Lainey Wilson is heading into November on fire with a fresh album, Whirlwind. The new record features 14 songs, including a collaboration with Miranda Lambert.

Wilson was asked to rank her songs on the album, which to a singer-songwriter is like picking which child is your favorite.

But she was up to the task and ranked five of the songs on her new album as they were blindly provided to her.

"This is gonna be hard because they're all my babies. But, '4x4xU,' ooh, shoot, I think it's gotta be 4," she says.

The next song in the carousel to pop up was "Hang Tight Honey."

"It's the first one I put out, out of these right here, so it's not old, but it kinda feels old — so, 5," she declares.

Next pops up "Good Horses," her collaboration with Lambert. "I got to do that with my girl, Miranda Lambert, 3," she says.

In comes the title track, "Whirlwind," which really makes Wilson light up.

"That's what my life has been lately," she says, meaning a "whirlwind." "So I guess it's gonna have to be No. 2."

The perfect song happened to pop up last, with only one spot left. "Well, that's a Kris Kristofferson song, so it would be sacrilegious for it not to be No. 1," Wilson says. "Help Me Make It Through The Night" is that song.
