I might not lol. I want to get this done today but also have a concert out of town tonight sooo not sure I'll have time to do this fully! Might have to submit tomorrow. Go enjoy your concert and worry about this tomorrow! I'll be more than happy to allow for a bit more time if it means we can get more participants The extension definitely helps, lol. I'll be working on this, but I'm also sick rn, so it might take me a couple days but I'll have my list in by Friday night for sure.

I made it about halfway through earlier in the week, but then I went to visit family for a few days. So now that I'm back home, I'll finish the second half of this tomorrow! :)

We all know how floppy they are when it comes to 90s country I'm honestly hoping to mitigate the damage from both of them with my last-minute list!! Although at this point I am about 10 songs away from finishing, so idk if I can take longer than taylor even if I tried...

Well, it looks like it's all going to come down to taylor as bboat11 managed to get theirs in first. I'll be bracing myself waiting to see what kind of last-minute damage will be done.

Any damage that I DID do should be automatically forgiven just for the taste of my Top 10. But especially for the taste of the #1 I chose. ;)

And we’re officially closed for submissions. I never thought it would quite take this long to get here, but here we are nonetheless! I want to thank each one of you for taking the time to do this as I know it was stretching the comfort zone of what most you all are used to hearing on modern country radio, but I also suspect that you found yourself quite familiar with what you heard. On that note, look for some pre-reveal questions coming your way here in the next couple of days! I’ll likely begin reveals this weekend sometime, so sit back, settle in, and have a drink or two along the way! Final Participant List: 1. CoJoFan 2. tim 3. Kanenrá:ke 4. ClevelandRox 5. kw9461 6. someguy 7. 🌺CountryLineDancer 8. castleoblivion26 9. Cody Wants Out... 10. .indulgecountry 11. ccarter1023 12. gardyfan 13. LBTrocks 14. bboat11 15. taylor

I'm glad that I managed to submit the list earlier than usual for this. I may have done some questionable rankings, as this was not the era I was familiar with, but I don't feel too responsible for the final result in this way :)

1. What will be #1?Oooh...* suck through teeth*... "You Lie"? 2. What will be #101?Hmm... very wild guess of "Honky Tonk Blues". 3. Which songs will be in the top 10?"You Lie", "I'm Over You", "Love Without End, Amen", "Two Dozen Roses", "Chains", "She Came From Fort Worth", "When I Call Your Name", "Help Me Hold On", "Next to You, Next to Me", and "Walking Shoes". 4. Which songs will be in the bottom 10?"Honky Tonk Blues", "Sooner or Later", "It's You Again", "Nobody's Talking", "I Can't Turn the Tide", "Til I Can't Take It Anymore", "I Could Be Persuaded", "Western Girls", "That Just About Does It", and "Wrong". 5. Which songs will be least polarizing? "Where've You Been", "Quittin' Time", "Many a Long and Lonesome Highway", "This Side of Goodbye", and "Little Girl" Most? "Runnin' with the Wind", "Don't Go Out", "A Woman in Love", "Pass It On Down", and "Not Counting You". 6. Which ‘Class of ’89’ artist will be eliminated first and who will be the last one remaining and/or have multiple songs left? (Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Alan Jackson, Lorrie Morgan, Travis Tritt)Eliminated first: hate to say this, but Lorrie Morgan? Last one remaining: Mary Chapin Carpenter 7. One artist or group have two songs in the top 10. Who might that be?Shenandoah I guess? Those two #1 hits of theirs were huge. 8. Clint Black’s “Nobody’s Home” topped Billboard’s year-end country chart for 1990. How will it do here?Should make the top quarter, hopefully. 9. George Strait was the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and would go on to win for a second time in 1990. Which of the three songs included will exit first and which will leave last? (Drinking Champagne, Love Without End, Amen, Overnight Success)"Overnight Success" will (hopefully) leave first and I can see "Love Without End, Amen" in the top ten. 10. Any other thoughts or predictions?These are the hardest to predict. Nonetheless, it'll be a treat to watch! Anyone want a snack?

1. What will be #1? "When I Call Your Name". Honorable mention to "You Lie", but Reba typically proves to be polarizing enough to have trouble making it any higher than the 5-7 range in these year-end rds. Hell, maybe "Five Minutes" could do it??! 2. What will be #101? Wow, I'm a little surprised to see on that point value graph above that we had a couple runaway bottom 2 contenders! I didn't feel like anything in this list was obviously worse than anything else, unlike the modern year-end rds. That being said, I predict the Garth Effect combined with it being one of his more forgotten hits will lead to "Not Counting You" succumbing to last place! 3. Which songs will be in the top 10? Lorrie's "Five Minutes", Travis' "Help Me Hold On" and "I'm Gonna Be Somebody", George's "Love Without End Amen", Reba "You Lie", Vince "When I Call Your Name"...maybe a shocking Garth entry with "If Tomorrow Never Comes" or "The Dance"?!!? "Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart" should stand a chance as well. Idk, maybe "Too Cold At Home" or "My Arms Stay Open All Night" could sneak in too. 4. Which songs will be in the bottom 10? Lord, idk! I suspect we'll see several of the ambiguous forgotten men with no notable difference between them go out here, such as Paul Overstreet, Dan Seals, Lee Greenwood, etc. Marty Stuart should be eliminated here as well. I hate to say it, but Conway Twitty deserves to leave here as well. "Crazy In Love" was not good. Of course I'm just throwing names out, but I frankly have no idea! 5. Which songs will be least polarizing? Most? Least: "Five Minutes", "When I Call Your Name", "Chains". Most: "Friends In Low Places", "Little Girl". 6. Which ‘Class of ’89’ artist will be eliminated first and who will be the last one remaining and/or have multiple songs left? (Clint Black, Garth Brooks, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Alan Jackson, Lorrie Morgan, Travis Tritt) Garth would usually be an obvious answer for first to leave, but "The Dance" and "If Tomorrow Never Comes" should keep him alive well beyond his usual ceiling. I'm going to say that Clint will be the first to go! Idk if Travis Tritt will be the last remaining, but I do think he will be the last with multiple songs! Lorrie Morgan will probably be last remaining, as "Five Minutes" will probably keep her alive beyond the biggest hits from any of these others. 7. One artist or group have two songs in the top 10. Who might that be? I'm actually gonna go with Travis Tritt!!! "Help Me Hold On" and "I'm Gonna Be Somebody" are both among his best songs! 8. Clint Black’s “Nobody’s Home” topped Billboard’s year-end country chart for 1990. How will it do here? I'm gonna predict it'll be somewhere between #30 and #40. 9. George Strait was the reigning CMA Entertainer of the Year and would go on to win for a second time in 1990. Which of the three songs included will exit first and which will leave last? (Drinking Champagne, Love Without End, Amen, Overnight Success) Lmao ironically this was not a good year at all for George... "Love Without End Amen" should easily be the highest finisher, probably in the top 10 and maybe in the top 5. "Overnight Success" and "Drinking Champagne" will both do poorly, with "Overnight Success" probably doing the worst and finishing around #85-90. 10. Any other thoughts or predictions? Excited to see how this goes! This year may be old enough to where I didn't know nearly as much as usual, but I still enjoyed the list a lot! And I also found that all the rankdowns we have done have helped me to prepare for this one, as there were so many songs that I learned in the last couple years thanks to rankdowns which helped this one to go a lot smoother! In that sense I'm glad we're doing this one now! Some of my rankings for the first few '90s rankdowns we did make me cringe in light of all the songs I have become more familiar with through artist rankdowns and album series and the like... But I don't think I'll have any regrets with this list!

Good afternoon y'all! I'm going to go ahead and jump into this in which I'll reveal the bottom 10 songs. Here are some stats to look over while I get everything ready for our first song: - Almost 1150 points separate the last-place finisher from our winner
- Speaking of last place, it is also our least polarizing song
- A Country Music Hall of Fame inductee loses his last song to hit number one on a national chart
- Eleven songs actually encompass the bottom 10 as the last two exiting are tied in points
- Both of the songs tied in points belong to the same artist
