Fun fact about "Those Memories Of You" - It was Pam's Second charting single of her career and first Top 60!
I think this one is okay but isn't one I see myself ever revisiting. I do think it belongs this low, though wish it was lower than "Looking For A Feeling" at least lol
Tomorrow night I will get us to the Top 30! What songs do you see being among the next 5 eliminated?

I really enjoyed the song "Two Kings". It's not country music but I loved how Pam and Kris's voices sounded together and the overall message of the song. It was a new discovery for me and I thought it was great.

So far it's about what I expected! "So Wrong" seems to always be done dirty, but the whole album wasn't all that well received on here so not surprised. I personally love it! Her 80's material isn't bad per se, it just doesn't fully feel like her. Like they hadn't yet figured out how she sounds best. "Looking For A Feeling" is over hated too, I love the sound she tried with the album! "Two Kings" is a very good discovery. As ccarter1023 said it's not country but their voices sound great together. "What We Believe In" on the other hand I just couldn't get into. All the obvious ones seem to be gone now so it's time for it to start getting more interesting! Next five I'm thinking "After A Kiss" "Every Time" "Unmitigated Gall" "Betty's Got A Bass Boat" "There Goes My Love"

I was torn on Band in the Window! I didn't not like it, but didn't like it enough to place it above many of the others that stood out a lot more.

Ohhh yeahhh, this one in my top ten did stick out like a sore thumb! But something just connected and I loved it (Unmitigated Gall).

I assumed that most of the songs listed as extras would leave before the top 25, and so I’m not surprised that in turn ended up being the case. There just wasn’t anything in that group of songs that was likely going to be able to eclipse her more well-known and established hits in her discography (although “Betty’s Got a Bass Boat” has long overstayed its welcome).
That said, “After a Kiss” is one of the standouts amongst those group of extra songs and given that it made the top 5 in that subsequent rankdown, it would make sense then that it would be the last of those to leave here as well.
We’re going to soon start entering some rough terrain as we near the top 20, so things are about to get really interesting for sure!

"Betty's Got A Bass Boat" was such an odd choice for a single and still doesn't make any more sense today than it did back then. Even though it likely wouldn't have fared any better at radio, "Mandolin Rain" would've been a much better choice.

I struggle to enjoy "Betty's Got A Bass Boat" because I've never really cared for the story of the song.

"The Hard Way" was one of my favorite discoveries from her album rankdown series! In fact, I found the entire album Rhinestoned to be solid and is one that I wish was available on streaming services because there were so many great songs. On the contrary, I found Every Time to be a bit underwhelming as though the production sounded a bit too polished for my taste. I felt like she had regained some momentum coming off her Greatest Hits album, but alas that never did translate over into the next era.

I was just looking back and one thing that I never quite paid attention to or noticed is that Pam never really had a consistent producer. Sure, there are some of the same names that pop up on the albums, but even then there might be three or four other producers in the mix all on the same album. Anyways, that might explain some of the inconsistency I hear in regards to the production with some of these albums (such as Every Time).

"Please" should have made it to the Top 20! I have long loved this song and the album is a favorite as well!

I thought I'd have Betty's Got A Bass Boat in my bottom five here, but it really was better than I remembered!
