This was a great year. Redneck Crazy will get tanked just cause of who the artist is. But.. Night Train better not get tanked because of who the artist is cause IMO it is one of Aldeans best songs.

[sabre14]

I was hoping "Be Grateful" by The Farm would make this but hopefully it's included in the 2012 rankdown, peaked at #37 in February of 2013. Will participate though!

[collinkottke]

Ooo! This is lovely! This is going to be tough... I apologize in advance for the havoc I am probably going to cause on this one.

[Kanenrá:ke]

No spotify play list yet eh? Guess I'll make my own.

[tim]

Just when I was going to take a month off from rankdowns...oh well this one should be pretty easy to knock out because there's only about maybe 30 songs that I actually like from this year so the remainder of my list will just be figuring out which songs I dislike more.

65. She Cranks My Tractor - Dustin Lynch

Yeesh, it's been so nice not hearing these gems the last couple years...


Also, it's nit-picking bboat11 lol, but "Want Me Too" never really charted in 2013, it was a 2014 single, It was released to radio two weeks before Christmas but it's considered a 2014 single. Also, "Til My Last Day" peaked in December of 2012.  :)

Well, "'Til My Last Day" is on the regular year-end chart, because I certainly wouldn't have thought to look at Justin Moore's catalog to make sure I didn't miss one of his songs I guess it must have made both the 2012 year-end and the 2013 one.

And "Want Me Too" was one that I missed in 2014, but it is certainly good enough to be recognized somewhere!

[toomuchboy]

Ranked about 25 of these automatically. Thankfully got to the end of the month to re-visit everything else. :)

[bboat11]

YouTube embeds have been added to the OP!

Feel free to share.

[raylatch98]

I won't do this. I'll just watch. One, I am retired from Rankdowns and two, this year was so awful in country music. So much garbage imo.

[carriefan15]

Yay excited about this one!!! I’ll definitely do it

[Cody Wants Out...]

You're making it hard for me to go on a rankdown hiatus!

I'll do this one, but my list won't be in until closer to the deadline.

“Night Train” will probably do well, it’s pretty well liked on Pulse.

Overall, this is kind of a boring year. There are some real gems on here though that I’m excited to listen to again. Happy to do this one.

[tim]

I normally use Apple Music to create my rankdown playlists but here's one for any Spotify users since it was requested



"All Kinds of Kinds" is the only song not available on Spotify

[carriefan15]

^ Thanks!!

This.

Better is PERFECTION.

[Mylo13 💜]

Please tag me for results!

BTW, I think my top 3 would have been:

1. Begin Again
2. Mama's Broken Heart
3. Highway Don't Care

[zaclord 🌈]

Oh god what a shitty list of songs. Luckily, the list got better as it went along but wow what an awful group of songs for the most part.

[zaclord 🌈]

Help. A Brantley Gilbert song almost made my top 50. That's how bad this list is

2013-2015 were the doldrums of Country radio. There’s still bad songs now but this is the time I had 8-12 songs at any given time I despised on radio.

Oh, you were way too kind to Kenny this year... These are two of my all-time least favorite Kenny singles.

Yeah, country music has definitely gotten better. Or at least less bad. There are easily 25ish songs I despise on this list that were contenders for my bottom 10. And then another 35ish songs I don’t really care for. It literally takes until I get to my top 40 to find a song I would say I actually liked.

How did we ever make it through these terrible years of music?! 😭

[tim]

Just started on this today and yea this was a really dull year for country music. I will say the one discovery for me that's been a highlight so far is Kristen Kelly's "He Loves to Make Me Cry." WOW this is good!

Such a great song and I'm glad they tried it as a single but looking back it probably wasn't the smartest move lol

[austin]

This is an awful year in music. wow.

[Cody Wants Out...]

I also started grad school that year. Perfect timing I guess?
