I can see "I Told You So", one of Kenny's songs, maybe Reba and/or Tracy, and possibly "Long Trip Alone" leaving soon.

My guesses for the next five out.
I Told You So, Keith Urban So Small, Carrie Underwood Long Trip Alone, Dierks Bentley As If, Sara Evans Nothin' Better To Do, LeAnn Rimes
Hopefully Kenny can advance both of his songs to the top 10, but he always has tankers so one or both may be out soon.

#20. Kenny Chesney - "Don't Blink"
Total Points: 969 Average: 44.04 Year Released: August 20th, 2007 Mediabase Peak: #1 Billboard Peak: #1 Rankings:CoJoFan - 1 sabre14 - 3 fearlessarrow - 7 g8erboi - 9 tim - 9 castleoblivion26 - 11 someguy - 14 George Strait Junkie - 15 zaclord 🌈 - 23 kw9461 - 26 bboat11 - 33 gonecountry - 36 rgreen0625 - 37 Cody Wants Out... - 42 bigfan101 - 48 d3vin44 - 68 austin - 77 toomuchboy - 87 carriefan15 - 91 keep hating guys LBTrocks - 106 .indulgecountry - 112 Kanenrá:ke - 114 "Don't Blink" was the second single off Kenny Chesney's Just Who I Am: Poets & Pirates album in August of 2007. It was the highest debut on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart (#16), but was broken the following week by "More Than A Memory" (#1). It reached #1 in just eight weeks in October and spent six weeks at #1 on Mediabase and five weeks atop Billboard.
The song was originally planned on as the lead single but Sony changed it up at the last minute to "Never Wanted Nothing More". Both songs spent a combined 10 weeks at #1 on Billboard and 11 weeks atop Mediabase. Kenny spent 14 weeks at #1 on Mediabase in 2007 ("Beer In Mexico"), the most of any artist this year. The song was written by Casey Beathard and Chris Wallin. Wallin got the idea after the death of three close family members in a two year period. Producer Buddy Cannon told them he wasn't looking for anymore ballads for Kenny's record but after listening to it, he bumped a song he wrote for "Don't Blink" and immediately conversed with the label on it being the lead single.
I love "Don't Blink." The lyrics are very good and the title is definitely something that grabs people's attention. I know Kenny has detractors here because of his vocals and cadence but I don't see how anyone can knock the song itself here.

I was too nice to the Chesney/Dierks Bentley songs. No way they should've made it this far.

The lyrics to “Don’t Blink” are good, but musically speaking the song sucks IMO

"Nothing Better To Do" was a song that I didn't necessarily love when it was current, BUT I do go out of my way to listen to it now. It has held up very well in my opinion, and I'm happy to see it do fairly well in this rankdown!

Well, as painful as the past 20 or so eliminations have been, I must say that I really can't complain about anything that is in this top 15!

Oh wait, I just realized my #98 is still in... That can gtfo anytime now, please and thank you. At least the song itself is really good, but it is without a doubt the second-most overplayed song of all time, behind only "Watching You"...

#12. Tracy Lawrence - "Find Out Who Your Friends Are"
Total Points: 858 Average: 39.00 Year Released: August 21st, 2006 Mediabase Peak: #1 Billboard Peak: #1 Rankings:d3vin44 - 2 toomuchboy - 9 bigfan101 - 11 tim - 14 gonecountry - 17 George Strait Junkie - 17 Cody Wants Out... - 24 austin - 30 rgreen0625 - 31 fearlessarrow - 33 sabre14 - 33 castleoblivion26 - 35 zaclord 🌈 - 37 .indulgecountry - 43 someguy - 43 CoJoFan - 46 kw9461 - 54 carriefan15 - 64 castleoblivion26 - 69 Kanenrá:ke - 70 bboat11 - 78 LBTrocks - 98 "Find Out Who Your Friends Are" was the lead single for Tracy Lawrence's For The Love album in August of 2006. It didn't reach #1 until June of 2007, taking 41 weeks on Billboard to do so. It spent two weeks atop Mediabase and one atop Billboard. It bounced around the 40s and 50s up until the holidays, when it finally started picking up some steam. It was promoted through Category 5 Records in conjunction with Tracy's Rocky Comfort Records label. It was at the time, the slowest climbing #1 single in Billboard Hot Country Songs chart history.
There's a version with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney as guest vocalists that was played at radio once the song hit the top 15 and radio stations started playing that version instead, which was on Tracy's For The Love album...but when the song was closing in on the top, Sony BMG sent cease and desist order to radio stations, demanding the Kenny version quit being played because they didn't grant permission. Stations refused and Sony soon sent an apology to stations -- Kenny Chesney was one who wanted Tracy's song to reach #1 and was okay with stations playing the version he was included on. Tracy says that version helped give the song an extra boost to #1. This was also the first time an artist scored a #1 radio single first time out, on a self-owned record label.
Love this song but I have heard it way too many times. I'm still amazed it lasted as long as it did and was able to defy the odds and reach #1. Still quite the accomplishment.

I’m very surprised that “Never Wanted Nothing More” managed to finish higher (albeit by 1 spot) than “Don’t Blink”. The latter seems like one of his career-defining songs to me (maybe it’s just me lol).
