And with that we bid adieu to K.T.'s debut single! I have to admit that "Wall of Tears" initially started out on my list as my bottom ranking song, but the more I began to revisit the song the more I started to like it. So much so, in fact, that I moved it up just one spot shy of my top 10. Because of that I was also quite interested in how this song would be received amongst the group and overall I'd have to say it performed better than I thought it might. I knew it was likely to have some detractors, though, and in this case we have four bottom 5's including two last place rankings from McCreerian and taylor who I'm sure is relieved to see that! That said, it ended up picking up one top 5 and six top 10's making this a solid top 15 contender for its entire run.

Overall this is going alright, but it is absolutely shameful that "Hey Bobby" is still in here.

I see you two are bonding over making frenemies amongst the group! tbh I had no idea what anyone would like so it is funny that we both agreed with that one song (not sure about the 2nd one though lol) I think I've done alright so far with my overall rankings but those 2 seem to be the big outliers. Though I do have "Lonely But Only For You" and "New Way Home" low as well and they are still in. The rest of the songs are all in my top 10 so...

I have no clue why there seems to be so much love for “Live Close By, Visit Often” and so much hate for “Hey Bobby”. Seems so strange to me. Hey Bobby is a jam, LCBVO is a very average K.T. song.

So it sounds like other than disliking "Hey Bobby", your opinions regarding this list are largely incorrect!

Those 3 songs I mentioned ("Live Close By, Visit Often", "New Way Home", and "Lonely But Only For You") are definitely on the lower end of the songs remaining. I wouldn't turn any of them off if any came on so its not like I put things low because I hate them.

I've loved "Hey Bobby" since I was a kid when it first came out. It's always been one of the K.T. songs I jam the loudest and sing to. It was one of her few #1 songs and her performances of it were always flawless. I don't get the hate for this wonderful song.

Do ya wanna huh? Huh? Do ya wanna huh? Do ya wanna huh? Huh? Do ya wanna huh? Do ya wanna huh? Huh? Do ya wanna huh? Do ya wanna huh? Huh?" I'd say the reasons to dislike the song are pretty self explanatory given that! I'm glad you like it though

"Lonely But Only For You" was requested by our very own K.T. superfan Kanenrá:ke himself who was joined by Troublemaker in putting this in their top 5. Despite five bottom 5 ranings, this remained a consistent top 15 contender for the duration of the rankdown and came in as the 8th least polarizing song. It also was able to muster up a handful of top 10 rankings.

Missing the top 10 by only five points, "Hey Bobby" bows out next and along with it Kanenrá:ke loses his top ranking song. It seems to be a love/hate relationship when it comes to this song as it was divided between those who put it in their top 10 and those who put it in their bottom 5 (excluding a lone top 15 from taylor ). Because of that, this also clocks in as our third most polarizing song which shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone given the conversation above lol. Despite the majority of the group putting this in their top 10, it unfortunately was weighted down by six bottom 5 rankings including both castleoblivion26 and bboat11 who put this in last place. This was probably one of the harder songs for me to rank because it just isn't one I've ever felt inclined to revisit much. That said, I really do enjoy watching videos of K.T. performing this song live because I think that is where the song comes to life. I don't think anyone other than K.T. could make this song work as she has the perfect sassy attitude which she uses to elevate songs such as this one.

The first showcase highlights five singles that were released over the course of K.T.'s career that were not included for this Icon Rankdown. “Mary and Willie”Released in February 1991 as the third single from the album Love in a Small Town and peaked at #28.
“Cornell Crawford”Released in September 1991 as the fifth and final single from the album Love in a Small Town and peaked at #63.
“Feeding a Hungry Heart”This was a new song featured on K.T.s first compilation album, Greatest Hits: Songs from an Aging Sex Bomb, and released as the second single in 1993.
“My Baby Came Back”This was released in late 1996 as the second single to K.T.'s fourth studio album "My Roots Are Showing...".
“Come on-a My House”While not a country hit, this song was a top 40 hit on Billboard's Hot Dance Club chart and is from her album Live Close By, Visit Often.

Yeah I'm in the middle on "Hey Bobby" lol. I didn't like it or hate it, I just felt...indifferent towards it. Not a bad song, but certainly not something I would've revisited either.
