They told me I was out there, tried to knock me down Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me 'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies They said I'm going nowhere, tried to count me out (count me out) Took those sticks and stones, showed 'em I could build a house They tell me that I'm crazy, but I'll never let 'em change me 'Til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies!40.

Katy Perry kicks off the Top 40 with her lovely song "Daisies," taken from her 2020 album Smile. I used Taylor Swift's appearance in the film Cats as a hint because Katy and Taylor are known for their previous big feud that they recently put behind them, Katy Perry had a cat named Kitty Purry, and there was a huge rumor at the time that "Daisies" was to be a collaboration with Taylor. I loved this when it came out in May of 2020. The lyrics hit home especially right now, and the production is so lush and lovely. This debuted on my chart in June at #26 and peaked at #1 on October 9, charting for 21 weeks total.

I'm usually not a fan of religious songs, but "There Was Jesus" is pretty much a country song and Dolly makes everything better, so it was a nice discovery!

At #39, we see the second of two Christian songs--AKA the second of Dolly Parton's appearances in the rankdown, eliminating her from the competition. "There Was Jesus," like literally everything, was made even better when her voice was slapped on it. I can imagine this would be a bonafide hit at Christian radio. I love Dolly, so I love this song lol. It debuted on my char at #49 on July 24, 2020, and just peaked at #1 on January 8, 2021.

I liked both of the religious Dolly features a lot, especially due to Dolly's contributions, but it was so hard to decide where to rank them on this list! They were kinda outliers, thematically and sonically, lol. I'm still not sure if I overranked them or underranked them!

SHOOTER is correct that it's Sara Evans leaving at #38, with "If I Can't Have You," from her 2020 covers album Copy That. The song in question is a cover of the song by Yvonne Elliman, a #1 song from 1977 that was written by the Bee Gees for the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. This song is okay, and I love her vocals, but I've honestly burned over time on this song. It gets rather repetitive and you really have to be in a dancing mood to spin this one, lol. This song debuted at #39 on the chart and peaked at #2 on July 31, where it stayed for three weeks, blocked by Taylor Swift's "cardigan." It speaks to the strength of this list that .indulgecountry is the highest ranker for this song and still didn't have it in his Top 10...and he stans Sara like bboat11 stans Martina McBride and I stan Carrie Underwood!!!

Normally haven't been able to get into Orville Peck prior to this, but I LOVE this one. A lot of it is admittedly because of Shania Twain, but even he doesn't ruin this one. I wish I liked his voice more, but he just unfortunately can't sing all that well.

Betty White will be 100 years old in January 2022. Queen Elizabeth II is the longest-reigning monarch, having been on the throne since 1952. In June 2022, she will become the first and only monarch to celebrate a Platinum Jubilee, and this April she will turn 95 years old. They are legends and haven't died yet and their legacies ensure their spirits never will--so naturally, Orville Peck & Shania Twain's "Legends Never Die" is the next song to leave!!!
I love this song!!! It's such a great jam, and Shania sounds amazing. I live for that rasp in her voice! This was also a great introduction to Orville Peck, and artist who I will be checking out in the very near future. This is also a #1 hit, having just hit the summit on January 22, 2021!

I can still see your blue sky Blue eyes hanging on a mango kiss Hear the waves and the breeze and the Joshua trees Was just about as good as it gets Taste the salt on the rim, feel that sand on your skin And the wild in the wind like I'm right there again
Under a moon over Mexico Holding onto you as the low tide rolls Whatever that buzz was, I ain't felt it since But I can't seem to let it go And there was a shine in the dark, a flame from a spark And a lime in a Pacifico Under a moon over Mexico.36.

Luke Combs leaves us at #36 with "Moon Over Mexico," a song that I just love so very much. It did manage to eventually burn on me but I still love it very much and think it would've made an amazing single from this album, but alas I don't think that's going to be happening. Sorry to HeyHeyHey who becomes the first person to lose their #1 song!

I wish I like Daisies more but the vocal effect at the repetition of DAISIES just don't sound good to my ear. Legends Never Die reminds me of You and I a bit, but I don't like Shania's vocals lately and Orville Peck isn't that good imo.
