To nobody's surprise, we kick things off with Shania's self-titled debut album taking a hit. "When He Leaves You" has a lovely story and Shania's delivery is great, but the production kinda plods along which makes it kinda hard to listen to...unless you're in the mood for it, lol.

The next reveal may or may not come as a shock, but either way, The Woman In Me becomes the next album to lose a song! "Raining on our Love" is great and in fact I really do love it, but I don't find myself revisiting it quite as often as I do most of the other album tracks here, so I couldn't find any room for it within my Top 20.

"Still Under the Weather" is just LOVELY. It's easily among my favorites from the self-titled album, and I particularly love the line I'm still under the weather, but I'm over the storm. Writing like that is one of my favorite things about country music. This one deserved a lot better. </3

This reveal stings as well. Now came out almost exactly one month to the day after my aunt's passing, and "Where Do You Think You're Going" succeeded in making me cry before the first chorus could hit. It was just one of those songs that I was able to somewhat associate with her passing, and I just think everything about it is really lovely.

"There Goes the Neighborhood" has always been criminally underrated; despite the incredible latter albums having great tracks as well. Everything about it is just lovely, and I wish this could've done better, as it definitely deserved more. </3

This is kicking off much like I predicted with four of the five songs I guessed leaving all in the bottom 5. While "Raining On Our Love" is the only one I didn't include in my initial list, I probably should've seen that coming as it was on my radar as one that would likely leave early. There are certain aspects of "Where Do You Think You're Going" that I enjoy, but for whatever reason it's a hard song to sit all the way through. I can only think it has to do with the overall production. And I'm right there with you taylor on "There Goes the Neighborhood" as it's such a criminally underrated song.

Awwww, I'm with you taylor on "Still Under The Weather." It's in my top 3 favorites from her debut along with "God Ain't Gonna Getcha For That" and "What Made You Say That"

Pleasantly surprised to see The Woman In Me taking hits already!!! As iconic as that album is, I consider these two boring ballads to be at the bottom of pretty much her entire career.
The self-titled debut was always bound to have the toughest battle out of the gate, but "There Goes The Neighborhood" is a damn good song, and the other two are very solid as well! I still can't get over how much she reminds me of Tanya Tucker on her debut.

"Crime of the Century" kicks things off for this set of reveals, quickly leaving Shania's debut album with only one song left. Y'all, what is this f**kery?! This song is a certified JAM!!! I know she has a lot of great albums and album tracks, but this is easily right up there with the best of them. I love the delivery of the chorus and the melody is money. Deserved a little better if you ask me!

"Let's Kiss and Make Up" is a pretty good song on its own, but when compared not only to the rest of its parent album, but especially the other album tracks of Shania's career, it's just not up to par. It simply doesn't hold a candle to a good deal of the songs in this rankdown, thus my last place rank.

"Soldier" is one of the best tracks on Shania's last album. The piano-led arrangement is so beautiful, and the vocals here are among the best on the record. Glad it managed to stick around for a little longer!

In what might come as a huge shock, Come On Over is NOT the last album to lose its first song, unlike what everyone predicted! That distinction winds up belonging to Up!
"I Won't Leave You Lonely" is lovely, but I don't revisit it quite as often. Whenever I do, I am always enchanted by it, so I settled on putting it around the middle of my list.
