Ooooh! A single misses the top five! I was wondering if something like this would happen! "I'll Never Forgive My Heart" didn't fare too well in the singles rankdown iirc (bottom five I think), but a slightly fun fact is that #6 was also the song's country radio peak in early '95 I believe. Chances are "Silver and Gold" is next, but this is quite cool to witness!

I'm disappointed to see that "A Few Good Rides Away" wasn't more well-liked as I think it's one of the better album tracks. Y'all never seem to care much for anything Kix sings as it is, so given that I shouldn't be all that surprised that it left in the bottom 3.
"If That's The Way You Want It" is quite the throwback! And what's that I hear...a steel guitar AND a fiddle?! Those are all but absent in todays mainstream country music I definitely miss hearing them. Anyways, this wasn't likely to make it any further so it's leaving at about the right spot.
"I'll Never Forgive My Heart" has always been one of their more forgotten singles, so it's not at all surprising that it misses the top five. I honestly can't even ever recall hearing it on the radio myself.

This is easily in my top 3 Kix songs from their entire career. Maybe even top 2? It tells such a sweet story in such a unique way, and is actually perfect for Kix's voice.

95% of the time Kix Brooks at his best is comparable to Ronnie Dunn at his worst for me so...

"Silver And Gold" is another one of my favorite Kix-led songs! I could only put it at #7 here because I love most of this album, but this one will easily be in my top 15 when we do the album tracks rd!

Y’all really let “Whiskey Under the Bridge” in the top 3 over “Little Miss Honky Tonk”?! This song is such a jam.

Absolutely! This song is among my favorites from B&D in general so it deserves Top 2 minimum!

In fact, I’d go so far as to say this has gone on to become one of their top ten signature hits. edit: ok, maybe not top ten but it’s definitely amongst the crop of their signature hits

“Whiskey Under the Bridge” in the top two is just...well, definitely not what I was expecting lol.
Irregardless (couldn’t resist!), this is “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind” to lose.

yeah no big surprise there when all but 3 people put "She's Not The Cheatin' Kind" at #1, it is going to easily claim the #1 spot. I love this one and if "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" couldn't be #1 I'm happy that at least this one was #1!
Thanks everyone for partipating. I'll be doing the graphics for Hillbilly Deluxe tomorrow so I can begin those results tomorrow night!

Not much of a surprise lol! “She’s Not the Cheatin’ Kind” has certainly become a signature hit of theirs and has also likely benefited from being more radio friendly in the long run compared to “You’re Gonna Miss Me”. That said, I’ve heard this song so much over the years that I almost always skip it whenever it comes on the radio. It’s a great song, but it’s not a go-to of mine.

What a difference time makes y'all! Well...at least in some cases. I checked again at how each of these singles did and INFMH actually almost rounded out the bottom ten at #42 out of 50. I remember "Little Miss Honky Tonk" getting a tiny handful of support, but being polarizing enough to leave at #34 in the singles rankdown. Therefore, I don't find it that surprising to see LMHT leaving at #4. However, what a bombshell with "You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone" not getting the runner-up spot! :o I remember .indulgecountry not being fond of this one along with maybe one or two others, but it was quite well-loved making the top ten in the singles RD. The song itself totally reminds me of a mellow Eagles song I'd more than likely stumble across on the radio. I also love "Whiskey Under the Bridge" quite a lot; what a jam! Can't believe I don't hear it much on radio these days. What a massively surprising runner-up given it barely made the top half of the singles RD at #24. It looks like more people liked WUTB than YGMMWIG going by the standard deviations. Of course a huuuuge majority of us knew "She's Not The Cheatin' Kind" would win this thing. It almost won the singles RD for crying out loud! Very low burn rate for me and I also find it to be one of the best country songs of the 90s (amongst countless others!). Super stoked to see what Hillbilly Deluxe has in store for us! castleoblivion26 may have saved y'all with that choice btw!

"Cheatin' Kind" is the correct winner!
"You're Gonna Miss Me" sucks. Kix Brooks has such a mediocre voice. It was literally in my like bottom 3 for their singles RD, lol.

Both of these were very bad... but not as bad as the title track. Let's get that one out please!

Oh good! "She Likes To Get Out Of Town" is soooo bad! Although not as bad as "Down By The River", so I'm glad that was the first out!
