“Rumor ‘Bout a Revolution” just feels like such a nothing song to me…it starts off promising, but then just never really goes anywhere. It’s one that I find myself actually tending to skip from what is mostly a quite solid album otherwise.

“Destructive” really had something going for it at the beginning, with an instrumental that gave off the slightest hints of Evanescence vibes. If the production had leaned a little bit further in that direction, that maybe would’ve helped push the song up higher onto my list.

“A Little More Time” didn’t make it far at all on my list, BUT I do find myself gravitating towards this song more as it’s a perfect descriptor for where I’m at in my life and sort of the frame of mind I’m currently in. The song gets big appreciation for that. It’s always so cool when older songs like this manage to find you at the right time years later!!!

Just a little ways into the Top 10, we see our first #1 loss at the expense of bat1990 with the reveal of the album’s title track, “Whatever We Wanna.” This song is FUN! It’s a little repetitive, but it’s got a really cool feel to it. Almost like something that would be part of the soundtrack to one of those mid-90s/early-2000s teen flicks!!!

Y’all…”Headphones” is a JAM!!!! The fact that this was not a lock for the Top 5 is just tragic. The production on this is early 2000s pop magic, and the melody of LeAnn’s vocal delivery here is perfection. Easily one of my favorites from this album. This is quite honestly a song I’d perform a lip-sync to

I know I went through this rankdown in lightning speed mode, so I’ll go ahead and pause now as we knock on the door of the Top 5!!!
Satisfied Strong And It Feels Like Some People Save Myself
Feel free to make Top 5 predictions and comment on the results so far!

I'm struck by how we really don't have a lot of consensus on this particular album.

I'm struck by how we really don't have a lot of consensus on this particular album. I think if there had been just a couple more submissions, we would’ve been able to reach one and have a bit more consistency to these results because they do (mostly) definitely feel out of whack.

“Save Myself” is lovely. I love the production choice for this one; and like “A Little More Time,” it’s a good descriptor for the heights I want to take my life to as soon as possible.

With a participant pool this small, all it takes is a few to make one of the most popular songs in the rankdown become the most polarizing!! That’s exactly what happened with “Strong,” thanks to the three of us outliers who put this in our bottom 5. If not for that, this would likely have been in the Top 2, if not the winner.

"Strong" is oversung and overrated in my opinion. There were better choices for single #2.

There you have it! Sorry this was so anticlimactic, lol.
”And It Feels Like” is phenomenally sung and produced. It was an easy #1 for me; but “Some People” could’ve just as easily been my #1 as well as that’s another one of my favorites from LeAnn.
The next two albums are coming up soon!

This really ought to have been a lot closer. 'Some People' is gorgeous in either iteration and those low rankings suck lol.

Are you sure the names attached to those rankings are correct, or did you make an input error? 'This Life' was my #15 too. It was mine too...but my list was forgotten :'(
