This is going to be equally the easiest and hardest rankdown I have ever done, lmao. Easily among the best country albums this side of the millennium. So it turns out it was just f**king hard. No easiness to it at all. I think this is one of the very few albums I have ever heard in my life where I genuinely love EVERY track equally. There are songs in my bottom half that pained me to have to place there. My Top 6 or so was brutal to lock down. All that is to say, I have submitted!

Yeah, this felt impossible to rank. Even the good songs are great! Sheesh.

Not sure if he does these, but I'd love to see christianlarson9 rankdown of this stellar album.

What will be #1? "Never Wanted To Be That Girl", although I'd love to see "What He Didn't Do" come for the crown. Either way, they will be the runaway top 2!
What will be #15? One of the less buzzed-about tracks, like "Your Drinkin', My Problem".
Which single will place highest? lowest? "Never Wanted To Be That Girl" and "What He Didn't Do" will be the top 2. "Next Girl" will definitely be lowest, but will still potentially be top 5. It will be below some other fan favorites tho like "29" and "Dear Miss Loretta".
Which duet will do better? ("Dear Miss Loretta" or "Never Wanted To Be That Girl") Both should be top 5, but I see no way that NWTBTG is passed up for victory by anything aside from WHDD!

What will be #1? Rooting for "Never Wanted" but it'll be a close race between it and "Didn't Do" for sure. What will be #15? "All the Whiskey in the World" Which single will place highest? lowest? The top 2 is obvious, and I think "Next Girl" will still be like #4 or 5 due to single bias, lol. Which duet will do better? ("Dear Miss Loretta" or "Never Wanted To Be That Girl") Obvious again, but "Loretta" should do well! I'll guess it lands around #5-6.

I agree with bboat's predictions.
Also given the circumstances, can we hope for a recut of Diamondback from Kelsea?

I won’t try to make predictions (except I do agree that Never Wanted seems likely to be #1) but I am really excited for results! This was such a great album to listen to 😁

Can’t believe I forgot to join this! Rooting for Liability, as well as three singles. Please tag me in the reveals.

Just had to re-listen to "All The Whiskey" to remember it, which is a pretty good indicator that it would be a last-place contender, lmao. This is pretty good! It's just a solid straightforward country song! There isn't anything that really stands out about it on an album with a lot of standouts, so this rank makes sense. Definitely an enjoyable listen tho!

“Whiskey” is such a lovely song but on an album of this immense quality, it unfortunately ends up falling into the background. Not surprised to see it leave first, even if I don’t quite enjoy seeing it.

The intro of Diamondback creates a nice dark mood of the song, but I didn't really enjoy this song itself. "Whiskey" is not the most memorable track, but deserved to be higher than Diamondback imo.

"Diamondback" was definitely not one of my favorites when the album dropped, so I was kinda shocked to see it make it as high as #11 on my final list.
Overall I feel like this one has a certain energy to it that might have been a little more convincing coming from Kelsea Ballerini!

What will be #15? "All the Whiskey in the World"
#15 ~ "All The Whiskey In The World" Points: 173 Average: 11.53 Standard Dev: 2.06
"Diamondback" is my last place because it's the most underwhelming track on the record. It should be a song I LOVE but it's poorly produced. It feels demo-y and unfinished, lacks the punch it needed. I still like it, but the potential for more is there.

A #1 rank! That's unexpected! I definitely don't dislike this, or anything else on this album. This is simply a case where something had to be last place, and this one really just got unlucky! It's not one of the more buzzed-about tracks on the album for a reason, imo. It just kinda got overshadowed by everything else.

Eh, let's eliminate some songs from the original EP instead.

I really don’t like that she is so easily giving up the dog in “Diamondback” and it ruins how I feel about the song. That, and it never references a snake yet makes the title one word.

I LOVE this song and yet it’s at #13 on my list. This is what I meant about this album’s quality!

"Liability" would have been my #1, so I guess good thing I missed this RD and save myself from crying over an early #1 loss. I love the word play, as well as the melody. Also me as an accountant, every time I deal with liability at work, I'm jamming this song in my head lol.

"Lie-Ability" is what "Diamond-Back" tried to be and failed. This is a bop! The hook is very clever and the song is so catchy.
