1. What will be the winner? I'd like to think it'll be something from their first album, like "Once You've Loved Somebody". A lot of their albums are polarizing, with opinions ranging all over the place, but something like that might be able to get just enough consensus to pull through considering that most of the more pop-oriented participants didn't join us for this round to tank their early stuff and boost their late stuff.
2. What other songs will be in the top 5? Some variation of "Loving Arms", "Never Say Die", "Tortured, Tangled Hearts", "White Trash Wedding", "Lubbock Or Leave It"
3. What will be in last place? "Daddy Lessons".
4. What other songs will be in the bottom 6? "Tights On My Boat", "Lullaby", "My Best Friend's Weddings", "I Believe In Love", "Let Him Fly".
5. Which album will be the first to be completely eliminated? Gaslighter, hopefully. It doesn't have an individual album track that stands out the way all the other albums do.
6. Which album will be the last to still have multiple songs remaining? Wide Open Spaces or Home!
7. Which songs will be most/least polarizing? Most: "Tights On My Boat". Least: Maybe something random like "A Home", near the middle of people's lists?
8. Which will do better: Daddy Lessons or Soon It'll Get Better? "Soon YOU'LL Get Better" ;)
9. "Never Say Die" was a last-minute addition to the rankdown. How will it do? Coming for the top 5, hold my wig!! Top 10 for sure!
10. Any other thoughts or predictions? I cannot name a singe artist outside of maybe Carrie Underwood for whom there is more widespread disagreement about the quality level of individual albums than there is for this group on Pulse, lmao. So this is going to be quite unpredictable, and potentially painful...

1. What will be the winner? Something from Wide Open Spaces or "Truth No. 2"
2. What other songs will be in the top 5? "Truth No. 2", "Am I The Only One...", "Once You've Loved Somebody", "Let Er Rip", "Lubbock Or Leave It"
3. What will be in last place? "Lullaby"
4. What other songs will be in the bottom 6? "Hello Mr. Heartache", "Don't Waste Your Heart", a couple of the songs from Gaslighter
5. Which album will be the first to be completely eliminated? Gaslighter (with possibly Fly being a surprise)
6. Which album will be the last to still have multiple songs remaining? Wide Open Spaces
7. Which songs will be most/least polarizing? Most - "Daddy Lessons", "Sin Wagon"; Least - "Once You've Loved Somebody"
8. Which will do better: Daddy Lessons or Soon You’ll Get Better? "Soon You'll Get Better", but both will do fairly well
9. "Never Say Die" was a last-minute addition to the rankdown. How will it do? Top 10 possibly
10. Any other thoughts or predictions? I think the results for this will be mostly all over the place, with Wide Open Spaces doing the best. Fly is a very strong album but, imo, the right singles were released and there were many singles, so it won't do all that well here, but that is not necessarily reflective of the strength of the album.

It shouldn't come as much of a surprise that “Tights On My Boat” bows out first as it also exited in the bottom 3 from Gaslighter album rankdown. While it was able to pick up a handful of top 5s there, most of those participants did not return for the album tracks rankdown and in turn this saw a lack of support from those that did. In fact, only two of those participants who initially placed this in their top 5 returned with castleoblivion26 losing a top 10 here and someguy losing a near top 10. Both myself and recordyear not only put this last in the album rankdown, but we also put this last yet again with both bboat11 and taylor joining us there.

I like this song in the context of the Gaslighter record, but it's far from an all-time career highlight, so I'll take it.

“I Believe in Love” exits next which also just happened to bow out in the bottom 3 from its parent album rankdown, Home. Also, the majority of those who placed this in their top 5 from that rankdown did not return for this. That is for the lone exception of recordyear who not only placed this #2 there, but also put this in the same position for the album tracks rankdown. While this did manage to pick up one additional top 10 from bboat11, the majority of the group ranked this somewhere down within their bottom 6 and therefore it pretty much maintained a bottom 2 contender for its entirety.

Glad we're getting some of these snooze-y ballads out of here early. The uptempo album cuts in this RD greatly outweighed the ballads -- they released most of their best ones as singles (Without You, You Were Mine, Landslide, etc.).

Leaving next is “Let Him Fly” which sees yet another top two ranking exit this time from taylor. While this did bow out out in the bottom 2 from the Fly album rankdown, just as someguy mentioned earlier that isn't necessarily reflective of the strength of the album considering that eight of its 13 tracks were released as singles. Speaking of, he also loses a near top 5 here while the majority loses a bottom 6. Of those, Cody Wants Out... is the next participant to shed his last place.

Glad we're getting some of these snooze-y ballads out of here early Speaking of..."Hope It's Something Good" leaves next which means Gaslighter is the first album to lose two of its tracks. While this managed to make it to #7 in its parent album rankdown, a handful of participants who placed this high on their list there did not return this time around except for 🌺CountryLineDancer, ClevelandRox, and recordyear who all ranked this in their top 10 here. In fact, this was recordyear's #1 song from Gaslighter! For everyone else, seven participants lose a bottom six including a last place from mamooshka.

Lol, perfect. I figured this one would be on its way out soon as well, and here it is!
Now if we can just get "Lullaby" out soon, but I'm not nearly as hopeful about that one after its parent album RD, sadly...
ETA: The above was about "Hope" but "Weddings" was in the same boat as well. This is off to a FANTASTIC start, wow!

And just like that, Gaslighter is down to only two tracks remaining as “My Best Friend’s Weddings” exits next. This did in fact manage to place just outside of the top 5 there, but it was just never able to overcome the five bottom 6 rankings it garnered here. Also, it didn't help mattes much that this could only muscle up one top 5 from ClevelandRox and a top 10 from someguy.

“Don’t Waste Your Heart” is the final song to exit in the bottom 6 which means Fly loses yet another track leaving both their debut album Wide Open Spaces and Taking the Long Way unscathed. 🌺CountryLineDancer was the only participant to return who placed this in his top 5 there and did so yet again this time around. ClevelandRox also loses a top 5 which comes on the heels of having just lost his first one (and his third top 10 to boot!). Much like most of the songs in the bottom 6, this just never garnered enough support up top to overcome the lower rankings it received which included a last place from ccarter1023.
