Which song will be most and least polarizing? Bar Back (Most), Getting Good (Solo) (Least) 5. Which radio single will do better - Ladies in the '90s, Getting Good (solo) or Getting Over Him? Getting Good 6. Which collaboration will do better - What Do You Think Of, Getting Good (with Trisha) or Getting Over Him? Getting Over Him 7. Which group of songs will perform better overall - Getting Good (EP), Getting Over Him (EP) or the album tracks? I hope it is the Getting Over Him EP! 8. Any other thoughts/predictions? Such a strong group of songs! I absolutely love the overall sound of the Getting Over Him EP. Her/Her team did an awful job of selecting which songs made the album from it though.

The last place is "If I Was a Beer", which honestly isn't that surprising. When Lauren released the "Getting Over Him" EP this song was the least liked by fans, and it's by far the least streamed song on the EP too. I don't think this is a bad song, and some of the lyrics might even be clever. But I wouldn't put it amongst her best work. With one of the smallest standart deviations, this last place isn't controversial, but it did manage to get 2 top10's from d3vin44 and .indulgecountry. It also has 3 last places, but it actually got more #18 rankings (5).

None of the songs on the album were outright bad to me. Some just didn’t impress me as much as the others, this is one of them.

"Goodbye Street" had a great start, with 3 top10's ( nathanalbright , codyj100 , jab820 ) on the first four lists of this rankdown. However, after a while a lot of bottom rankings started coming in. It never really was a last place contender though, and it only hit #23 with the last list ( tim). As you can see, I ranked this last so I'm not a fan of it. For me, it feels like it doesn't go anywhere and it's just a filler on the album.

"You Ain't a Cowboy" is the first song out to be on a top5 - and it was on 2. But it also had more bottom 3s than any other song in this last (8 bottoms 3 out of 18 lists - almost half).

I can get on board with the first two being out, but where is the love for “You Ain’t a Cowboy”? Sad day!

Written by Lauren with the Love Junkies, "Same Story Different Saturday Night" had a rough start on this rankdown. It didn't get a single last placement, but all the first rankings were at low positions. So, it was the last place on the beginning and to be honest it felt like it would never get out of there, until zdm1998 gave its first out of 5 top10s. This is it for today, I'll try to get back tomorrow and reveal from #20 to #16.

The bottom 2 rankings have me so confused. How does the masterpiece that is "If I Was A Beer" get dead last?! The way that chorus drops in, the entire beer/wine metaphor, her powerful awareness of her worth and value. And "Goodbye Street" is just such a beautiful vocal, one of the best on choruses on the album.

Oh damn I thought "Same Story, Different Saturday Night" bopped lol Same. It was one of the only new (non-single) uptempos tracks on the album that didn't feel like filler, lol. Like how are the very generic "When the Party's Over" and "Written in the Bar" still in this thing?? The latter of those two is literally a filler track that was written because of a line in "Same Story, Different Saturday Night" and is the #1 reason why it is OBVIOUS filler, lmao. Like they very clearly wrote this -- It ain't the kind of thing that's written in the stars / Yeah, it's the stuff you can't make up that's written in the bars -- as a solid bridge and then thought they could flesh it out into an entire song. Cringe.

Sometimes you gotta know when it's time to let go... "Somebody Else's Problem" is the first song from the "Getting Good" EP to be gone. This song is so catchy to me, it has a great summer vibe, but it seems like most people just find it okay! Not hated but not loved either. It was going to be 3 spots higher until the very last list!

The "Getting Good" EP loses another song in a row. I never liked "Country in Me" that much, but I know the song has some big supporters, and we've seen this here with 3 top7s. The songs journey was kind of constant, not going higher than 17 or lower than 22 after the second list.

I like all the songs from #21 ("Same Story, Different Saturday Night") to Getting Good! Disappointing reveals!

Okay, I thought a lot about whether I should put the two versions of "Getting Good" on this rankdown. I ended up deciding to do it, as I couldn't cut the single version, but the duet is the one that's on the album. I thought about putting "Getting Good" (Solo or w/ Trisha) but it dind't felt right either, as some people may have a strong opinion about one version over the other.
And I don't wanna spoil how far the solo version went, but that's what happened here. Some of you have both versions one after the other, which means you think the quality of both versions is kind of the same. However, some of you have put one version a lot of spots higher than the other - and that always happened with the solo version being ahead of the duet one!

"Written in the Bar" not being at the bottom of this RD is a farce. It is straight up filler and has beaten way too many songs with much more meat on the bones. Sad.

"Written in the Bar" is just one point ahead of "Getting Good", which was just one point ahead of "Country In Me" - that was close! This song was looking like it would be a bottom 5 finish, until maine (first member to lose a #2 - but I'll be right after him) and bboat11's lists came in a row. It also got a top5 from kf1992. I love this song but I do understand .indulgecountry's criticism about the whole plot being the same as one of "Same Story, Different Saturday Night" lines - that was an odd thing to do!
