The first three lines of "Something's Gotta Give" pop into my head at the most random of times.

Although it came down to my 4 and 5 I am happy that "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" came out on top! Strangely enough, I didn't like it when it was first released but then it clicked and I fell in LOVE with it. The melody is gorgeous and the lyrics are so powerful. "Nothin' Bout Love Makes Sense" is just fun. Melodically, it's extremely pleasing as is the instrumentation/production. I really love the beat on it, too. Thanks taylor for hosting this!!

And there you have it! “Probably Wouldn’t Be This Way” is declared the winner of the This Woman rankdown, and it’s incredibly deserving. This is one of the best country songs of all time in my humble opinion. It starts out as seemingly another breakup song, but then halfway through the song, towards the end of the second verse, this bomb gets dropped on us out of nowhere: You oughta see the way these people look at me/When they see me ‘round here talking to this stone. What a heartbreaking reveal. I can’t imagine losing my future significant other; I don’t think I’d be able to withstand that level of agony. Very, very deserving winner!
Thank y’all for commenting and following along tonight, it made revealing the Top 10 tonight a lot of fun! Stay tuned for the next two albums to be launched soon!

Wish the top 2 were in reverse order, but I can't complain because both "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" and "Nothin' 'bout Love Makes Sense" are phenomenal songs on two opposite ends of the spectrum of what LeAnn can do. Glad the throwaway single "Something's Gotta Be Corny" didn't unseat either of them for a spot in the top 2. It's an okay song, but the verse melody is so clunky and has always rubbed me the wrong way. 4. Some People
Total: 73 Average: 5.21 Std. Dev.: 2.81
The shade of not posting the music video for this one. It's her best video, too. Even ignoring the fact that it centers around her & her ex-husband that she'd divorce a few years later, lol. But... it's GORGEOUS! Just like the song. Glad it still made the top 4 despite being the flop single from the album.

For what it’s worth I only ignored the video because I thought it had the instrumental featured on Whatever We Wanna unless that’s another thing about this album that I was wrong about

I'm in for Whatever We Wanna when that happens. I found the CD on import in a Borders or Best Buy years ago and freaked TF out. Even though it's FINALLY on US streaming, it's a disc I've kept despite downsizing my CD collection.

Ok catch up time! "Won't Be Lonely Long" I'm a little surprised was out 10th. I always thought it had a great melody that stood out on the album. Thought I'd be on the lower end with my ranking. "With You" I always love when I'm hearing it, but I seen it was mentioned that people forget how it goes and I'm in the same boat. Maybe it's the generic title? But when I'm listening to it I'm always happy, especially love the production on it. "You Take Me Home" I wish this had been the 3rd single over "Something's Gotta Give", to me this is catchier and has such a great feel good energy. "I Dare You" is a damn good cover, I am still partial to SHeDAISY's original, but I couldn't be happier with how LeAnn does it justice. A little surprised with how many tankers this had, I think it's one of her best ballads and she's got so many so that's saying something. "Some People" slays vocally, melodically and lyrically. That bridge is simply fantastic! One of my favorite love songs ever, I'd love to hear co-writer Joanna Cotten do it as well and have LeAnn do more from her song writing catalog. I think they'd suit each other to a T. Fun story, last month my sister got married. I had this song dedicated to her and her husband (and had to force them to dance to it), then when the bridge comes in we stopped the song and I had a Cameo of LeAnn singing it to them. Made my sister cry haha "Something's Gotta Give" I'm not mad they chose this as a single since it did do so well, but with how much I adore the rest of the album I remember being a little disappointed this was chosen. Still jam out to it though when I hear it. "Nothin' 'Bout Love Makes Sense" is so cute. I love how playful it is, and her phrasing throughout the song is great. I don't think she's ever captured this feeling before or after. "Probably Wouldn't Be This Way" is just stunning, this should be considered a modern country classic. The story it tells and how perfect her vocal captures the complicated emotions. I'm so happy it was the hit it was, I can't imagine something like this becoming a hit these days.

With LeAnn’s brand new album coming tonight, it feels like the best time to get the next two albums in her series going! I Need You (2001)I Need You is a compilation album of recordings from throughout her time up to that point with Curb Records. It was made solely to fulfill her contract, which she was wanting out of. It was initially released without her approval, and she denounced the album. She would later go on to re-release the album of her own accord a short while thereafter. Included on the album is one of her signature songs, “Can’t Fight the Moonlight,” from the motion picture Coyote Ugly. Tracklist:1. Light the Fire Within 2. I Need You 3. But I Do Love You 4. You Are 5. Soon 6. Can’t Fight the Moonlight 7. Love Must Be Telling Me Something 8. Written in the Stars (with Elton John) 9. One of These Days 10. I Believe In You 11. Together, Forever, Always Spotify playlist: Whatever We Wanna (2006)This more pop rock-oriented album includes in its deluxe edition three remixes of various songs from the record, which I’ve marked with an asterisk. You’re free to rank either edition of that song you prefer! Tracklist:1. Satisfied 2. And It Feels Like* 3. For the First Time 4. Save Myself 5. A Little More Time 6. Rumor Bout A Revolution 7. Destructive 8. Strong* 9. Whatever We Wanna 10. Everybody’s Someone (with Brian McFadden) 11. Headphones* 12. Long Night 13. This Life 14. Break Me Down 15. Some People Spotify playlist: Due: Friday, October 21, 2022

Howdy y’all! So…about that deadline that passed literally two months ago… I of course had no intentions on leaving this in the dust that long, but I’m finally back to a point where I can easily focus on these albums. So that’s what I’m doing! I have lists entered in and am ready to receive more, so I’ve placed a new deadline of Friday, January 20, 2023. I know year-end chart rankdowns are the primary focus at the moment, and Christmas is literally a week away, so if an extension will wind up being needed we can work with it. I hope to see y’all join in for another round of LeAnn Rimes! Lists for I Need You received:1. taylor 2. nathanalbright 3. bat1990 4. someguy 5. castleoblivion26 6. Az Paynter Lists for Whatever We Wanna received:1. taylor 2. nathanalbright 3. bat1990 4. castleoblivion26 5. Az Paynter Due: Friday, January 20, 2023

I hope I'm not the only one who listens to Whatever We Wanna to want that album to be discovered when 2000's nostalgia hits hard this decade.

It's such a strong album that unfortunately got shafted only being released internationally at the time. I think she could've scored some hits from it State side.

I remember streaming the "And It Feels Like" video on her website (I think?) and being captivated by the song and video. It wasn't really a hit abroad either, it only peaked at #22 in the UK.
