1. What will be #1? Wide Open Spaces is most likely but I could see Thereβs Your trouble getting it.
2. What will be #12? One of the last three tracks
3. Which songs will be in the top 5? The singles - but tonight the heartacheβs on me will be the first single to go - and may miss the top 5 in favour of something like never say die or loving arms.
4. Which songs will be in the bottom 3? 3 of the last 4 tracks
5. What song will be most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most: not sure really. Tonight the heartache will be the most polarizing single Least: Wide Open Spaces
6. Which of the singles will place highest? (I Can Love You Better, There's Your Trouble, Wide Open Spaces, You Were Mine, Tonight the Heartache's On Me) Wide Open Spaces
7. Which of the singles will place lowest? Tonight the Heartache's On Me
8. What will be the two highest-placing album tracks? Loving Arms, never say die

Lol for the record I like every song on this album, but if "WOS" wins it will not be because of me.
"Tonight the Heartache's on Me" was the best single from this album.

This is literally a perfect album from front to back, why are you like this! Say whaa? Fly and Home are juat better... Those are my top 2 albums from them as well. Home in particular might be my favorite Country album of the 00s. A lot of female Country acts were sidelined in one way or the other with that post-9/11 neo-traditionalist wave, but they managed to take it and make it play to their strength. I fully expect to be the lowest rank on the title track because I've always just preferred their other big hits (and for Home, it might be the same for Landslide), but I still like every song on this album. I listened to it last year for the first time in many years, and while I don't think it's at the same plateau as Fly and Home, it was a bit stronger than I'd remembered it.

Meh regarding the comment on title track for this one, but Landslide is definitely overrated.

Fly is my least favourite of their albums. Home might be my favourite but I donβt listen to it a ton. Taking the long way is probably my go-to and itβs the one that has my favourite of their songs.

1. What will be #1? "Wide Open Spaces", although tbh to me that feels disappointingly obvious. All of their albums have an "obvious" winner that is competing up against like 5 other songs that also deserve to win, so I would love to see there be some stiff competition near the top of these albums, at the very least! 2. What will be #12? "Give It Up Or Let Me Go" is literally the only option here. 3. Which songs will be in the top 5? Wide Open Spaces, You Were Mine.....let's be real, the five singles Although I would looooooove to see "Loving Arms" and "Once You've Loved Somebody" sneak in as well. 4. Which songs will be in the bottom 3? "Give It Up Or Let Me Go", "Let 'Er Rip", and probably "I'll Take Care Of You".....although that one is gonna kill me when it leaves :'( 5. What song will be most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most: "I'll Take Care Of You". Least: Maybe "Loving Arms"? I could see all of the singles randomly picking up low ranks that make them polarizing even as they easily dominate the upper regions of this rankdown, lol. 6. Which of the singles will place highest? (I Can Love You Better, There's Your Trouble, Wide Open Spaces, You Were Mine, Tonight the Heartache's On Me) "Wide Open Spaces"! Although "You Were Mine" would make an excellent underdog story here ;) 7. Which of the singles will place lowest? Maybe "I Can Love You Better"? They're all so iconic tho, I don't think any will do 'badly' here. 8. What will be the two highest-placing album tracks? "Loving Arms" and "Once You've Loved Somebody". They have always been so iconic in my mind that I am always shocked to be reminded that they weren't singles! "Never Say Die" better give them a run for their money too... 9. Any other thoughts or predictions? This album is easily their most consistent, from a quality standpoint. It was SO hard for me to rank, as my entire top 11 is more or less equal in my eyes! The rest of their albums will be much easier for me to rank, lol.
