"I Could Use a Love Song" can thank its pretty small standard deviation for its high placement, because it really didn't get that many extremely high ranks boosting it up, but it also didn't get too many extremely low ranks pushing it down. Its lone top 10 and lone bottom 10 rank pretty much canceled each other out, while most people put it in their 30s-60s. This was by far my least favorite single from Maren's first era, but it's still pretty good. I LOVED her first era overall, lol. Glad to see "My Church" and "80s Mercedes" hanging around to represent that project still, as they deserve to be!!!

I can see why people like "High Horse", but it is hardly all that Kacey's stans try to make it out to be... Especially when compared to the best songs of the entire decade.

Revolution-era Miranda was by far my favorite Miranda! That entire era was a total slam-dunk in the singles department. While I've gotten tired of "The House That Built Me" due to overplay, everything else is just SO good! "Heart Like Mine" has such an engaging and memorable melody.

Welp, raylatch98 finally loses his last place! How about that! But he's not even remotely close to being the last. It looks like there are still 5 more last places left, believe it or not "Over You" has a bit of a simplistic quality to it that I could see rubbing people the wrong way, but I really enjoy the understated nature of this song. Would have liked to have seen it make the top 30, tbh!

I am honestly shocked that Luke was able to get anything this high in this rankdown considering how sick of him we are all becoming lately! Nevertheless, even after the exit of "When it Rains It Pours", he still has "Even Though I'm Leaving" remaining in the running.
At this point in his career, after three albums that are becoming progressively more generic and unimpressive, I think it's pretty safe to say that "When It Rains It Pours" will likely go down in history as being the best song of his entire career. Which honestly makes me a little sad, because having a song like that right out of the gate left me with pretty high hopes for his creative vision!

Darn, I miss this Luke Combs! I feel like our expectation on him got really high with his early strong materials, like this or Even Though I'm Leaving, and thus, many of us are really underwhelmed with his recent outputs. Many big artists do have some weak eras though, so I still hope he will come back with something awesome like this.

"Highway 20 Ride" is a nice song. I can see why it might not be everybody's cup of tea, but it just has such a chill vibe that I can't help but enjoy. That being said, "Colder Weather" probably was their ballad that was more symbolic of the great things they could accomplish in this decade, so I would have rather seen that one if we only got one of their ballads...

"Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)" shocked us all when it came out and turned into a random late-career smash hit for Gary Allan...but most of us were here for it, as evidenced by the fact that it ended up winning the 2013 rankdown!! I love the melody of this song so much, the arrangement is filled with so many cool musical moments, Gary's vocal is one of the best of his career, and Hillary Lindsay's background vocals just make it that much better! Thrilled to see it do relatively well here, despite having a few notable detractors.

Lauren Alaina is an interesting artist in that despite her obvious talents, she has yet to release anything that completely wows me. My reception of her has been about the same as country radio's so far, lol. I enjoy "Road Less Traveled" well enough, and would probably give it a solid A-, but in a list this strong that was only good enough to get it to #70 on my list!

Okay, this is starting to hurt a little bit. I love "Diane" so much, I thought it would be a little higher. "High Horse" is amazing but I can see why some people wouldn't like the song that much. "Over You" is one of my favorite Miranda's singles, I didn't remember placing "I Could Use a Love Song" higher than "Over You", but yeah that's another one I really like.
EDIT: I posted that BEFORE I saw Road Less Traveled's exit, so... yeah that hurt even more. But I'm glad it made it this far, I was scared about it leaving way earlier, I believe someone even predicted it to be a bottom 5/10 contender. I rememeber loving "Road Less Traveled" when her EP came out, it wasn't a single yet but it was already an standout for me and I'm glad it turned out to be a hit for her.

Speaking of Flops vs. "Highway Don't Care"... It's finally time to bid adieu to that incredible masterpiece of a song!!! :'( "Highway Don't Care" just slays me in every way. The melody is so engaging, Taylor's vocals might seem unnecessary, but they somehow just plain WORK, Keith's guitar work is incredible, the music video gives the kickass sonic elements a powerful visual message to go with them. Easily Tim's best song of the 2010s.

It's probably painful for many, but also to be expected that the lower ranks would start catching up to a polarizing vocalist like Carrie Underwood at this point in the rankdown. "Church Bells" was quite a fan favorite from 2016, so no surprise to see it landing in this rankdown! It was never THAT strong of a contender though, gradually improving from the 60s/50s to end up as a top 30 contender near the very end.
I was not a huge fan of this one when Storyteller came out, mostly because her production just became so consistently and unnecessarily loud, and this song is one of the worst offenders in that department, lol. That being said, it has won me over over time, earning it a near-top-30 rank from me, when it would have probably been in the 80s back when it first came out!

"Stay a Little Longer" was such a great introduction to Brothers Osborne! I have always found this one to be really catchy, and their musical talents are also incredibly obvious from the guitar work. Honestly, they have had a hard time topping this one for me, although they have come close a couple times!
