For Her is just there for me. I like it, but the combination of Everybody Loves You and For Her can feel a little too slow that early in the album, depending on my mood.
Tights on My Boat is one that I'm glad it exists, but it's a little grating with repeated listens. Especially the "gonna get what you got comin'" part repeated.
Set Me Free is one of my favorites, but those kind of songs never tend to do well in these things. And I'm sure a lot of people feel about it the way I feel about For Her.

Stats for #9:
Leaving last in the bottom 4 is a song that actually initially at least was an early top 5 contender. With the majority of the group placing this somewhere within their top 8 and it picking up only 3 bottom 2 rankings, this never exited the top 10.
Best rankdown position: 4 Worst rankdown position: 10 Average: 7.73 SD Rank: 3rd Lowest
Ranking distribution: Top 5s: 4 Top 8s: 12 Top 10s: 7 Bottom 2s: 3

While “Young Man” is the final song to bow out inside the bottom 4, it never in fact dipped any lower than that as it would only pick up three bottom 2 rankings (of which none were for last place). This was able to stay within the top 10 thanks in part to the majority of the group placing this somewhere within their top 8. It did garner some support up top though as bboat11, taylor, ClevelandRox, and recordyear all put this in their top 5.

"Tights on My Boat" legit should've been top half, what is this major upset?!?
The rest of the songs that have been ousted are all different shades of meh/beige for me though so no great losses outside "Tights" imo.

Leaving first outside of the bottom 4 is also the first single to exit. Coming in as our third most polarizing song, five participants lose a bottom 2 while nine others lose a top 5. Unfortunately someone will also become the first to lose their #1 song.

Things have gone relatively well despite this bizarre and ridiculous hatred for Tights On My Boat.

8. Any other thoughts or predictions? i did really well on the last rankdown but i'm guessing this time i won't... :/ Well, this is one prediction that is unfortunately panning out to be correct thus far as you also become our first participant to lose their #1 song. "Julianna Calm Down" had a rough first half as it spent much of its run down in the bottom 3 and even flirted with last place early on. It began to find its footing as we reached the middle of the rankdown though as Devil Marlena Nylund 's top ranking helped give this a much needed lifeline. It continued to slowly climb from there and even made it just a spot shy of the top 5 where it remained for a short time. As the rankdown came to a close though it dipped a bit further back before finally coming to a rest in the back of the top 10. Six participants lose a bottom 2 including austin , Troublemaker , and toomuchboy who all lose their last place song. Back up top we eight other participants lose a top 5 including born 's top 2 and d3vin44 's top 3.

Highs and lows, we fought our wars with silence I'd have called you out, but baby, I knew you'd deny it After so long, I learned to hold my tongue And now that you're done, I get to write this song 7. “Hope It’s Something Good” Track: #11 Songwriters: Martie Maguire, Natalie Maines, Emily Strayer, Jack Antonoff Total: 192 (Tied) Average: 7.38 Std Dev: 2.99 (6th Highest) {Songs Remaining}Everybody Loves You Gaslighter March March My Best Friend’s Weddings Sleep at Night Texas Man

“Hope It’s Something Good" leaves next and along with it recordyear becomes our second participant to lose their #1 song. Coming in as the sixth most polarizing song, eight other participants lose a top 5 including a trio of top 3s from Baby Spice, lady𝓐fan, and bboat11. With the majority of the group placing this either in their top 5 or top 8, this only garnered three bottom 2 rankings including two in last place from schnetzka and Kanenrá:ke. While this did initially start off quite strong and briefly made it into the top 3, it quickly settled back outside of the top 5 where it would remain for the remainder of its run.

Here are the Top 6!
Everybody Loves You Gaslighter March March My Best Friend’s Weddings Sleep at Night Texas Man
I am for sure going to stop there for tonight and will likely pick back up with the reveals either tomorrow or Wednesday. Will "March March" be able to make it into the top 5 or will it be bowing out before then?! Stay tuned to find out!

“Julianna Calm Down” deserved to be in the Top 5. It’s a great song with a great message. Don’t send me @ I didn't mention this above, but if it's any consolation both "Julianna Clam Down" and "Hope It's Something Good" were tied in points! Both also had a #1 ranking each, so I ended up using the standard deviation as the tie-breaker if only because one of the songs also had three additional bottom 2 rankings (of which one was also for last place).

I definitely expected "Julianna" to be top 5! I didn't realize it was so polarizing.

How on earth March March is still alive? I thought it was an obvious choice for the last spot in the album!

Because it's an objectively fantastic song, and not all country listeners have an obsessive hatred of pop songs (although most do). :)

Yeah, I'm surprised to see all the March March hate as I definitely find it as a standout. But with that said, from the looks of things, it looks like it's next.
My question is how Texas Man is still in this. 🤨

Well! I'm shocked by "Tights On My Boat" leaving so early but am otherwise not terribly surprised. The order of the last three songs surprises me a little but I'm not shocked they're in the bottom half - I ranked them near the middle because I love them and wanted them to do well. The only other surprise is how well "March March" has done. Given the reaction when it was a pre-release track, I thought it would be out by now. My Best Friend's Wedding made the top half!!! It feels like something that could've been on folklore/evermore by T-Swift.

Leaving shy of the top 5 is a song that actually spent the majority of its run as a contender to finish as such up until the final moments. Nine participants lose a top 5 while four lose a bottom 2 which includes two questionable rankings for last place.
