With the reveal of "Home Now," which is an amazing album track and one of my favorite songs from Now, that album is now down to one! How much longer will "Poor Me" last? The results will tell! While this song had no #1 rankings, the winner of this tie had one, which is what I used as the breaker! Which song could it be?!

I'm surprised that all of the Up songs made the top 10, but I expect that at least three of them will go in the 6-10 range. I'm surprised that "Whatever You Do! Don't!" is so high, as well.

Omg I fully expected it to be my #1 💯. Condolences to Kanenrá:ke, especially when I ranked it so low. Don't hate me! 😭

Well, that was a bit of a rough patch for me as I lost a top two, a top 5, and a top 10. While I'm kinda sorta not surprised that "I Won't Leave You Lonely" is one of the more polarizing songs, it still remains a go-to for me and one of my favorites from Come On Over. I almost can't listen to the album without also revisiting that one.
Other than "I'm Not in the Mood (To Say No)!", this is a pretty solid top 10! I'm anxious to see how the rest of this all plays out.

YAY!!!! "Poor Me" survived to the top 10!! And the amazing GAGGFT made it all the way to #11. I'm very surprised all of the Up! songs made the top 10, the lyrics to "I'm Jealous" makes me think the narrator needs therapy , so I can't stomach it often, though the production is pretty "I Won't Leave You Lonely" is beautiful and sublime so I'm sad it couldn't go further. That said, her consent anthems both made it so I'm glad for that - "Whatever You Do, Don't!" and "If You Wanna Touch Her (Ask)"

Happy to see the Up! tracks slaying. It's hands down her best album imo, and this kinda supports that thinking for me because I've always felt like it was the record where the non-singles are collectively just as good as the hits... compared to an album like Come on Over where the hits are clearly the star and the few that didn't go to radio are not on par.

Up! is one of my favorite albums of all time so I am elated at the songs being in the top 10. Wish I was older during that era to truly experience it (in reality I was four so I experienced what I could lol).

Come On Over kicks things off this round, with "If You Wanna Touch Her, Ask!" leaving at #10. This song is a consent ANTHEM and Shania is spitting nothing but FACTS here, but the song itself doesn't really hold too much replay value, and that's why my rank is so low.

Winning the tie at #8 is "I'm Not in the Mood," which becomes the first song from Up! to be eliminated, making that album the last to lose its first song, which is something none of us seemed to be expecting!!! With this reveal, tim finally (and, I'm sure, gladly) rids of his last place song. This one is fun but certainly one of my least favorite songs from Up! and when you have a stellar album such as this one, some things just have to go towards the bottom! Since neither INITM or IIDTT had a #1 ranking, I used standard deviation as the tiebreaker--INTTM's was smaller.

"Wanna Get to Know You" is EASILY one of my favorite songs not only from Up! but from Shania's entire catalog, and I wish it could've been selected as a single. Everything about it is just lovely, and I would relate to all of it if I had a significant other. Condolences to bboat11 who brought the taste with his #1!

Just before the Top 5, Now runs out of steam and loses its last song, "Poor Me," which outperformed its album counterparts by a mile. I absolutely love this track's melody and production, and I like how it samples/interpolates The Chainsmokers' hit song "Don't Let Me Down" as you can hear here:

This top 5 leaves me feeling a bit anxious if only because I have no idea how it's going to pan out. My gut instinct going into this said that "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" was the one to beat, so I'm going to stick with it. Beyond that, I have no idea lol! Also, I'm admittedly taken aback by all of the praise for Up! as I've actually never considered it to one of her best albums, but maybe that is more of generational thing? I'm also very much biting my lip for not putting "I'm Jealous" in my top 5. Speaking of, the perfect top 3 would be that, "Whatever You Do! Don't!", and "Black Eyes, Blue Tear"

That's not how I interpret the song at all. I view it as an expression of such undying love that you're envious that even the sun and the moon and the stars get to see your significant other just as often as you do. I don't condone clinginess, but I'd be just like this...it's better than being jealous of actual people that you'd know are just friends if you really trusted your partner. Besides, it's got a lovely production lol Anyways, I know y'all probably aren't around, but I'm finishing this rankdown right now anyway!!!
