Come On Over kicks things off for us again, as "Whatever You Do! Don't!" exits at #5. This song is such a fun jam! It perfectly describes those feelings you get around a big crush you have, that any little thing they do is bound to leave you flustered no matter what you try to do. Those feelings of serotonin are fun to have tbh

Oh, and PS....this is the THIRD tie in the rankdown!!! "Whatever You Do! Don't!" clearly lost that tie. Which song came out ahead of it?!

Correct! "I'm Jealous" beats out "Whatever You Do! Don't!" to win the third and final tie of the rankdown. I used the amount of #1s this time around to break the tie, and "I'm Jealous" had more. I absolutely love this song. The production and Shania's vocal are so beautiful here, and I think it should've been tried out as a single. I'd place bets it would've smashed, at least on pop radio.

I know I'm Jealous has its share of haters but I think it's one of Shania's best ballads.
In My Car can drive outta here next.

Black Eyes, Blue Tears vs. Nah!
Place your bets now!!!

And there you have it! Both songs in the Top 2 annihilated the competition, but "Nah!" fought even harder and ran away with the win. After being declared its parent album's best album track (and finishing in the Top 5 of that rankdown, far ahead of any other album tracks and even beating out some singles ), it has now been deemed by Pulse as the greatest album track in Shania's entire career! That's quite a feat; this song is a juggernaut! The performance here only proves once again that "Nah!" should've NEVER been pulled in favor of something like "She's Not Just a Pretty Face," and allowed its time to be a multi-week #1 smash hit! What a shame that didn't get to happen. Thanks for following along as I mostly talked to a wall! That's an official wrap on the entire Shania Twain Album Series! It's been so fun getting to host these rankdowns over the past year and a half. As promised, I'll do a fun little companion rankdown of Shania's music videos, but that will come later on in the future as I have other RDs I want to focus on first. Until then, have fun revisiting these great tracks over and over again!

Very solid finish!!! "Nah!" was one of 11-year-old bboat's early favorites when Up! first came out, so it definitely holds a place in my heart even if it wasn't quite my #1 today. That distinction goes to "I Wanna Get To Know You (That Good)", the low ranks for which continue to have me scratching my head... That is easily one of her most engaging choruses, and not in a cheesy-campy way like most of her great choruses. It's like, legit just an incredible song, that absolutely deserved the top 5 over "In My Car (I'll Be The Driver)", which is catchy but adds absolutely nothing new or noteworthy to her catalog. At least it came close I guess! "Black Eyes, Blue Tears" has also always been one of my favorites from her as well! People may be more accustomed to hearing these lyrics of abuse from someone like Martina or Reba, but Shania manages to give this topic a catchy feel-good energy that is perfectly empowering in all the right ways. Sure it has an element of camp to it (it IS Shania, after all), but to me it doesn't take away from the song. I always crank this one up, and find myself wondering every time why it wasn't ever released to radio! Thanks for hosting taylor!!! This was a fun series!

Thrilled for "Nah!". It was all set to be the fourth single, and then something happened. I really wish things had stayed the course.
