If it makes you feel any better, you definitely come off as MUCH older!

I love Kane but not every single song he does and "Like I Love Country Music" is definitely a miss for me. The chorus is a wall of noise. Melody in verse does nothing for me either.

I like the music video tho... Cowboy Kane can STAY

Locker for thh 🤠 ❤️❤️

Seriously!

I'm very happy Carrie was able to sneak into the top 20! She was usually kinda in the Gabby/Tenille boat of trying to hang on just outside the top 20 without falling out of the top 30. The fact that she made it right at the end was very welcome! I know this song isn't everyone's favorite, but I personally love it. "I'll be haunting you, you'll be wanting me" is one of the best lyrics of 2022

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

I was kinda surprised that some posters had lukewarm response towards "Ghost Story," as I think it is a gorgeous lead single. Please Carrie, bring Crazy Angels to the radio next!

"Ghost Story" probably wasn't the best lead single pick, but I do love it. The album deserved better tho. So many jams.

Not my favorite brand from country Taylor.

[LBTrocks]

It's not even the vocals that is the problem on "I Bet You Think About Me" it is the fact that the song is so incredibly UGLY. The instrumentation is hideous, I know I talk about how much I hate harmonica but really it is only when it plays a melody I don't like and I abhor the melody it is playing in this song.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

"I Bet You Think About Me" is a big hit for Stapleton's standard, but a little miss for Taylor's standard. I like the last part of the song, but overall, it is a little messy.

[Fire]

lilcm nearly making the top 20 is um....questionable to say the least lol it's so annoying i don’t get the appeal of it at all lmao

[bboat11]

"I Bet You Think About Me" is a pretty fun song! I definitely can hear where it might not be everyone's thing, but I think it accomplishes exactly what it tries to. I bet this would be a lot of fun in concert.

Edit: How did I know that the harmonica would have already come up by the time I even finished typing these three sentences...

[Fanstar1]

Wait 7500 OBO is still in?

[taylor is terrified]

Glad to see “Ghost Story” in the Top 20 where it belongs! I was starting to fear for it awhile ago and brace myself, but it’s nice to see the lukewarm response has kinda rubbed off and that the song seems to have grown on Pulse. It certainly was NOT lead single material when “Crazy Angels” or “Burn” were sitting right there, but hopefully with “Out of That Truck” and the supposed deluxe edition, Denim & Rhinestones can get a second wind. It‘s among the best of Carrie’s albums and deserves so much better.

Hell yeah! As she deserves

[SHOOTER]

I wanted to like this more than I did. Still a huge Lainey fan though.

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

"Never Say Never" was a huge grower. I love its energy and the chorus harmony is on fire. Honestly surprised that it missed the top 15.

[LBTrocks]

Um no there are still some terrible songs left that need to go first, not this masterpiece!

I legit straight up almost put this as my #1 instead of "Holy Water" I love it THAT much.

This is 100% my style. First of all, the melody is insanely good. The production is killer. Lainey sounds HEAVENLY, as she always does... her and Cole sound good together. Glad this made top 20 but really, anything other than top 10 is just wrong.

[taylor is terrified]

I’m so happy Lainey Wilson was able to score another #1 hit following “Things A Man Oughta Know” thanks to Cole Swindell. “Never Say Never” is one of my favorites off of Stereotype.

[bboat11]

Cole Swindell has had a very good year both in real life and on Pulse! "Never Say Never" was definitely more popular around here because of Lainey Wilson being on it, and it was never going to be anything other than top 20! "She Had Me At Heads Carolina" remains though, making this I think the first time that Cole has ever had multiple songs in the top 20?!

Anyone want to make a prediction for how high "Carolina" will make it??
