My thoughts:
“Yours” and “Blue Tacoma” are both great songs. Hopefully one of them wins.
A few of the other songs were really fun even though a couple fell flat for me.
I think Russell is going to be around for a while and I am glad you did a Rankdown for his first album.

Thank God his second album was an improvement over his debut because at least half of this project was pretty rough.

#11 Billions
Total: 86Average: 8.6 Std Dev: 2.88gardyfan - 4 🌺CountryLineDancer - 5 ClevelandRox - 5 zaclord 🌈 - 8 .indulgecountry - 10 HeyHeyHey - 10 jamesflame - 11 castleoblivion26 - 11 tim - 11 bboat11 - 11Bottom of this RD is Billions. Although I'm not impressed with the lyrics and the production, and it's kinda rough song overall, this song is still a jam to me. (still better lyrics than Minimum Wage). I remember seeing a few posters expecting this to be a single over Every Little Thing, so I thought this could avoid #11.
{Remaining Songs} Every Little Thing Yours Blue Tacoma All Fall Down Float MGNO Would You Love Me Low Key You Look Like a Love Song twentysomething
Coming up is #10. 1 person will lose top 3.

#10 Would You Love Me
Total: 73Average: 7.3 Std Dev: 1.95 (second lowest) .indulgecountry - 3 🌺CountryLineDancer - 6 castleoblivion26 - 7 tim - 7 bboat11 - 7 zaclord 🌈 - 7 ClevelandRox - 8 gardyfan - 9 HeyHeyHey - 9 jamesflame - 10Only jamesflame got perfect ranking, and 4 people ranked it #7, which resulted in the low Std. While I don't like the verse of the song, chorus is very catchy. This is still in my regular playlist, but not played that often. I wouldn't have been surprised if this had been chosen over ELT as his 3rd single, having kinda similar vibe. {(Remaining Songs}
Every Little Thing Yours
Blue Tacoma All Fall Down Float
MGNO
Low Key
You Look Like a Love Song twentysomething Coming up is #9. 1 person will lose top 3 again.

I honestly expected Float to go first! Fun songs NEVER do good. 😂 But I have such a blast with it.

#5 Low Key
Total: 68 Average: 6.8 Std Dev: 2.25 (3rd Lowest!) castleoblivion26 - 2 .indulgecountry - 5tim - 6 jamesflame - 6 gardyfan - 7 ClevelandRox - 7 HeyHeyHey - 8 🌺CountryLineDancer - 8 bboat11 - 9 zaclord 🌈 - 10 Just one point ahead of the last 3 songs is Low Key. zaclord 🌈 lost #10 and all the bottom 2 ranks are gone now. This song has a similar vibe to All Fall Down. Both are not bad songs, but I need to be in a certain mood to enjoy them.
Remaining songs are Every Little Thing, Yours, Blue Tacoma, and MGNO. Remaining scores are 54 53 26 22.
Will MGNO beat some singles? What will the first single to leave? What will be the #1?
I'm gonna hit the mountain now, so will finish the reveal tomorrow.

Will MGNO beat some singles? I think it could beat “Every Little Thing” but I don’t see it placing higher than “Yours” or “Blue Tacoma”. What will the first single to leave? “Every Little Thing” What will be the #1? “Yours”

What will the first single to leave? “Every Little Thing” What will be the #1? “Yours” My thoughts exactly! "MGNO" was actually really really catchy, so I am hoping it can beat "Every Little Thing" at the very least, which is nothing but bland mainstream faceless male radio fodder.

"All Fall Down" was by far the highlight of the album for me, but that isn't saying much because I just can't get into Russell at all. Anyways, I decided to put this at the top of my list because it was about the only thing I found myself wanting to revisit.

"Every Little Thing" is not something that we needed to exercise single bias on y'all.... "MGNO" still being in over most of these is also a bit wtf-worthy. At least I know they'll both be gone next and leave us with a perfect top 2 of the only great songs on the album, lol.

#4 Every Little Thing
Total: 54 Average: 5.4 Std Dev: 2.5 gardyfan - 2 zaclord 🌈 - 3 castleoblivion26 - 3 tim - 4 🌺CountryLineDancer - 4HeyHeyHey - 6 jamesflame - 7 .indulgecountry - 8 bboat11 - 8 ClevelandRox - 9
The first single to leave is his third single, "Every Little Thing". I didn't like this song at first, but I heard this so much after it was sent to radio that I started liking it. Nothing unique, but quite catchy. Pretty sure this wouldn't have stayed this long had it not been a single. And the music video is kinda cringey...
Next up is just 1 point ahead of this song! 1 person will lose #1.

"MGNO" was far and above my favorite discovery on this album. The abbreviation is stupid, but the melody is fresh and a real ear worm. Glad to see it outlast "Every Little Thing", which is the definition of bland. And it's made even worse by the fact that it shares a title with Carly Pearce's incredible breakthrough hit!

Awe I expected a Blue Tacoma win but like seeing Yours was super close!
Thanks for hosting! I had a lot more fun revisiting this album than I thought. :)

If heaven is anywhere it’s right here! “Blue Tacoma” is such a fun song and one of my favorite songs of 2018.

Thank you gardyfan! You da MVP! Both of these slay, but "Blue Tacoma" slays just a bit harder. What a breezy hand-out-the-window jam!

I won't be doing this one but tag me in future ones please. And Chris Janson is a hell yes from me. But I know he's not too popular on here.
