How is this so low on an album as mediocre as this?!? I cannot.

I've never been a fan of "Beer Thirty" so I'm happy it is out early.

I figured "Can't Stop My Heart" would get done dirty here.
"Beer Thirty" is fine but it's really not all that memorable even as a single. Glad it was out early.

Lolwut even ARE these ranks? This is far and away one of the best songs on this tragic album loaded with total duds. I am just shaking my head rn.

The more tragic opinion is thinking that this album is full of total duds! It's far from their best, but I still liked everything except for "Temptation #9". The only reason "Hurt Train" would be far and away one of the best songs on the album is because the "riding on a hurt train" hook is more memorable after one listen than many of the other hooks on the album After multiple listens it was very repetitive and didn't really go anywhere.

"Hurt Train" was sung by Ronnie Dunn which automatically puts it in the top half of this record because the vocals didn't completely suck ass.

"Missin' You" has always been rather underrated among their singles. But I have always loved this one a lot! The original is of course amazing, but I think Ronnie added something to it that makes it come to life in a whole new way. Would have loved to see this be in the top 2!
That being said, "Going Under Getting Over You" was one of my favorite album tracks as well, so I'm pleasantly surprised to see it in the top 2!
Still think this is "You'll Always Be Loved By Me"'s to lose tho, rightfully.

"Goin' Under Gettin' Over You" is one of those songs that Ronnie just infuses with the perfect amount of personality! He shines on songs like this. Still shook to see it in the top 2, but it's a nice surprise!
"You'll Always Be Loved By Me" is one that I always forget about in the context of all their big hits for some reason, but every time I have a chance to revisit it I realize what a jam it is... So revisiting it for this album I got that reminder yet again!! So glad to see it win, and in the huge blowout that it deserved!

Missing You is maybe the worse cover song I've heard a country artist do.
The right song won here.

Not at all surprised to see “You’ll Always Be Loved By Me” come out on top as that was the outcome I was expecting going into this album. I just as easily could’ve put this as my top song as well, but I ended up giving the edge to "Goin' Under Gettin' Over You”. This just has that classic B&D sound in which you could take this song and put it on just about any other album by the duo.
As for the lead single “Missing You”, I’ve always looked back on this as more of a miss and an unnecessary cover. It certainly didn’t do the era any favors considering it missed the top 10.

Expected winner for Tightrope but it is a good song so I'm happy!
I don't dislike "Hurt Train" but I never would've pegged it for a top 4 finish!
Red Dirt Road is an underrated album, I'm excited for it! Borderline is great too so this set should be very fun!

Glad that this is out first. It has always been my least favorite from it and one that I’ve always skipped over.

This deserved better than at least 1-2 of the Kix-led songs, at the very least.
