I only have 4 top 10s left so I'm not doing all that great :(
"Over You" and "Rainbow" both deserved better, but I kinda saw both leaving around when they did. "Stay A Little Longer" and "Tomorrow" however should have both been in the top 15, but as always the female bias strikes again. "80s Mercedes" has no business being higher than any of those 4 songs. That song has long overstayed and needs to GTFO. I also need "Burning House" to go because that song bothers me, but then that is more for personal reasons so I get that others won't see that the same and it is a good song...
Those are the only 2 songs I outright dislike. I will say I am rooting against those 2 and "A Little Bit Stronger" and "Springsteen" from winning. Anything else winning would be fine by me.

I'll predict that 80s Mercedes, Follow Your Arrow, Springsteen, Two Black Cadillacs & Better Man will miss out.
(I hope Two Black Cadillacs can sneak in though.)

"Merry Go 'Round" will never not be among my favorite songs of all-time. The lyricism, Kacey's delivery (the apathetic way it comes across just works)... it's just perfect.

Darn, wish Stay A Little Longer did what the title is suggesting and at least made it to the top 20! Along with I Don't Remember Me, it is absolutely my fav song by BrOs. The melody is fantastic, and the guitar solo is iconically beautiful.

Thank god Sunny didn’t make the top 15. Horrid song. Wish I was around for that year end rankdown because I would’ve tanked it.
Here’s what I have left:
5 6 7 8 10
18 19 24 25 28
36 43 44 53 61
I’ll be happy if something in my top 30 takes the win!

I know we're getting kinda late in the night for a lot of people, but is anyone around to dive back in?!?! It's only 8 pm for me and I'm on summer break, so I've still got time to finish it up if anyone wants me to ;)

Pleasantly surprised “Peter Pan” is still flying! Looks like you jinxed it! "Peter Pan" has been a really strong contender in basically every rankdown it has ever shown up in, and it is safe to say that this is one of our enduring favorites from Kelsea Ballerini. In fact, this song more top 20 ranks than anything else we have seen so far, which helped it to remain a pretty consistent top 30 contender. It even managed to be #1 for a couple consecutive lists while we were still early enough in the process to where things hadn't reached much consistency yet. Once consistency was established, this was pretty much guaranteed a spot right on the cusp of the top 15.

"Peter Pan" was the one song amongst those remaining that kind of stood out to me. It just doesn't quite strike me as a song that's regarded as one of the best from the genre during the 2010s.

Pleasantly surprised 80s Mercedes left now. What an overrated country-pop song.

"80s Mercedes" is the song that brought me 100% on board with Maren, and I am thrilled to see that it has held up pretty well in Pulse esteem! Outside of a couple floppy bottom 5 ranks from recordyear and castleoblivion26, this one was able to place in the top half of the majority of our lists, helping it to remain a steady top 20 contender throughout the rankdown. There is just something so catchy about this chorus, and that low/synthesized electric piano that drives the arrangement goes SO hard for some reason! Maren's run is not over yet, however, as she was our second-to-last artist with multiple songs remaining. This one may be leaving, but "My Church" is still in the running! Carrie Underwood is now the final artist with multiple songs remaining, as she has "Blown Away" and "Two Black Cadillacs" still in there.

Despite my own ranking, "80s Mercedes" is certainly deserving of its top 15 finish as it certainly is one of the songs from the decade that immediately comes to mind. The competition out ahead of it was likely too much, though, as everything else remaining is really a great representation of the genre overall.

It's always rather disappointing to see a song that was such a consistent top 10 contender get the rug pulled out from under it at the end.

Will Taylor Swift leave at her lucky number? Nope, but your highest remaining rank will 😂 lol sorry!! Our 2014 winner bows out next, taking our final entry from Kacey Musgraves with it. "Follow Your Arrow" has been a long-enduring Pulse Favorite, and by far one of our most consistent favorites from Kacey Musgraves, so it should be no surprise to see it do so well overall. Unfortunately, that trajectory graph is a bit of a heartbreaker, as this song was one of our first most consistent #1 contenders, and even managed to be a top 10 contender for the entire rankdown until nathanalbright's last place rank came at the very end!

Speaking of that disappointing run for "Follow Your Arrow", the same thing is about to happen yet again, as our next song was our most consistent #2 contender, and was even still in the top 5 until the last handful of lists!
