And there we have it folks! While it likely comes as no surprise to anyone that these were the top 2 songs, it might come as a bit of surprise to see that "Sleep At Night" was perched up on top for almost its entirety leaving "Gaslighter" as the runner-up all along! Nonetheless, both came in as the two least polarizing songs of the album with recordyear being the lone participant not to put "Sleep At Night" in their top 5 and only four participants leaving "Gaslighter" outside of theirs. All in all, "Sleep At Night" amassed thirteen #1 rankings compared to "Gasligther" which garnered nine.

Hopefully there will be another The Chicks album in the near future for you host a rankdown for. At least one can hope lol. Let's hope so indeed! And yes, this completes the album series which we actually started nine months ago yesterday. I'd like to thank all of the participants and also everyone that followed along the way! I know I had mentioned that I wasn't planning on hosting any rankdowns during the last two months of the year, but...I would like to have the album tracks rankdown completed all within the same year and so I'm currently planning on launching that here very soon!

YAS! The right song won! "Gaslighter" is a fun bop, but "Sleep at Night" is just too damn good, especially those SCATHING lyrics. Masterpiece.

I love you -- one of my Pulse Survivor besties -- but I just can't get into "Julianna Calm Down" at all. It's a really random song, but when put up against a catalog as strong as theirs, its way down towards the bottom for me. ๐ข I just love how theatrical it is. Makes for a perfect headphones song too!

{Thoughts}12. While I find the melody to be quite boring (on the same level as the back half of Taking The Long Way), I still thought it would be liked a bit more. Maybe I am just swung by Rosalina Nylund when I made the predictions lol 11. The notes of โdecencyโ always hit me in the feelings. The steel guitar is also quite nice, but figured out it being a low-key album closer will hurt its chances here. 10. Like a previous comment, this song is too repetitive to be good. Also the title being hyper-specific but the lyrics are painfully broadโฆ 9. Again quite a low-key song in the latter half of the album, but I like the idea of the lyrics, which makes this a more unique divorce album. 8. The pop production of this is so mediocre. Also Julia Michaels co-wrote soโฆ 7. Always love the melody of this one, although I have read several comments saying this is Lana Del Rey lite lol. 6. Again like the framing of the song. 5. I have heard this song is about (TW) sexual assault? Itโs not like I am a huge fan of ballads but like I said above, the ballads here are better than the upbeat songs lol 4. Yeah this is definitely the highest SD, slightly surprised it skewed towards the upper side though. The beats are definitely from Jack Antonoffโs stock, but the latter half with country instruments sound quite cool. Also poor bboat has to see his #1 leaves before #12. 3. I just donโt think Natalie Maines is the good vocal for this. This would be much better in St. Vincent/Annie Clarkโs hands who played the electric guitar in this one. 2. This has grown on me a bit but not much to tempt me to put in top half ranks. 1. So it wasnโt even that close.Really though everybody else put it in top 4โฆGuess I will have to re-listen this because I still donโt like it as much as other songs in the album.
