Whoa, it peaked a lot higher than I remember it did then. Thanks for catching that! I didn't even check because I thought it landed in the 30's somewhere, ha. I'll edit mine :)

72. Chris Young - "Neon"

Great idea for a thread.  I'm going to steal from sabre14, 7 songs and will come back w/ 13 more.  I particularly would advocate for Gary Allan, Wade Bowen and Brian McComas - how these three songs didn't become hits, I have no freaking clue.  All Comes Flooding Down is masterful songwriting IMO.

Question for you sabre14, while I love Bluebonnets, don't you think That Look by Aaron Watson had everything you'd need for a Top 10 hit?  Bluebonnets is an incredible song, but not as radio friendly as That Look IMO.  I personally think if Blake Shelton had recorded That Look it would have shot to #1. 

Just curious about your perspective.

Aaron's label situation right now won't allow any song he releases to be big hits at mainstream Country radio; same thing goes for "All Comes Floodin' Down" by Brian McComas in 2006, because he was on independent Katapult Records, which did not have as many resources as other labels.

"That Look" is more radio-friendly but the thread is our personal favorites that never hit the top 20, I believe...

If Aaron Watson was on a major label in the mid 90's, "Bluebonnets" would have gone top 10, no doubt in my mind.

I think the same thing is going to happen to Cody Johnson's single "With You I Am". Great song that may miss charting real high because Cody isn't on a major label. Hopefully someone will pick him up and this song will reach it's full potential....

[tim]

I would most certainly agree with the aforementioned songs and add them to my list ("Angels," "Bluebonnets," "Drinkin' Man," "If I Don't Make It Back" "Goodbye On A Bad Day," "Papa Bear," "So You Don't Have To Love Me Anymore," "The Sound of a Million Dreams" and "We'll Come Back Around"), so I'll try and come up with some different ones (both newer and older in no particular order).

1. "21 Summer," Brothers Osborne (2016)
2. "Are We In Trouble Now," Randy Travis (1996)
3. "Are You With Me," Easton Corbin (2016)
4. "The Back of Your Hand," Dwight Yoakam (2003)
5. "Beat of Your Heart," Cory Morrow (2005)
6. "Dark Horse," Mila Mason (1997)
7. "Don't Lie," Trace Adkins (1999)
8. "Finding My Way Back Home," Lee Ann Womack (2006)
9. "Hard to Be Cool," Joe Nichols (2014)
10. "I Got a Car," George Strait (2014)
11. "I Want to with You," David Ball (1999)
12. "If You Ever Feel Like Lovin' Me Again," Clay Walker (2001)
13. "It's Not Over," Mark Chesnutt w/ Alison Krauss and Vince Gill (1998)
14. "Mayday," Cam (2016)
15. "Never Alone," Vince Gill (1989)
16. "No Fear," Terri Clark (2001)
17. "Now That's All Right With Me," Mandy Barnett (1996)

I'm a pop poster and I don't know much about country music as I've only listened to albums by Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Sam Hunt, Kacey Musgraves & Luke Bryan (aka the poppier ones). So, it was hard to find 20 songs that never made the Top 20 as I only know the hits. That's the best I can do

Another one for me is "Play, Ruby, Play" by Clinton Gregory. So catchy, and I love the combination of Wurlitzer electric piano and electric fiddle.

And OH MY GOD HOW DID I LEAVE HOUSE OF CARDS OFF MY LIST.

I love Billy Currington's "Drinkin' Town With A Football Problem". Where I grew up and where I went to college are two very football-centric communities, so it's certainly a song right up my alley. Definitely sounded like a smash when I first heard it. Oh well.

"Heartbreak Town" is fantastic. I still don't get why that one stalled out. I love Trisha's cover of "Inside Out", too.

I'd really have to think hard about this (harder than I'm willing to right now), but I heard this one today and remembered how much I loved it. "What Made You Say That" by Shania Twain.
