Okay, catching up, now that I'm back from my vacation.
#90: Still confused as to why The Truth made it to the list. Pretty underwhelming imo.
#88: Disappointed at this reveal. Shot Gun Rider remains my fav from Tim McGraw to this day. Humble and Kind, on the other hand, is overrated.
#86: I know I'm not the biggest King George follower here, but I Got A Car is really great. Surprised that it left so early, considering his popularity on this board.

4 out of the last 5 reveals basically fall into the category of "I really like these but also I just can't put it any higher". "Blowin' Smoke" is probably the one I feel strongest among those, it's just got an attitude that works with the lyrics and so good. "Lonely Eyes" is one where I just really like the melody, idk why but I just do.
"She Got the Best of Me" I like enough but I don't particularly find the melody to be that strong in that one and has felt like one of his more forgettable singles, at least to me.

Only 2 of the last 5 were from my top 20, so I guess that's progress "Lonely Eyes" being out this early is just plain sad. Such a great country song and given its prior prowess in rankdowns I thought it would at least make the top half. No idea how it could be out over the likes of "Think Of You", "Let It Rain", "Drunk Of A Plane", "Mercy", "In Case You Didn't Know" and the litany of mediocre female songs still left in this.

Considering that you believe "Independence Day" to be like one of the 5 worst songs of 1994, I feel like you wouldn't actually be able to identify a "mediocre female song" if it slapped you upside the head

That's right, the Chris Young purge continues! This time it is a #1 from CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker that kicks off our top 75, which is entirely unfortunate because this song is AWESOME!!! I've been realizing lately just how many people seem to straight up dislike this one, and it actually makes me kinda sad. Like, obviously it was still well-liked enough to make the top 10 and place in this rank down, but it was a pretty tough road for it to get there. And then in this best-of rd, it was never able to climb out of the 60s/70s thanks to the bottom 20 ranks that kept pouring in pretty consistently throughout the submission process. Chris sings the absolute hell out of this one!!!!! It would be a great song to begin with regardless of who sings it, but his vocal absolutely takes it to the next level! I never get sick of it! Great taste in #1, CagedJuggalo The Third Tanker!

Thrilled that the far superior "Mercy" outlasted "In Case You Didn't Know."
Never cared for this song and it never grew on me. Very trendy and generic to my ears. Good lyrics tho.

It's about time! Brett Young has recorded exactly two great songs in his entire career, and they are both in this rankdown.....but "In Case You Didn't Know" also happens to be SOOOOO incredibly overplayed that I still have not come back around to loving it as much as I did at first. And I'm thinking I may not be the only one who feels that way, because for most of this rd this song hung out in the bottom 20, only to be thrown a bit of a life line with the last dozen lists.

Okay I'm really not sure what Chris Young did to deserve being just about eliminated in one big swath right in the 70s, but that seems to be exactly what is happening with "The Man I Want to Be" bowing out next. Filled with fiddle, steel, and of course Chris' warm and welcoming velvety vocals, this is such a nice song Basically the comfort food of 2010's music scene! "Voices" and "Tomorrow" are now Chris' lone holdouts in this list...can either of them make the top half??

For those who have been asking for female losses, here you go! Sunny Sweeney suffers the first loss from the 2011 group of this list, believe it or not. What a strong group of songs that year gave us! I feel like she came from out of absolute nowhere to place two songs in the top 5 of that year-end rankdown, so I'm not too surprised to see this one leaving now. It's pretty good, of course, but hardly iconic enough to justify placing in a "best of the entire decade" list. It's the one song on this entire list that I hadn't even heard of before it randomly did so well in its year-end rankdown (Don't judge, 2011 was prior to my Pulse years! I was finishing up high school!)

For the final song to round out the bottom 30, we lose our first entry from The Band Perry. I'm not totally convinced that "Postcard from Paris" is best-of-the-decade good, but there is no doubt that it is a jam that I love a lot! I hadn't really paid a lot of attention to this one until their debut album rankdown happened in 2018 (it was kinda overshadowed by stuff like "If I Die Young" and "You Lie" in terms of radio), but this one really connected with me then, and I have loved it ever since! Kimberly sounds great, and honestly I'm not sure if there is anyone whose voice would have been able to sell this one better than hers. Sure is a shame that their career went tits-up a few years later, but it was 100% self-inflicted, so...

Finally my first perfect ranking with “In Case You Didn’t Know”.
“Postcard from Paris” is a gorgeous song. I miss The Band Perry too… wouldn’t mind having either “Better Dig Two” or “Done.” on this rankdown.

Well these last three reveals hurt lol
“Voices” above “The Man I Want To Be” is a choice but I love “Voices” as well so sure although I think I have it much lower than TMIWTB.
I knew “Staying’s Worse Than Leaving” way before joining Pulse or becoming a full-fledged country fan unlike some floppy host… lol!
“Postcards From Paris” is so good, when I hear stuff like that it makes me miss The Band Perry. I know they wanted to shift directions so I’m not going to fault their intentions but man imagine the music we could have gotten in an alternate world where TBP stayed country.
