I've always liked "Toes" well enough but it doesn't belong on this list really, like what was it doing in CMA Song Of That Year?

Also with the next elimination we'll see the only other song with 4 #100's leave ("Have You Forgotten" also had 4).

Toes is early ZBB at their finest. Easy and relaxing. That MV is too random though.

There are like 10 songs here that don't deserve Song OTY nom here anyway. Also with the next elimination we'll see the only other song with 4 #100's leave ("Have You Forgotten" also had 4). Please be Take Your Time.

"Toes" is just an awful song. I love that so many others agreed, and like Kanenrá:ke said, it had really no business being nominated for this award. Glad it's out in the bottom 20.

"Toes" is fine for me but why in the world is this song in this rankdown, CMA's? lol

Yeah, I love "Toes"... Zac's vocals are very genuine and passionate, and the overall musicianship of the song is top notch. I definitely prefer "Whatever It Is" if we compare singles from their debut album, but "Toes" is yet another song that I pretty much always jam out to when I hear it...
This rankdown is already getting brutal! I honestly can't think of anything that is left that I want to see leave!

"Toes" is one of the worst songs I have ever heard. The music video is disgusting and made me hate the song even more. I'm totally lost on ZBB.

ZBB is a band I also don't "get" aside from "Whatever It Is", which was a stellar song, and the appeal of "Chicken Fried" was obvious. Nothing else has worked for me.
List so far has been fine. No sad losses yet.

"Toes" was clearly one of ZBB's weakest links in this bunch, so I'm not too sad that it's gone already. It was okay when it was out, but they've definitely put out stronger and better material throughout the years. I'm sure "Colder Weather" will reign supreme in this rankdown, although I hope "Chicken Fried" can avoid the bottom 30. Also with the next elimination we'll see the only other song with 4 #100's leave ("Have You Forgotten" also had 4). Would absolutely love to see my almost-last-place go next, but I don't think there are enough detractors to keep it from missing the top 60 even. Hoping I lose another bottom 20 next.
Let me clarify something... I do know that anything below above my top 70 getting shot down means war in my eyes! I probably shouldn't have typed that night...

Absolutely love ZBB...stellar musicianship. As well, they have that same earthiness and lack of pretense that defines Alabama.

This song is trash as is most of Sam Hunts music. Yay at me sabre14 recordyear and stonemc06 having the same rank. Great to see I'm not alone in having this song in the bottom position!

Geez you guys did “Take Your Time” dirty. The chorus is gorgeous and his voice is too. I’m not even that bothered by the verse lol.
Lots of awful songs in this Rankdown that should have gone first tbh

I am REALLY surprised to see that "Take Your Time" escaped the bottom 10, but I am also thrilled! I love that song so much. The mix of talking/singing in this song actually comes across as really creative to me, probably because of the way he transitions from talking to singing in the middle of lines. As far as Sam Hunt's singles go, this one is by far the best to me.

For the record I don't hate Sam Hunt's voice (after all he doesn't have awful twang like some of country males...likely because he does not have that much country root to start with lol). But it is the lyrics that suck. The protagonist is too egoistic for me. Imagine you are the woman that he is talking to, wouldn't you be scared when he says "I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here", and somehow justifies his action by "you're still here", "I couldn't just walk by and not say, "Hi""? I mean he portrayed this as if he is helping the woman but really he is just helping himself to feel better. This mindset is also shown in Drinkin' Too Much (yikes). The music video might improve the song a little bit by introducing domestic violence, so it might be reasonable that he approaches her to help her. And doesn't Jake Owen talk-sing before Sam Hunt? And why is this song in a country rankdown anyway? ;)

Not a fan of Sam's music and I hit skip on the radio whenever he comes on, but "Take Your Time" is the one exception that I'll listen to as I do like the song.
