I could have sworn I submitted my list earlier in the week to Cody, but it looks like I didn't...glad I double checked! I would have hated missing out on this one.

Apparently same thing happened to me since I couldn't find mine and submitted it again.

Just submitted mine!

[Pale Shelter]

there truly was never a time when I thought to myself, ya know what, I "want nothing more than to listen to Kenny Chesney" ... never have I thought that, never will I think that!

sorry, wouldn't normally intrude but double negatives y'all!

I turned my in. Apparently to the wrong person 😂. Lemme fix that haha.

That was much harder than I thought It would be. I discovered a lot of great songs. He is certainly more than just a guy who was married to Bridget Jones for 4 months

Doing my list now...I forget just how boring I find most of his stuff.

...which is why I had your tag removed.

P.S. You can still send in your list, though.

Hey the handful of songs I like by him will at least get a boost. lol

[Cody Wants Out...]

Okay. At this point, I'm going to go ahead and close submissions. I'll be back later to give out some prediciton questions and I'll begin results towards the end of the week.

On second thought, I wait for a list from Troublemaker since we currently have three ties, hoping that he'll break at least one of them, if not all of them. After the end of the day though, I will close submissions for GOOD. I have lots of work to do for this one and I may not have the time I need to get everything done.

[Cody Wants Out...]

Okay, submissions are now officially closed. Prediction questions are coming tomorrow.

[Cody Wants Out...]

Alrighty guys! I will start results this Friday and gather graphics and charts for the bottom 20 in the meantime. Here are a few questions to get us started:

1. What do you think are possible #1 contenders? Top 5? Top 10?
2. What songs will be eliminated first in the bottom five or bottom 10?
3. What songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?
4. Where would these 'polarizing' songs land at?
5. What album will have it's singles eliminated first? Last?
6. Which of his collaborations will be eliminated first and when? Which one of those will last the longest and how far will it go?
7. What do you think the chances are of your #1 being the #1 for this rankdown? If it's not likely, where could your #1 place at?
8. What album will have the most album tracks featured? Least? Will there be any albums not featured at all (outside of it's singles)?

Have fun with your predictions!

1. What do you think are possible #1 contenders? Top 5? Top 10?

"You and Tequila", "A Lot of Things Different", "Never Wanted Nothing More", "There Goes My Life" or "I Go Back" are the songs I expect to do the best with maybe "Somewhere With You", "Come Over", "Anything But Mine", "The Good Stuff" and "Who You'd Be Today" rounding out the Top 10. Don't want to forget "There Goes My Life" and "What I Need To Do" which could take a Top 10 spot over the others I mentioned.

2. What songs will be eliminated first in the bottom five or bottom 10?

Hopefully "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven" leaves early as that song is terrible and one of his worst. Expect "Feel Like A Rock Star", "When The Sun Goes Down", "Pirate Flag", "I'm Alive", "Beer In Mexico", "Keg In The Closet", "The Boys of Fall", and "Noise" to not do all that well. Some of the other earlier songs "I Will Stand", "When I Close My Eyes", "Me and You", "A Chance", and "Grandpa Told Me So" I expect will go a bit earlier than others also.

3. What songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?

No idea what most people like and what people don't like from Kenny but am thinking "Who You'd Be Today" might have some haters (hope not as it should be #1). Gonna also guess "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy", "American Kids", and " Big Star" will be a bit polarizing as well. For least polarizing I'm gonna guess "You and Tequila", "Noise" and "You Had Me From Hello".

4. Where would these 'polarizing' songs land at?

I really don't know other than the ones I expect Top 10 and bottom 10. Do think "American Kids" will be between 25 and 16. 

5. What album will have it's singles eliminated first? Last?

Albums that will do the worst are: All I Need To Know, Me and You, Lucky Old Sun, Greatest Hits II, and Life On A Rock

Last I think is between: Hemingway's Whiskey, Just Who I Am, I Will Stand, The Road and The Radio, No Shoes No Shirt No Problems, and When The Sun Goes Down

6. Which of his collaborations will be eliminated first and when? Which one of those will last the longest and how far will it go?

"You and Tequila" will last the longest. The lowest will be between: "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven", "I'm Alive", "When The Sun Goes Down" or "Feel Like A Rock Star".

7. What do you think the chances are of your #1 being the #1 for this rankdown? If it's not likely, where could your #1 place at?

It should be #1 in my opinion obviously. Realistically I don't really know but feel like it should be at least top 5. 

8. What album will have the most album tracks featured? Least? Will there be any albums not featured at all (outside of it's singles)?

no idea

Come on guys! I want more predictions!

[fearlessarrow]

1. What do you think are possible #1 contenders? Top 5? Top 10?
I Go Back, There Goes My Life, Never Wanted Nothing More, Don't Blink are top 5 contenders imo. With regards to the top 10, I would love it if Don't Happen Twice can make it. I don't really know how his 2010s stuff would fare, maybe Come Over or Somewhere with You can do well out of those.

2. What songs will be eliminated first in the bottom five or bottom 10?
His really early stuff when his vocals were terrible, and his more forgettable/not so good 2010s songs ("Feel Like a Rock Star" comes to mind but stuff like "Til It's Gone" as well)

3. What songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?
Something like "Young" or "Keg in the Closet". As for least polarizing, I have no idea. One of the ones I mentioned for the top 5 contenders would be my best guess.

4. Where would these 'polarizing' songs land at?
Somewhere in the 30s?

5. What album will have its singles eliminated first? Last?
I'm actually confused about this question. Are you asking which album will have all of its singles eliminated first/last or which album will be the first/last one to lose a song? I'm leaning towards the former because it says "singles" not "a single" but I just wanted to clarify. 

6. Which of his collaborations will be eliminated first and when? Which one of those will last the longest and how far will it go?
First: Feel Like a Rock Star, and probably in the bottom 5.
Last: You and Tequila, top 20?

7. What do you think the chances are of your #1 being the #1 for this rankdown? If it's not likely, where could your #1 place at?
I think it's a lock for the top 10, and pretty high chance of being in the top 5. But #1? I think it has a shot but there are other competitors.

8. What album will have the most album tracks featured? Least? Will there be any albums not featured at all (outside of it's singles)?
I have no idea. I've only listened to one or two of his albums in full...

[bboat11]

1. What do you think are possible #1 contenders? Top 5? Top 10? "I Go Back", "Young", "The Good Stuff", "How Forever Feels", "Don't Happen Twice", "I Lost It", "Somewhere With You", "She's Got It All", "Don't Blink", and "Anything But Mine" are all likely top 10 contenders, imo. Honorable mentions to "Come Over", "Setting The World On Fire", and "Who You'd Be Today". I'd love to see "You Had Me From Hello" in the top 10 as well, but that might not happen because it is a love song (which automatically makes it "cheesy".)

I honestly have no idea what will be #1, because his songs are so rarely talked about in a positive light around here that I don't know which ones are the most liked! I'm gonna go way out on a limb and predict that "The Good Stuff" will take the crown.

2. What songs will be eliminated first in the bottom five or bottom 10? "Feel Like A Rockstar", "Pirate Flag", "Shiftwork", "When The Sun Goes Down", "Everybody Wants To Go To Heaven", "I'm Alive", and "Ain't Back Yet", seem like obvious bottom-10 contenders for me. I think "Feel Like A Rockstar" will be the first elimination.

3. What songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing? Most: "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy", "No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems". Least: "Noise", "The Good Stuff", "Feel Like A Rockstar", "Anything But Mine".

4. Where would these 'polarizing' songs land at? Most of the polarizing songs will be towards the middle.

5. What album will have it's singles eliminated first? Last? Life on a Rock will probably be the first to lose all of its singles, followed by Greatest Hits II. I'm going to predict that No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems will be the last album to lose all its singles, because "Young" and "The Good Stuff" should do pretty well.

6. Which of his collaborations will be eliminated first and when? Which one of those will last the longest and how far will it go? "Feel Like a Rockstar" will probably be first, and this will happen in the bottom 5 (probably last place). Can I say "I Lost It" is a collaboration, because Pam Tillis sings background vocals? Because that will probably be the last one to leave! If not, I think that "Setting The World On Fire" with P!nk will definitely have the next best chance.

7. What do you think the chances are of your #1 being the #1 for this rankdown? If it's not likely, where could your #1 place at? I don't think it is very likely... My #1 will probably be in the top 15, but its chances of even making the top 10 are pretty iffy. I hope it makes it!!!

8. What album will have the most album tracks featured? Least? Will there be any albums not featured at all (outside of it's singles)? No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems and When The Sun Goes Down will probably be the most popular albums overall. Maybe one of his earlier ones will have no album tracks featured, like All I Need To Know or Me And You.

[bboat11]

Also, I am really excited for this to start! The bottom songs in this rankdown are going to truly deserve to be bottom songs, but once we get to the top 20, or maybe even the top 30, the battle is going to be ferocious! Kenny really does have a lot of excellent songs, even if they were overplayed. I cannot wait to see how modern classics like "Come Over" and "Somewhere With You" compare to 2000s classics like "I Go Back" and "Anything But Mine". And then throw in classics from just before his prime like "I Lost It" and "Young", and '90s classics like "You Had Me From Hello" and "How Forever Feels"... It will be interesting to see if there is an era of his career that truly dominates!

Personally I would like to see the late '90s/early '00s music dominate. His earlier '90s material was inconsistent, the mid-00s was overplayed, and the '10s have definitely seen a dip in quality. I think that right before he hit the big time is where the best music was to be found.

A little busy for predictions but if it doesn't start soon then I'll try getting them in!

Noise, Pirate Flag, I'm Alive, Shiftwork - I think one of these songs will be eliminated first.

3. What songs will be the most polarizing? Least polarizing?
Most - American Kids and She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy

4. Where would these 'polarizing' songs land at?
I think in bottom 20 - I expect them to have a few high ranks but more than half people will rank them very low.

5. What album will have it's singles eliminated first? Last?
To lazy to look which song is on which album and whic songs were released as singles.

6. Which of his collaborations will be eliminated first and when? Which one of those will last the longest and how far will it go?
First - Shiftwork - bottom 10
Last - Setting the World on Fire (with Pink) - top 10

7. What do you think the chances are of your #1 being the #1 for this rankdown? If it's not likely, where could your #1 place at?
non-existent I guess. I hope it will end up in top 10 but I'm quite sure it will end up in top 20.

8. What album will have the most album tracks featured? Least? Will there be any albums not featured at all (outside of it's singles)? See question 5.

I did see your comment about it in the 1998 rankdown, and I agree!
Exhibit A: I love Ed Sheeran love songs a lot ("Thinking Out Loud" and "Perfect" for example)!

Yay, I'm not the only one! Nothing beats a really good love song, in my opinion :-) "Thinking Out Loud" and "Perfect" are prime examples! Granted, there are plenty that ARE really cheesy. I just feel like the good ones should NOT be lumped into the same category as those ones just because some people are too ignorant to differentiate between art and cheese.

[BackwoodsBarbie]

^
I know I like love songs describes as cheesy a little too much but what's wrong with them in first place? They usually have really nice melodies and gives off positive vibes. I just googled most cheesy love songs of all time and those lists looks very similar to my playlist (I mean if Heaven, Lady in Red, My Heart Will Go On and Truly Madly Deeply are described as cheesy then more cheese for me please)

Back on topic - So whether You Had Me From Hello is cheesy or not I like it a lot and I hope it will end up really high .
