"I'd Love You All Over Again" was released in January 1991 as the last single from Alan Jackson's debut album, Here in the Real World, and went on to become his first number 1 single on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. Despite briefly slipping into the bottom 20 early on, this song swiftly rebounded into the top half and remained there for the rest of its run. Although it held a position in the vicinity of the top 30 during the middle portion of its run, it gradually slipped back in the rankings as a few more participants joined someguy in the bottom 20, with his being the sole bottom 10 ranking. Nevertheless, the majority of the group still positioned this song within their top 50.

It's worth mentioning that this marks the departure of the first of four Alan Jackson songs, leaving "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow," "Don't Rock the Jukebox," and "Someday" still in the running. This also underscores George Strait's dominance, as all four of his songs continue to remain in the competition untouched.

"Pocket Full of Gold" was released in January 1991 as the first single and title track from Vince Gill's album Pocket Full of Gold. The song reached number 7 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart becoming his third top 10 country hit. This song began its journey just outside the top 10 here, thanks to a top 15 ranking from George Strait Junkie. However, it promptly dipped back out of the top half when someguy gave it one of two bottom 10 rankings. Fortunately, it made a swift recovery and maintained a consistent presence in or near the top half for the rest of its run. Its position in the top half was solidified in the final stretch, courtesy of a single top 10 ranking from Kanenrá:ke.

"One of Those Things" was released in April 1991 as the second single from Put Yourself in My Place which was the first studio album Pam Tillis recorded for Arista Records. The song peaked just shy of the top 5 becoming her second top 10 country hit. Tied in points with "Pocket Full of Gold," this song proved to be the more polarizing of the two and didn't maintain a consistent performance in comparison. It only managed to break into the top half on three occasions, and interestingly, two of those instances occurred in the final stretch. Regrettably, bboat11 loses his second top 5 ranking, while 🌺CountryLineDancer endured his third top 10 loss. On the brighter side, gardyfan can now celebrate the clearing of his bottom 10 rankings.

The next song to exit the competition had its highest position just inside the top 15 initially, but quickly dropped out of the top half.

"Blame It on Texas" was released in March 1991 as the third single from Mark Chesnutt's debut album, Too Cold at Home, and went on to become his third consecutive top 5 country hit. The exit of this song follows on the heels of "Your Love is a Miracle" leaving "Brother Jukebox" as his last remaining song in contention. This song initially entered the competition inside the top 15, thanks to George Strait Junkie's ranking. However, its position quickly plummeted out of the top half as someguy followed up with a last-place ranking. It took some time to shake off that setback, but eventually, in the latter half of its run, it clawed its way back into the top half. During its journey, nuggie99 lost a top 5 ranking, and Cody Wants Out... lost a top 10 ranking due to this song's exit. Eight other participants consistently placed it in their top half, with the majority of those rankings falling within the top 40. Nonetheless, owing to the few bottom 20 rankings it accumulated, it ranks as the tenth most polarizing song.

"Keep It Between the Lines" was released in July 1991 as the second single from Ricky Van Shelton's fourth studio album, Backroads, and was the tenth and final No. 1 single of his career. This comes after the departure of "Life's Little Up and Downs," which exited in the bottom 3, along with "I Am a Simple Man." This leaves his duet with Dolly Parton, "Rockin' Years," as his last remaining song in the competition. Once more, thanks to George Strait Junkie, this song secured its highest position right from the beginning, coming just shy of his top 15 ranking. However, it quickly fell out of the top half completely as one of three bottom 20 rankings from someguy appeared early in its run. Despite this setback, it managed to recover and even briefly flirted with the top 30 during the middle part of its run. It ultimately settled in and around the top 40. gardyfan was the sole participant to lose a top 10 ranking, while I placed it just outside of that, followed by a third top 15 ranking from Kanenrá:ke. Having lost my own father in the summer of 1990, as a young boy, this song resonated deeply with me. It may very well be one of the reasons I found myself drawn to country music. Songs like this had the power to express the grief I was experiencing but couldn't articulate it such a young age. This song continues to be one of my all-time favorites by Ricky Van Shelton, and it's a track I still revisit frequently even to this day.

"Love Can Build a Bridge" was released in 1990 as the second single and title track from The Judds' sixth and final studio album of the same name. It went on to become a top 5 hit in early 1991 and marked their nineteenth and final top 10 hit. This song initially found itself in the unenviable position of being a bottom 2 contender, thanks to George Strait Junkie, who had previously started the last couple of songs at their highest point. That unfortunate ranking was followed by another bottom 2 from kw9461 and, coupled with a third bottom 5 from nuggie99, it appeared as if this song might have to settle for a bottom 30 placement. However, it received significant support in the final stretch, with both Cody Wants Out... and .indulgecountry giving it back-to-back top 10 rankings. This momentum continued with a #1 ranking from CoJoFan, who, unfortunately, becomes the first participant to say goodbye to their top-ranked song. Despite a late top 5 ranking from taylor is terrified, LBTrocks closed things out with a fourth and final bottom 5 ranking, pushing this song back outside of the top 40. Overall, this song stands as the most polarizing one in the rankdown.

"Ball and Chain" was released in June 1991 as the third single from Paul Overstreet's third studio album, Heroes, and it went on to become his seventh solo top 5 country hit. Once again, George Strait Junkie played a role in kick-starting a song with its highest ranking position in the rankdown, placing it in his top 15. Although it temporarily fell out of the top half in the early stages of its run, it managed to regain its footing in the middle and maintained a solid presence in the top half from then on. sabre14 matched George Strait Junkie's top 15 ranking, and seven other participants also ranked it in their top half. The song received only a few bottom 30 rankings, with bigd79 providing the sole bottom 10 ranking. This marks the second Paul Overstreet song to exit, following the departure of "Heroes" earlier in the rankdown. As a result, his only solo number one hit, "Daddy's Come Around," remains in the running.

"The Moon Over Georgia" was released in April 1991 as the fourth single from Shenandoah's third studio album. Extra Mile, and reached number 9 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. This exit follows on the heels of "I Got You" which left just as we entered the top half leaving ""Ghost in This House" as the groups last remaining song. Throughout its run, this song only departed from the top half once and consistently maintained a strong position, hovering in and around the top 40. This achievement can be attributed to the majority of the group ranking it at or near their top 50, with only five participants relegating it to their bottom 30. Notably, gardyfan lost a top 15 ranking, while both CoJoFan and George Strait Junkie lost a top 20 ranking with this song's exit.

I thought surely we would've at least lost "Rodeo" by now. I knew the others would probably be propped up awhile since they're among his more recognizable hits but that one is absolute DRECK. "Rodeo" can leave as well. Speaking of, "Rodeo" has managed to find its way into the top 40...so it must have some supporters after all
