I'll do some predictions!!!
1. What is going to be #1? Lmao "Small Town Hypocrite", and it will be an absolute slay moment!
2. What is going to be #13? Probably the one short interlude that's not an actual song. Was it "Gold"?
3. Which single (Family Tree, Small Town Hypocrite, and Just Friends) is going to do the best/worst? Best will obviously be "Hypocrite". The others should be a bit more competitive for which will do worst! I'll go ahead and give worst to "Family Tree". Even though "Just Friends" will be more polarizing, I do think that more people like that one which might help it to at least outlast FT.
4. What is going to be the most/least polarizing song? Most: Maybe "Just Friends"? Could also be something like "Preciatcha". Least: "Small Town Hypocrite" and "Redhead".
5. Which album track is going to do the best? "Redhead"!!! "Forged In The Fire" should do pretty well too, but I expect Hippo and Reba to be the top 2.
6. Any other thoughts/predictions? It's a shame that Caylee's promotion team has more or less let her be forgotten. With this album she could easily become either a radio mainstay or an artist that radio refuses to touch based on which songs are released, and so far they seem to have chosen the latter route... With "Redhead" followed by "Hypocrite" she could potentially be right there alongside Ingrid Andress, Tenille Arts, Lainey Wilson, and Callista Clark in terms of newer females who have been scoring their first big hits in the past year with at least a little bit of potential to stick around...

#13 Gold
Kicking off the reveal with "Gold", the shortest song in the album. Darkest Hour and bboat11 correctly predicted this song to be the last spot. 10 out of 14 participants placed this at the bottom, which led to this song being the third least polarizing song. CLD's ThoughtNo surprise here! Not much to say about this one, as it's not an actual song to me. I guess Caylee's vocal is good per usual, but this kind of weak production never works for me. Still, the transition from this to New Level Of Life was distinct.  |

This was a nice interlude into "New Level of Life," but yeah, there was so no other option but last for this on an album full of strong fully-fleshed songs.

can't imagine
a) someone disliking this album enough to rank this outside the bottom 5
b) two songs having lower SDs than this

It's a beautiful song but it definitely feels like an interlude compared to the rest of the album. Easy last place option.

#12 “Sister”
Next up is Sister. .indulgecountry and SHOOTER scored two perfect rankings in a row. This received a few decent rankings from samo🦕 and dgarcia3377 , but overall, it was placed somewhere between 9 ~ 12. CLD's ThoughtThis song is alright, the verse and the production are working well to build up this unique mood of the song, that would suit well to the lyrics, but the chorus sounds pretty weak ( ClevelandRox also pointed this out when submitted the list).  |

Yeah, it's a nice sentiment but it doesn't quite pack the same punch as most of the album.

#11 “Just Like You”
This time, rather polarizing song is leaving! Sad news for ClevelandRox and SHOOTER , who lost their top 5s here. On the other hand, interestingly, @d3vin and dgarcia3377 , both of whom placed "Gold" at #8, saved the #13 for this song. CLD's ThoughtI found this song to be pretty catchy. At the same time, the development of the song, melodically and lyrically, left me with relatively weak impression, compared with other tunes in the album. The bridge part was really powerful though.  |

I knew this one would be polarizing but it's so damn catchy to me. Low key surprised Just Friends outlasted it.

#10 “Preciatcha”
Another sad news for ClevelandRox , who just lost the #1 and #2 songs in a row... On the other hand, bboat11 got rid of his #13 here while SHOOTER scoring another perfect ranking. This was at #1 spot briefly after the ClevelandRox 's list. CLD's ThoughtThis song was definitely memorable and clever. The melody has the room for improvement, but still pretty catchy. Caylee's vocal did not sound as strong as other songs, however. Haven't added this song into my regular playlist, but it is growing on me more and more, and I might add it soon. And this pink dress in the music video is blindingly bright!  |

#9 “King Size Bed”
The second most polarizing song is leaving! Darkest Hour was not too wrong to predict this to be the most polarizing one. This one received five top 5 rankings and seven bottom 3 rankings. d3vin44 's final list helped this song pass Preciacha and take #9 spot. CLD's ThoughtThis song has a great production that goes well with the dark mood created by the lyrics. As much as I enjoyed the lyrics, I did not like the melody of the song at all, and thus, my #12 ranking. As most of the songs in this album had a memorable melody, and I usually focus a little more on melody when ranking songs, this song did not stand a chance against other songs in the list. To reiterate, the lyrics are great.  |

While I could keep going, I don't want to rush too much, so I will take a little break, so that y'all can drop some comments on the reveal so far! Might come back tonight, or maybe tomorrow.

“King Size Bed” and “Preciatcha” both deserved better.

I love this album so much and have to say the results are going great thus far. I do love "Preciatcha" but I could only put it at #8 so it being #10 isn't the worst thing. Am happy to see "Just Friends" hanging in there because I do love that one, don't expect it to make the top 5 but happy it is in the top 8!

someguy - 8Kanenrá:ke - 9 ClevelandRox - 9 SHOOTER - 9 d3vin44 - 9 dgarcia3377 - 12 samo🦕 - 12 Kicking off the second reveal day with “New Level Of Life”! This is the last track of the album, and Gold exists as an intro to this song. Two participants placed it in the bottom 2, while I am the only one that ranked this in the top 3. d3vin44 and dgarcia3377 ranked this song lower than its intro "Gold". CLD's ThoughtDisappointed!! My Monday morning isn't good at all. I really like this song. I love the intro sound (yep that's the best part), it's very infectious and pleasant. While the delivery and lyrics might not be as strong, the overall melody is very catchy, and it's a pleasant way to end the album. One more time, this intro sound is amazing.  |
