"Bar Back" is a very well-liked song among her fan base, and a lot of fans wanted it to be included on the album. I'm certainly a part of that, love both the lyrics and the melody of this song! It had a lot of support here, with 5 top5's.
When the top10 songs were just a few points away from each other, it went from #2 to #10 with 2 lists and then from #10 back to #5 with the next two lists, but in the end it established at #10.

"Change My Mind" had a STRONG start, being the top song for 4 consecutive lists. Then it took a hit with 🌺CountryLineDancer's #21 and another one with castleoblivion26's #23 - and it never recovered from it, even with kf1992's #1 right after. Still, it managed to be on the top10 of 10 out of 18 lists!! I think this was a great song to end the album and I'm glad it got love here from Pulse

The next two songs were actually tied, one is above the other only because of the tie-breaker.

Seven top5's and twelve top10's is a good resume, but a few low rankings got "Run" out of the top5. I didn't love the song at first listen, but it grew on me a lot! For a moment it was looking like it would be the radio single instead of "Getting Over Him", but I doubt it would do much better than that one.
On another note, funny that these first 3 top10 cuts don't have a single perfect ranking.

"Getting Over Him" was the last collaboration standing, but it's also the first single to be gone. Looking at the chart-run, it felt like it wasn't even gonna make it to the top10, but some of the best lists from it were the last ones and it landed at #7 (no perfect rankings once again!). It had less top10s than "Run", but also 5 top3's versus only 2.
I had one of the lowest rankings for this, and it was the opposite of "Run" - I loved this at first, and then I ended up getting tired of it. Maybe it's because it was a single, but I just don't revisit this one that much. With that being said, it's a travesty that it did poorly on country radio, even with a Jon Pardi collab.

The last song to miss the top5 is "If The World Was a Small Town", and it leaves as the least controversial song on this rankdown! The lower ranking is a #16 - which is impressive. But it also didn't have a lot of top10's and especially top5's compared to the songs who ranked higher. It is the first song to have multiple #1s though (sorry zaclord 🌈 and jab820 ). When you look at the image, it might seem odd that a #14 from zdm1998 made the song fall from #1 to #6, but that was a moment that I was freaking out about how close the top10 songs were away from each other and I even commented about it on this thread, so really every point was making a difference!

The Top5:
"Getting Good" (Solo) "Good Ole Boy" "It Was Me" "Ladies in the '90s" "The Other Side"
It's crazy that 3 songs on the top5 are from the "Getting Good" (EP), when most people seem to think the "Getting Over Him" (EP) is better overall. and it even beat the whole album which has way more songs!!!

This is playing out just as I thought it might as I was anticipating most if not all of those five songs would exit before the top 5. Of those, "Run" and "If the World Was a Small Town" are personal favorites and so I was hoping that at least one of them would've made it in, though. All in all, this is a solid top 5 of which I still have four of them remaining!

Some of these last few reveals have been brutal -- like losing my #1 -- but this top 5 is STACKED so I ain't mad. Those are five fantastic songs.

"Getting Good" (solo) did MUCH better than the duet with Trisha. Written by Emily Weisband, it's the only song on this rankdown that Lauren didn't co-write. With the exception of codyj100, who ranked both versions on the last two positions, this song didn't get a lot of hate. It's on the top10 of almost 80% of the lists.

Anything less than a top 15 (or top 10 for that matter!) ranking for "Getting Good" is questionable at best lol! Wish this had been a bigger hit for her.

"The Other Side" was a BIG #1 contender for this. It was #1 from lists 9 to 13, and after that it was still pretty close to the number one. It was doing so good that even the last place list from d3vin44 didn't remove it from #2. But then another low ranking from tim dropped it to #4 - just a point ahead of "Getting Good". It got five top2's and three top1's ( bdrm87, fearlessarrow, castleoblivion26) - the most out of any song on the list! This is such a beautiful song. If you know the background behind the story of the song, it's hard not to get emotional when you listen to it.

Welp, speaking of questionable my own ranking for "The Other Side" stands out like a sore thumb. While I do like the song, it just doesn't quite click with me for whatever reason. It feels like an investment of time for me to get through it and one that I don't have a strong desire to ever revisit.

Wow! I am shocked! I thought it would surely be surely be the two singles fighting for the crown. Instead we're gonna get one of her best album cuts as a winner. 👀

I was waffling on what to put at the top of my list as really any one of my top 3 songs could've been placed there. In the end, though, I put "Ladies in the '90s" there as I've really come to enjoy that one a lot. Considering that there seems to be a nostalgia factor of '90s country making a return to the format, I can't help but wonder if this would be a bigger hit if released today.

Half of us had "Ladies in the '90s" on the top5! But it got a small amount of hate as well. This songs trajectory was one of the best to keep up with as it really started from the bottom (last place after the two first lists) and then it climbed to the top3.
It's one of my favorite singles of her career! It's upbeat and catchy. It deserved so much better - and it also deserved a better music video! lol
