I'm glad my top 3 ranking for "It Was Me" propelled it into the top 2 in the final moments as I originally had this ranked as such. I only moved it back one spot with my last revision. I honestly just as easily could've put this at the top of my list because it's in fact my most played song from her lol.

"Good Ole Boy" takes the win over "It Was Me". I can't say it was close in the end - another #1 for "It Was Me" + a last place for "Good Ole Boy" wouldn't change the outcome. But it wasn't a easy win as "Good Ole Boy" wasn't leading until the last 5 lists. With 10 top5's, I think most people will be satisfied with "Good Ole Boy" winning this rankdown.
Both are amazing songs that stood out as fan favorites as soon as they were released. Many people wanted "Good Ole Boy" to be Lauren's next single, but with her leaving UMG this album is most likely done, which is unfortunate!
THANK YOU to all of you who sent your lists in, and all of you that are keeping up with the results and sharing your thoughts. Hope you liked the rankdown, I really enjoyed hosting it! :)

Not entirely surprised to see "Good Ole Boy" come out on top here considering that it has always seemed to be well-liked amongst Pulse. That is of course made evident by the fact that it was one of the least polariizing songs which likely hindered the chances for "Ladies in the '90s". It's just disappointing that we only got two singles from the album and that radio has yet to fully embrace her for whatever reason. Thanks for the hosting duties lipe and for letting me send in my list late lol! I always enjoy getting a chance to go back and revisit her songs.

"Good Ole Boy" is a sensational song and I'm very happy with this outcome! She's really had a LOT of fumbles over the course of her career, but this song not seeing a release definitely strikes me as one of them. I'm glad she's moving on from her former label of over a decade because something like this should've been a smash for her, but given her track record, it probably would've been another disappointing finish. Looking forward to seeing her next move and hoping that wherever she lands will give her the proper push to get back into the top 20 or higher.

Doesnât look like this changes the outcome here, but I ranked âIt Was Meâ at #2, not #12.
Wouldâve much preferred IWM over GOB but both are great and I love seeing an underdog album track win an album RD!

I never really cared for Ladies in the 90s for some reason. Iâve just never cared for songs that basically just name drop other songs, didnât care for Thomas Rhettâs Whatâs Your Country Song either.
Good Ole Boy sitting at #1 like it should. That shouldâve been a single. I actually commented on one of Laurenâs past Tik Toks telling her to tell her label that we wanted it and she liked the comment, so at least she knows lol. Happy she is hopefully moving to a label that will focus on her more.

"The Other Side" is the best song here easily. Disappointed to see it tanked to 4th.
That said the final 3 are all great songs as well so I cannot complain too much, I just love "The Other Side" so much.

Thanks for hosting the rankdown. I must say it made me a lot more familiar with Lauren Alaina's music. Let's hope she has a better experience with her next label and album era.

This was an awesome rankdown and I love seeing those VERY deserving album cuts take the top 2. The Top 10 songs on this list (and arguably top 15) are ridiculously excellent in my opinion. I almost wish she would've made the album 3-4 songs shorter and eliminated some of the fluff - it would have been a much stronger body of work.
Hopefully the next LA rankdown is in less than 5 years, and hopefully is released via major label. I am starting to feel nervous that she may stick independent and not push radio singles; I could see her really delving into her Opry membership and extracurricular activities (TV/acting/philanthropy) instead.
