How great thou art!!! My Savior (2021) Welcome to the My Savior album rankdown!On September 25, 2020, Carrie Underwood lent her angelic voice to some of the best Christmas tunes when she released her seventh studio album, My Gift, her long-awaited first holiday record. Exactly three months later, on Christmas Day, she announced that My Savior, her eighth studio album and first gospel record, a project also long-awaited, would be sent out in time for Easter. On March 26, 2021, the world was blessed when Carrie sent this album out, a record full of covers of hymns that have stood the test of time, breathing new life into them and somehow making them feel new. After a year in which we have lost so much, this album was needed and the numbers prove it: 73,000 copies were sold in the record's first week, becoming her record-extending ninth consecutive #1 Top Country Album while also debuting at the #1 spot of the Top Christian Albums chart and opening in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200. These songs, along with Carrie's God-given voice, have been sources of comfort, healing, and hope, and I hope y'all feel the same as we rank this album! I know this album is only just under one month old. However, I'm entirely certain that the CU9 era is imminent, and we still have a CU album tracks RD to get started on, so I need to get this album finished ASAP, so that tracks from this and My Gift can be included. This album is only 50 minutes in length so there shouldn't be too much trouble getting it out of the way! Tracklist (runtime: 49:47):1. Jesus Loves Me (instrumental) 2. Nothing But the Blood of Jesus 3. Blessed Assurance 4. Just As I Am 5. Victory In Jesus 6. Great Is Thy Faithfulness (ft. CeCe Winans) 7. O How I Love Jesus 8. How Great Thou Art 9. Because He Lives 10. The Old Rugged Cross 11. I Surrender All 12. Softly & Tenderly 13. Amazing Grace Apple Music PlaylistSpotify Playlist: Due: Wednesday, May 26 |

I realize there's still quite a little bit going on in the country rankdown scene, but this album has to get done sooner rather than later so that we can have the album tracks RD before the CU9 era begins. I know the 60-song Pam Tillis Album Tracks RD is due two days after this, but there's three 100 song-or-greater RDs booked in June and I do not want June to feel overwhelming in any way, so May 26 felt like the only good time to have this due. :)

this is gonna be difficult for me to do tbh because I am not a fan of Christian music at all and I haven't really enjoyed anything I've heard from this at all. Carrie sounds amazing of course but that is the extent but I will absolutely participate and try and get some enjoyment from this. Sometimes I can enjoy a Christian song here and there so maybe something will grow on me

I don't know how anybody could listen to her sing "How Great Thou Art" and determine that they have no interest in this...  (Granted, I haven't listened to the rest of the album yet either, so who am I to judge 😂) |

As of tomorrow, there are exactly three weeks remaining to submit your lists for this album. I'm currently sitting at three lists. This is music made for Jesus so I'm not expecting a deluge of lists, but at least 12 would be incredible. There's still a bit of time though so I'd certainly prioritize some of the other current RDs whose deadlines are much closer. Lists Received:1. taylor2. jamatthews833. zaclord 🌈Due: Wednesday, May 26 |

What a great album. So difficult to rank, too! TBH, when I bought this album, while I knew it would be great, I was sort of expecting it to be something I would listen to at first and then set it aside mostly for special occasions like Resurrection Sunday, Christmas, random moments, etc., so I'm pretty amazed at how much I've listened to this album. She really delivered above and beyond.

I'm feeling pretty confident we'll get to a total of 15 (or close to it), which really speaks to Carrie's star power! If it was any other Christian album, it likely wouldn't be making nearly this much noise  Everyone else has three days left to submit lists!

I... really should've thought about this. Confiscate my stan card.  I honestly have enough lists to close it out today, but I know of at least a couple more notable names that I hope are interested in this, such as .indulgecountry perhaps, so that'd be a bitchy thing to do lmao  This IS due tomorrow, however! No extensions will be given so hurry and submit your list if you haven't already, before the Church of Carrie closes its doors for good!

Carrie Underwood - My Savior: It's Results Time!The Queen of Country, Gospel, and Vegas has quite the appeal! Despite this being a Christian album, I wound up with a total of 16 lists! That's only four lists shy from Carrie's Christmas rankdown...which was basically also a Christian music rankdown, whose participant list of 20 people completely shattered a record among Christmas rankdowns! I'm willing to bet I've received as many lists as I'm going to get, so I'm gonna go ahead and get data compiled and get things rolling very soon! Final Participant List (16):1. taylor2. jamatthews833. zaclord 🌈4. 14887fan5. ccarter10236. tim7. castleoblivion268. dgarcia33779. someguy10. toomuchboy11. carriefan1512. bigd7913. Sugar Rush14. bboat1115. Troublemaker16. .indulgecountry
Here are the pre-reveal questions to get us started: 1. What will be #1?
2. What will take #12? Not last place, but #12 ;)
3. What will the Top 5 consist of?
4. What will the bottom 5 consist of?
5. Which song will come out as the most polarizing? Least?
6. Two of these songs, "How Great Thou Art" and "Softly & Tenderly," have been performed by Carrie before. Which studio version of these songs will perform better here?
7. Which of these two pre-released tracks ("Nothing But the Blood of Jesus," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness") will do better?
8. Any other thoughts about this album? |

1. What will be #1? I'm going with Nothing But the Blood of Jesus, but I could see How Great Thou Art taking it since she's been known for her great vocal on that song before this album even happened.
2. What will take #12? Not last place, but #12 Jesus Loves Me.
3. What will the Top 5 consist of? NBtBoJ, HGTA, Softly & Tenderly, Because He Lives, Amazing Grace. (Maybe a chance for Victory in Jesus?)
4. What will the bottom 5 consist of? Jesus Loves Me, Great Is Thy Faithfulness, Just as I Am, Blessed Assurance, O How I Love Jesus.
5. Which song will come out as the most polarizing? Least? Most: Great Is Thy Faithfulness. Least: HGTA, Jesus Loves Me.
6. Two of these songs, "How Great Thou Art" and "Softly & Tenderly," have been performed by Carrie before. Which studio version of these songs will perform better here? HGTA.
7. Which of these two pre-released tracks ("Nothing But the Blood of Jesus," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness") will do better? NBtBoJ

1. What will be #1? "How Great Thou Art" oughta take this pretty easily!
2. What will take #12? Not last place, but #12 ;) Last place is totes "Jesus Loves Me". #12 though is harder to say... Maybe "Amazing Grace"? Most of this album was amazing, but her version of "Amazing Grace" is boooooooring.
3. What will the Top 5 consist of? HGTA, "Nothin' But The Blood Of Jesus", "Because He Lives", "Great Is Thy Faithfulness" (CeCe's impact!!), and hopefully "Blessed Assurance"!
4. What will the bottom 5 consist of? "Jesus Loves Instrumentals", "Amazing Grace", "Just As I Am", "O How I Love Jesus", and "I Surrender All".
5. Which song will come out as the most polarizing? Least? Most: "Victory In Jesus". Least: "Jesus Loves Me".
6. Two of these songs, "How Great Thou Art" and "Softly & Tenderly," have been performed by Carrie before. Which studio version of these songs will perform better here? HGTA, and it ain't no contest!!
7. Which of these two pre-released tracks ("Nothing But the Blood of Jesus," "Great Is Thy Faithfulness") will do better? They will probably both be top 5, but "Nothing But The Blood Of Jesus" should come out ahead. That one was a really nice breath of fresh air and energy on this album, and I'm honestly rooting for it to be in the top 2!
8. Any other thoughts about this album? This album was so good!!!!!! I hadn't listened to it when it came out, but now that I have I can't believe how much negativity some people have been showing towards it here! Just because a song says the name "Jesus" doesn't make a good song stop being a good song....

1. What will be #1? HGTA seems to be the odds on favorite, although for me its not in my top 3😉 2. What will take #12? Not last place, but #12  this seems like a sneaky question. I think it will be jesus loves me! 3. What will the Top 5 consist of? Hard to say for sure but i think there are 3 guarantees at least... HGTA, S&T, and NBTBOJ 4. What will the bottom 5 consist of? "again, not totally sure of 5, but i think its pretty safe to say the jesus loves me intrumental will be either last or 2nd to last. 5. Which song will come out as the most polarizing? Least? Most- great is thy faithfulness? Least- Hmmmmm.... idk.... amazing grace? |
