Not gonna bother you with pre-reveal questions, but feel free to drop your thoughts, negative or positive!

Got more participants than I expected but hoping to get a little more when I do Southern Symphony in December or so. While I enjoy some album tracks, he made great single choices. 6 out of 11 songs are in my regular playlist. Also, 3 songs are tying...

[HeyHeyHey]

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.

[.indulgecountry]

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

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Okay, I know it's kinda late, but I'll do a bit today, as I might not be able to do tmrw after skiing.

Bottom 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.

Only 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.

This was doing not bad until the last two lists that I got from gardyfan and .indulgecountry ranked this at the bottom. 

Not an amazing song, but kinda surprised that this has 3 bottom rankings.

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. 

[HeyHeyHey]

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”

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.

Fun songs usually do great in rankdowns.....when they're good! You just have a habit of stanning for the mediocre ones

[tim]

"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.

[.indulgecountry]

"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.

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.

Last album track to leave is MGNO. My favourite by Dickerson and very glad it stayed this long. Personally happy that it outranked ELT by 1 point (especially thanks to bboat11 and ClevelandRox ) Super catchy and great line dance song. I still don't know why he decided to abbreviate the title as "MGNO".

As many of y'all expected, Blue Tacoma and Yours are the top 2! Both are amazing, but which one is going to win...?

[bboat11]

"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!

Blue Tacoma beats Yours!! Both are amazing singles and the reasons I follow Dickerson. Yours has a solid melody with strong vocal while Blue Tacoma is straight up catchy summer song! Both songs have four #1 rankers and Blue Tacoma was in everyone's top 4. (Only @cld and tim had #1 other than these two songs.) gardyfan 's  low vote to Yours was the biggest contributor to the victory of BT, which is also his #1!

[ClevelandRox]

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. :)

[HeyHeyHey]

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

[.indulgecountry]

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!

Thank you all for joining!!! While the album might not be the favourite for some of y'all, I appreciate your participations! Southern Symphony RD, which should be more popular than Yours, is coming up around Dec (waiting just in case Dickerson releases a Deluxe edition around that time). I will open the next album RD tomorrow (Frame By Frame)!
