Many of you were already predicting that "Bitter End" would likely be one of the next songs to exit and therefore this reveal shouldn't come as much of a surprise to anyone. This ended up starting out at the same position it ended at and was a relatively consistent top 10 contender for much of its run. It only briefly fell outside of that as it picked up its first of four bottom 5 rankings. The majority of the group placed this somewhere within their top 10 or in the middle of that. Only four participants lose a top 5 ranking with this song.

And with that "Lullaby" lives to survive another round! How much longer will it be able to hold on though?!

“Lullaby” still being in this quite honestly is the most surprised I have ever been in a rankdown.

Stats for #7:
Exiting next is our first song to be a #1 contender and in turn is also our most polarizing song. This amassed nine top 5 rankings including three participants who put this at the top of their list followed by eight top 10 rankings. Not everyone was in agreement though as this also picked up six bottom 5 rankings including three for last place!
Best rankdown position: 1 Worst rankdown position: 9 Average: 8.30 SD Rank: HIGHEST!

“Lullaby” is appropriately titled- what a snoozefest! Don’t enjoy that one at all and am glad it’s not in the top 5

This love for "Lullaby" is making me nervous... that song bores me to absolute tears; I don't think I dislike any other song of theirs more than that one, lmao. 🤐 LOL AT LULLABY OUTLASTING THESE. WHAT? I am so confused at this point. I had no idea that people liked that audible nap of a song. Are y'all happy now you heartless heathens?!

And just like that “Lullaby” bows out next and takes with it our first #1 losses of the rankdown as ClevelandRox, recordyear, d3vin44 all lose their top-ranking song. This also picked up six additional top 5 rankings including a pair of top 2s from jenglisbe and Kris Kringle. While this started out at the top of the rankdown from the get-go as ClevelandRox was our first participant, it did get sent to the back of the top 10 right thereafter as it picked up its first of three last place rankings from someguy. Just as soon as it dropped it rebounded and managed to sneak into the top 5 even if for only a brief moment. From there on out it more or less maintained its same position for the remainder of the rankdown as it never could quite shake off the two additional last place rankings from LBTrocks and .indulgecountry as well as three bottom 5 rankings. This in turn should also come as no surprise that this wound up being our most polarizing song of the rankdown.

Before I proceed into the top 5, here are some stats to look over for the next six songs: - Only one point separates the next two songs
- Over 146 points separate the #1 song from #5
- The top 3 songs are also the three least polarizing
- Nine bottom 5 rankings remain including lady𝓐fan ’s last place
- Over 30 points separate the top two songs

I can see the complaints towards “Lullaby,” but it wasn’t as terrible as some of the rest of y’all seem to think, so I managed to find a spot for it *just* outside of my Top 10.

The albums third single “Voice Inside My Head” bows out before the top 5 allowing one album track to sneak in. This was a strong top 5 contender through the beginning of its run as it started out inside the top 2 thanks to ClevelandRox. Only in the middle of its run did it dip outside of the top 5 where it would stay for the remainder of the rankdown. This accumulated 10 additional top 5 rankings along the way including a #1 from Kanenrá:ke who becomes our fourth participant to lose their top-ranked song. The rest of the group placed this somewhere within their top 12 with fearlessarrow being the only participant to put this in their bottom 2. And as mentioned earlier, this only missed the top 5 by one point!

I know that I had mentioned about wrapping this up this evening, but I think I'm going to push those plans back another day. As some of you may already know, I lost my dog of 16 years the other day and needless to say it's been a challenge to try and type up some of the commentary for this as I'm just kind of in a mental fog. Anyways, I'm going to just lay low this evening and will return tomorrow to complete this. Thanks y'all.

I was nearly discombobulated for weeks when my beagle passed last summer. Take all the time you need. :'(

I’m horrified the magic that is Voice Inside Your Head missed the top five. Granted, most of what’s left is pretty strong so a number five placement would have been okay with me but this falling below Lubbock (which I also love) doesn’t quite sit well…

Really sorry to hear about your dog tim. I'm surprised that "Voice Inside My Head" missed the top 5, and that "Lubbock Or Leave It" made it in. Both are great though. I was hoping that "Favorite Year" would have done better than it did here. I really hope my #1 wins, but I think it will probably have to settle for #2.

I mean, I didn't realize people over the age of 2 still enjoyed listening to lullabies on purpose? I don't see how it being painfully sleepy is supposed to be a positive aspect of the song, but go awf.

First, I want to thank you all for the kind words as these last few days haven't exactly been easy. While I knew this day was upon us, I can't say I was exactly emotionally prepared for it to happen as so much of my routine over the last 16 years revolved around her. I know we all say this about your fur babies, but there was something incredibly special about Bella and anyone who ever met her would say the same ( .indulgecountry was lucky enough to have gotten to meet her once ). Alright, I promised y'all that we would wrap this up tonight and so here I am! Y'all ready to make nice?!

Stats for #5:
The first song to bow out in the top 5 was also separated by only one point from #6. Despite being our fourth most polarizing song, this did pick up 10 top 5 rankings including a trio of top 2s. Also, our last participant with their last place song will finally see it exit.
