I always want to like "Moon Over Mexico" more than I do. It's like it starts out strong, but then I get bored midway through.

Once again proving her Pulse name power will not help her all that much here, Ariana Grande leaves next with "positions," the title track from her sixth studio album. I think this is a complete bop, and I love Ari's voice on this (I love her voice period). This came onto my chart swinging, debuting at #1 and staying there for four weeks, the second-longest reign at the top in my chart's history thus far.

Definitely expected this at least a good 10 spots higher here, wow. Not complaining since I had it slightly lower than where it ended up, lol. I do still really enjoy this song tho!

if all the non-country is being flushed out, can't "The Man" be part of it at least

Yeah, tbh I wasn't a huge fan of any of Ariana's work in this rankdown. Actually "Rain On Me" is a jam! But her solo work chosen for this rd did nothing for me.

Good spot for "The Man"! It has grown on me a bit through the months, but it still far from my favorite from Lover, and had absolutely no business being a single while "Cruel Summer" was right there!!

Taylor Swift's first song leaves at #34. "The Man" is an ANTHEM that explores how Taylor, her list of previous boyfriends, and incredible business savvy would be perceived by the media and society at large if she were a man. The music video is her directorial debut, and she plays herself...if she were a man. In this case, the name is Tyler Swift, and there is an Easter egg for a Netflix film titled Mr. Americana, referencing her 2020 documentary Miss Americana. In an act of CGI magic, Taylor appears as herself directing this same video while discussing Tyler Swift's acting. Tyler's voice is that of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the music video. This was the final single from the Lover era before she shocked us with folklore. I'm still so bitter that Ms. Rona took our chances of "Cruel Summer" being a single that I have half a mind to say f**k it and dip back into the Lover era and give it the ending it deserves--re-recorded eras and evermore singles be damned!!! After all, it's my chart, I'll do what I want with it

We dip back into the country songs as Carrie Underwood's first song leaves us at #33. "End Up With You" is a fun little bop from her sixth studio album, 2018's Cry Pretty. I'll be honest, when I first heard this when it came out in September 2018, it sounded so different from her catalog that I was turned off by it. Naturally though, I warmed up to it and wanted a summery song from her era that wasn't "Southbound" to be able to chart. Otherwise I would've gone with "Ghosts on the Stereo," and probably should've but...oh well. EUWY charted well, peaking in September 2020 at #1, her second following "Drinking Alone," the remaining CU song.

Oh wow, wasn't expecting Carrie yet! "End Up With You" has grown on me a lot since the album first came out. Now I'd consider it to be quite a guilty pleasure! Unfortunately the competition on this list was too strong for it to be any higher than #30 on my list, but it is still one I have started to jam to much more than I used to!

True...especially since My Savior is a side thing and not the next full-blown country era. But I plan on charting at least one of those songs, plus she's already charting "Tears of Gold" at the moment... But then again if I'm gonna dip back into Lover, there's no reason why I can't do the same thing to Cry Pretty... ;)

Maren Morris leaves next with "Flavor," from her 2019 record GIRL. This is a fun jam, but burned on me right towards the end of its chart run, peaking at #3.

Look at Martina go!!! She only just missed out on the Top 30 of an ALL-GENRE rankdown!!! That's difficult to get, not every country artist has that!!! "Girls Like Me" is such a great song. Martina's voice is sadly not remotely what it used to be, but it's evident that she has been improving and coming back better with each new appearance or music release and that makes me so happy! This song happens to also have one of my favorite country lyrics of 2020: It used to be me hiding insecurities with a cigarette and a bottle of whiskey. Genius line!! Martina made a splash on my chart with this song, debuting at #20 and staying for 20 weeks, peaking at #1 on October 2.

Oop, there she is! I was hoping she might make it a little closer to the top half in light of how well she did in the 2020 Country rd, but this is still not a bad position! It only made it to #33 in her own 50-song artist rd, so it's still doing better against an all-genre crowd than it does against her own material, which is a huge compliment to her material! Lol

I really hate the faux edgy vibe in Flavor from the lyrics to delivery. That's one of terrible trends in current music regardless of genre.

“Daisies” is one of the best pop girl singles of 2020 imo. It’s one of the very few songs that actually puts a smile on my face no matter what :)
“positions” is also a strong single from Ariana. Another earworm.

I wanted to get us into the Top 20 before it gets too late in the evening, so here we are!
Kicking off the Top 30 is "Heaven Down Here," the first of Mickey Guyton's two appearances in this rankdown. This song is perfect for the times, asking God for a little heaven to heal the hell we're experiencing down here and also wondering if He feels the same way about the state we're in as we all do. The music video is well-done, and is the only country music video I can recall that features shots of the gay pride flag AND a Black Lives Matter mural. I really can't get enough of this song, and its performance on the chart says it all: it debuted at #30 on August 7, 2020 and was a two-week #1, the last of 2020 AND the first of 2021. It's her second #1 following "What Are You Gonna Tell Her?" and it finished at #8 in the 2020 year-end chart.
