Oh thank god. We Back is atrocious, one of the worst songs that was on the Airplay Chart in the recent years. I feel ashamed of it reaching #1 in Canada

Also, missed the pre-reveal questions, as hard to predict how this plays out, but let me try.
Top 5 - Martina's Wrong Baby, Highway Don't Care, Sober Saturday Night, Red Umbrella, and Martina's Anyway or Half Broke Horses?
Bottom 5 in addition to We Back - Red Solo Cup, Drink To That All Night, L.A. Woman and maybe Sell A Lot of Beer.
Where Does It Hurt and Move On are two songs by Warren that stood out to me. I hope one of them can make it to the top 15, at least.
Overall, Warren Brother's songs were kinda alright, in the middle. Except for those two I mentioned, they weren't as memorable as the songs they wrote. It is beyond my understanding how We Back and Wrong Baby Wrong were written by the same writer.

Thank you for answering the questions. Did want to point out that The Warren Brothers wrote 48 of the 50 songs included in this rankdown. The only two they did not write, they performed. Those were "That's The Beat Of A Heart" and "Hey Mr. President". Also, it is definitely puzzling how someone could help write songs like those you predict to be in the Top 5 and also come up with something like "We Back" or my #50 (which sadly we won't be seeing in the bottom 10...) Sad you didn't like more of their songs because I've been a huge fan of theirs since "Guilty" was released to radio in the summer of 1998. I hope some of you grew to appreciate their music because I do think they are extremely underrated!

Most of them were new to me, and they just didn't give me the strongest impression, which is partially because of this list being very strong, with many hit songs that I enjoy. I didn't like the two songs by them that are my #45 and 46, but the other songs can definitely grow on me.

Guy's Girl is kinda cheap, but I like the verse. The chorus has a room for improvement.

I like Frankie Ballard, but that song was a very poor match for his voice.

I’m not upset about these being gone lol. “We Back” was good but I didn’t adore it and probably will never listen to it again lol. I didn’t have much interest in many songs that weren’t the warren brothers to be honest.

for me I think we got 3 of the bottom 5 correct. Both Jason Aldean songs are rather weak and easily among the worst of this list. Jaida Dreyer's "Guy's Girl" is just not good either and deserves to be at the bottom as well.
I feel as though "Drink To That All Night" is a little overhated, though that being said I'm not upset it is already out, I Just don't think it belongs in the bottom 5 of this list.
Having seen Frankie Ballard live before I have to say he is super underrated and I enjoyed "L.A. Woman". Definitely not my favorite from him but his vocal performance elevated the song for me. Not surprised he is out so early but wish he could have lasted a little longer.
This is where I'm gonna stop tonight, only gonna do 5 reveals a night. Tomorrow night is gonna see a song that spent time in the Top 15 early on in the submissions and another that was in the Top 30 at one point. No one will lose a top 10 tomorrow night, but we will see a few top 15s fall.

"Guy's Girl" is the only one of these I even remotely liked, but it isn't anything *too* special so I'm not really upset.

I think this might be my favorite song I've ever heard from Devin Dawson before so I am sad to see it get tanked to the bottom 10

"You Can't Take It Back" had it's moments but the lyrics suck and her voice leaves a lot to be desired tbh.

What will be #1? I'm gonna give this to Martina's "Wrong Baby Wrong"! Or maybe something like "Sober Saturday Night" could sneak in there too!
What will make up the top 5? Martina's "Wrong Baby Wrong", "Highway Don't Care", "Sober Saturday Night", Tim's "Between The River And Me".....and I'm not sure what else to pick, so I'll say Martina's "Anyway", because it DESERVES, even if it always tends to pick up more tankers than expected.
What will be #50? I would have picked "We Back" anyway, so yay!
Will The Warren Brothers themselves have any songs make the Top 10/20/30? I think that "That's The Beat Of A Heart" stands a chance at the top 10 especially because of Sara Evans! But I also wouldn't be surprised to see it just in the top 20. Otherwise, I'm not really sure what to predict about their songs. In general I did find their output to be stronger relative to this list than I did for the last two songwriter rankdowns, but that's mostly because people like Gretchen Peters and Matraca Berg have never written and given out songs as god-awful as stuff like "We Back" and "Lights Come On", lol.
Any other thoughts/comments? I hope Mark Wills does better than usual here, especially with "Smokin' Gun"! That one took my breath away on first listen!!

I absolutely fucking HATED Can’t Take It Back. The lyrics were some of the worst I’ve heard and annoyed me to no end. This song legit made me angry like I wanted to fight this girl lololol. Her voice was also the most grating thing my ears have encountered. Sorry not sorry.

Montgomery Gentry is more miss than hit for me, and this was a miss.

had to post Martina's version just for fun lol
I actually enjoyed Love and Theft's version, of course no where close to as much as Martina's, but I thought they did a decent job with the song. I don't think it deserves bottom 10 at all so am sad that it falls here. Though it actually only had 3 bottom 10 ranks, most ranks were in the 30-40 range
