Man this is bullshit. I am pissed "Better Boat" didn't even make Top 70, in a just world it would be Top 50 bare minimum. Such a well written song, that works so well and sounds beautiful to my ears. Man I am stunned at thus result.
Between the acoustic tone, Mindy Smith's haunting backing vocals, and the theme of this song. This song is Kenny Chesney at his best and his latest album is one of my favorite albums he has released and deserves a better reputation then it gets on here. Ugh, this reveal really just ruined my night. Oh well. I'll be fine, just so bothered this didn't do all that well in the rankdown.

"Champagne" is horrible. I love Lindsay Ell but those verses are horrible and this deserved to flop.

Wasn't really a fan of Lindsay Eli's conspicuous consumption...Criminal did better by me.
Better Boat really shouldn't have outlasted Get Along which was the better Chesney song.
Don't think I cared about Kiss Somebody; perhaps my ranking is a tad low?
I really dug Reckless Love; can't put my finger on why exactly though.
What Whiskey Does was just sort of there. A decent song, but it was missing something.
Drunk Me overstayed. He had a horrible first impression with that one song and based on his output, it hasn't improved.
LANCo has done better than Born to Love You. Greatest Love Story might have been in my top 20 last year had I done this.
And no, Old Dominion is better than LANCo. I enjoyed Break Up With Him a tad too much.

Agreed with people saying “Better Boat” deserves better. It got tanked because some people hate Kenny Chesney here and they think it’s boring.

Born to Love You has a pleasant and catchy country pop vibe. What Whiskey Does and Better Boat aren't particularly amazing but they deserve to outlast Kiss Somebody and Champagne...who knows if a different person sings those songs Pulse would change his mind. :sip2: Also Day Drunk will probably have my #100+ rank if it makes to the year-end country rankdown.  |

The fact remains that the song is boring, regardless of what people think of Kenny Chesney I vehemently disagree. I don't find the song boring and I love Kenny Chesney so therefore it isn't "factual" that the song is boring. To some it may be, but one mans trash is another man's treasure. |

HATE that song too lol. The original is bad enough, and Jake Owen's version is even worse. He needs to stop that drunk talking thing.

Ah, "Straight to Hell" deserved better in the rankdown and on the charts. It's not amazing, but it's still decent.

Next one might be a shocker to some of you. I remember lots of people thinking this was one of this artist's best releases in quite a few years!

I'm still wondering how this sold that much on first week (77k). I remember it doesn't have much recurrent airplay either...?

"Straight To Hell" is a JAM! I didn't like it at first because I hated the production/vocal effects, but I got over it, and the song became so catchy to me! It's one of my favorite songs to blast while drunk lmao,
Yeah so "You Make It Easy" sucks and is not one of the 'best songs Jason has released in years' like wtf. This is a poor man's "Blue Ain't Your Color" and that song is AWFUL enough. I HATE the vocal effects on this and the melody is absolutely dreadful. You can tell FGL had a part in writing this.
