Stats for #11:
The final song to exit the bottom 3 only slipped back one spot with the last submission as it was set to finish in the top 10. That is also where the majority of the rankings came in at with 11 others putting this in their bottom 3. While this did receive one ranking for last place, it also did garner some support at the top including two participants who become the first to lose their second top-ranked song.
Best rankdown position: 8 Worst rankdown position: 11 Average: 9.04 SD Rank: Intermediate
Ranking distribution: Top 5s: 4 Top 10s: 12 Bottom 3s: 11

Y'all did this one dirty! I mean with some of the songs on this album did you really think this song stood any chance of getting much higher than this? I mean not only did most of this album get released as singles, but the majority is actually rather popular for the most part so it isn't like this song stood any prayer of getting higher than maybe 8th I think. It all depended on how many liked "Heartbreak Town", "Some Days You Gotta Dance" and "If I Fall...". I know that "Cold Day In July" and "Without You" have their share of detractors but I'd say those two are locked for the top 7+ at the very least along with CTMA, GE, SW, RTR. I think one of the 3 I mentioned above about depending on how many actually like the songs could sneak ahead of one of the others but I don't think they ultimately will.

Personally I think a lot of songs on the album are weak for their standards so Iâd have thought that it wouldâve gotten higher than a few of those. I wasnât expecting a top 5 finish but second to last seems pretty lowâŠ

Personally I think a lot of songs on the album are weak for their standards so Iâd have thought that it wouldâve gotten higher than a few of those. I wasnât expecting a top 5 finish but second to last seems pretty low⊠see I definitely disagree as I think this is their strongest album overall, which is why I had no faith in LHF making it much higher than it did. I mean its a great song but the majority of this album is great. I guess you are in the minority in thinking that this album isn't great Anyways here are my predictions on how the Top 10 is gonna play out: 10 - "Hello Mr. Heartache" 9 - "Some Days You Gotta Dance" 8 - "Heartbreak Town" 7 - "If I Fall You're Going Down With Me" 6 - "Sin Wagon" 5 - "Cold Day In July" 4 - "Without You" 3 - "Ready To Run" 2 - "Goodbye Earl" 1 - "Cowboy Take Me Away" It will be fun to see how off I am lol

I was not aware that "Let Him Fly" was a cover and always found it beautiful.

While on the topic, I wonder if there might be enough interest in a Patty Griffin rankdown?

I loooove âDonât Waste Your Heart,â but I can see why itâs not favored as itâs barely a song. Itâs one verse, one chorus, instrumental break, a slight bridge and one more chorus. Itâs like Emily and Natalie wrote half a song and said âweâre done.â But I love the lyrics and sentiment.

Wait a second I completely forgot about this rankdown :â( Iâm gonna watch the reveals!!! I did make sure to tag you for all of the reminders as I wanted to get as close to the same amount of participants we had previously. I'll be sure to tag you along for the reveals though. And on that note...let's pick back up where we left off. I must add that I had no idea the first three songs to exit would elicit such strong emotions! Whether you happen to think this is a strong or weak album, there's no doubt that everyone seems to have an attachment to the songs in some form or fashion. Speaking of...we have our first #1 loss of the rankdown coming up momentarily

Stats for #10:
The next song to leave only reached its highest peaking position with the final submission. In fact, this was initially a last place contender early on and mostly hovered in and around the bottom 3 for much of its run. This gathered up a total of eight bottom 3 rankings which included four for last place. At the other end we have four top 5 rankings which includes our first #1 loss of the rankdown.
Best rankdown position: 10 Worst rankdown position: 13 Average: 9.00 SD Rank: 6th Lowest
Ranking distribution: Top 5s: 4 including a #1 Top 10s: 16 Bottom 3s: 8

As I mentioned above, "Some Days You Gotta Dance" was first covered by Keith Urban's band The Ranch on their self-titled debut album. For those interested, here is the audio for that:

Stats for #8:
The final song to be revealed this evening is our sixth most polarizing song and also our second single to exit. While it garnered about an equal amount of top 5s and bottom 3s, the majority of the group wound up placing this somewhere within their top 10. Unfortunately though not one but two more participants will lose their #1 ranked song.
Best rankdown position: 6 Worst rankdown position: 11 Average: 7.93 SD Rank: 6th Highest

Most of the predictions had either "Heartbreak Town" or "Some Days You Gotta Dance" as being one of the first singles out and therefore the previous two results shouldn't come as much of a surprise. I have to admit that I often forget that "Heartbreak Town" was released as a single if only because I don't really have any recollection of hearing it much on the radio.

This is going pretty well, although "Some Days You Gotta Dance" could have made it a bit higher cuz JAM.

Well, I'll take FIVE perfect rankings in a row to kick this off!
"Heartbreak Town" ruined my streak, but I figured it would be next so I'm not entirely surprised.
