Definitely saw all 3 of these exiting before the top 10, so I'm not surprised.
Gonna guess that "Texas Man" and "Easy Silence" are the last two to miss.

“Soon You’ll Get Better” was hard to rank, because on one hand I adore it and it hits home, but on the other hand, The Chicks are quite literally nothing more than background vocals…

A top 10 without "Never Say Die" in it is an incomplete top 10.

"Never Say Die" was our last-minute addition to the rankdown as quite a few were showing their angst at it not being included. The only reason this initially got passed over is because it left inside the bottom 3 from the Wide Open Spaces album rankdown, albeit even that was by only one point as "Let 'Er Rip" came out just ahead of it. This time around, though, they swapped places with "Never Say Die" coming out a few positions ahead of it here. I knew I was going to regret not including this, so I made a quick last-minute decision to do so and I'm glad I did! Despite this finishing nine points shy of the top 10, it in fact spent the majority of its run inside there as it picked up a handful of top 5s from bboat11, ClevelandRox, castleoblivion26, and 🌺CountryLineDancer. Those would be the only top 10 rankings, however, as a large chuck of the rankings outside of that came from outside of the top 15. That said, everyone still placed this within their top 20 as no one put it down in their bottom 5.

Now, as I had mentioned earlier both of the songs vying for a spot in the top 10 were tied in points! The tie-breaker was close as both of the them have a top 2 ranking, but one of the songs has an additional top 2 ranking which means the song not making it in is...

Originally recorded by Beyoncé for her album Lemonade, a remix with The Chicks was released as a promotional single in late 2016 and samples their song "Long Time Gone" as well. Even before that, they had been performing a cover of the song while out on their DCX MMXVI World Tour in both 2016 and 2017. I really had no idea what to expect from this, so overall I'd have to say it certainly exceeded any of the expectations I might've had for it. All in all, this accumulated eight top 10 rankings of which recordyear, mamooshka, and ccarter1023 all placed inside their top 5. It wasn't without a few haters, though, as 🌺CountryLineDancer put this in his bottom 5 while both ClevelandRox and bboat11 placed it in their bottom 2.

It's a really cool version of this song, although not really country per se. The blending with Long Time Gone in this is smooth.

Overall this top 10 is pretty expected, with I'd say "Texas Man" being the biggest surprise. I'd be shocked if that one hangs on much longer! I bet that one and "Easy Silence" will miss the top 5. From there it's anybody's ballgame, but I'll go ahead and predict "Truth No. 2", "Tortured, Tangled Hearts", and "Loving Arms" will join them. That's certainly not what I would hope for, but y'all really can't be trusted sometimes

"Daddy Lessons" SLAYS and the haters can stay mad and tasteless. Glad it at least came just shy of top 10 despite a vocal minority of dissenters!

Good Monday morning, y'all! Let's go ahead and dive right into the top 10 of which I'll reveal the first two songs to exit. Starting off is the song that ended up winning the tie-breaker over "Daddy Lessons" if only because it had an additional top 2 ranking.

The trio's third studio album Home also loses its third song of the rankdown as “Tortured, Tangled Hearts” exits next. As you can tell by its trajectory, this only found its way into the top 10 in the final moments as before that it was looking as though it was bound for a top 15 placement. It was buoyed by quite a bit of support in the last quarter of its run with two more additional top 10 rankings as well as a top 4 from bboat11. It would be the additional top 2 ranking from LBTrocks that would end up propelling this into the top 10 and in turn winning the tie-breaker over "Daddy Lessons".

Our second #1 loss of the rankdown is up next with the song also being our second most polarizing of the rankdown.

"Texas Man" has grown on me the more I've heard it. Happy it made it to the Top 10 ultimately!

We bid adieu to the Chicks' most recent studio album Gaslighter as its final track "Texas Man" exits next. While most of y'all knew that this was likely on borrowed time, I'm glad to see at least one of the songs from the album make it into the top 10 here as it has become a favorite amongst some of their fans on Pulse. This in fact only found its way into the top 10 towards the last quarter of its run as before that it mostly remained a top 15 contender. It certainly didn't help matters that its initial start was in last place thanks to ClevelandRox! It slowly was able build upon its support, though, which included a trio of top 5s from taylor, someguy, and Cody Wants Out.... This also garnered a #1 ranking from 🌺CountryLineDancer who follows on the heels of ClevelandRox as the only two participants to have lost their #1 song.

Here are the Top 8!
Am I the Only One (Who’s Ever Felt This Way) Easy Silence Loving Arms Lubbock or Leave It Once You’ve Loved Somebody Sin Wagon Truth No. 2 White Trash Wedding
The consensus seems to be that "Easy Silence" has been on borrowed time since just before the top 10, so how much longer do y'all think it'll hold out for?! Also, any guesses as to which three songs will exit before the top 5 is revealed?!

"Loving Arms" "Am I The Only One (Who's Ever Felt This Way)" "White Trash Wedding"
those 3 need to be on borrowed time. I think "White Trash Wedding" will definitely miss the Top 5, as for the other 2 songs I'm not entirely sure which it will be. Hopefully one of the other two I think have overstayed though I could see "Easy Silence" missing based on some feedback, though I hope it makes it

"White Trash Wedding" deserves top 5 MINIUMUM.
We can go ahead and mute "Easy Silence" now tho.

My personal preference would be to see "Sin Wagon" exit ASAP, but I know it's somewhat of a fan favourite. I will guess that it will go out at #6 though, with "Easy Silence" and "Loving Arms" also missing the top 5.

Let's go ahead and reveal the next three songs to exit so that we can see what the top 5 album tracks are! And just based on the some of the predictions above, I can tell you that there'll be a couple of surprises in the mix.
