen on Home In My Mind, and the title track should have been in the top 5 instead. I added "Seasons Change" into my playlist after this RD. It's a solid song.

5. "Wherever You Are"ClevelandRox - 1 🌺CountryLineDancer - 4 bboat11 - 4 HeyHeyHey - 5 tim - 6 Kanenrá:ke - 6 .indulgecountry - 7 castleoblivion26 - 9 TOTAL: 42 Kicking off the top 5 is "Wherever You Are". With this reveal, ClevelandRox loses his #1-ranked song! Nobody else ranked this in their top 3 but three other participants ranked this in their top 5. The lowest rank for this song comes from castleoblivion26 who placed this at #9. I really enjoy this one!! I think this would've been a great single if they wanted to go four singles deep for this album. This reveal means that "Home In My Mind" is the highest placing non-single. Time to find out if it outlasts any of the singles...

So glad my #1 rank helped secure this as the highest non-single!

"In Between" should not be in the Top 3. Neither should "This Is It" tbh, a lot of the album tracks were stronger than those two imo

3. "This Is It"tim - 2 🌺CountryLineDancer - 2 .indulgecountry - 2 castleoblivion26 - 4 HeyHeyHey - 4 bboat11 - 5 Kanenrá:ke - 8 ClevelandRox - 11 TOTAL: 38 Finishing in 3rd place is Scotty's second #1 hit -- "This Is It"! This reached #1 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart in February of 2019. While nobody ranked this at the top of their list, three participants ranked this at #2. I think this is such a great love song and I would not be surprised if I heard it at weddings for years to come. The lowest rank this song received was a #11 from ClevelandRox. This means we have made it to our TOP 2!! "In Between" vs "Five More Minutes"...

2. "In Between"Kanenrá:ke - 1 🌺CountryLineDancer - 1 HeyHeyHey - 2 bboat11 - 2 tim - 3 .indulgecountry - 5 ClevelandRox - 7 castleoblivion26 - 8 TOTAL: 29 Coming in at #2 is "In Between". This song became Scotty's third #1 hit in June 2020. On this list, "In Between" falls short of the top spot by just three points. Two participants ranked this in their #1 spot ( Kanenrá:ke and 🌺CountryLineDancer) while bboat11 and myself placed this at #2. castleoblivion26 ranked this song the lowest down at #8. I really do enjoy this song! I thought it was actually kind of average when I first heard it but it has really grown on me over time and is now one of my all-time favorite Scotty songs! Which means..... 1. "Five More Minutes"HeyHeyHey - 1 tim - 1 castleoblivion26 - 1 bboat11 - 1 Kanenrá:ke - 3 🌺CountryLineDancer - 5 .indulgecountry - 6 ClevelandRox - 8 TOTAL: 26 "Five More Minutes" was ranked at #1 by half of our participants! I love this song so much -- it is one of my favorites of the past couple years. Time sure does fly by and there are so many times in life when you wish you could just pause time and enjoy the moment! The last verse involving his grandfather is so relatable and almost makes me cry when I hear it. This song was Scotty's very first #1 hit in 2018 and it was a well deserved one for sure!
