I’d replace Stapleton with Church given Stapleton didn’t break out til 2015 and Chief was released in 2011.

My Top 3 would be Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, and Carrie Underwood, in that order as well.

The title of the thread is Who Should Have Been Artist of the Decade. That means Jason Aldean, who was selected should not be a choice. Telling me I'm not staff will not further your agenda.

Probably Luke Bryan, but Aldean seems like the next logical choice.

Maybe some people agree Aldean should have won and they would vote for him in the poll.

at Chris Stapleton's name even being thought of as a name that should be included on this list... Also, Carrie Underwood was the ONLY choice that would have been acceptable. The only other options would be rewarding geriatric has-beens or else the bros who have made a mockery of the genre and steered it towards every horrible trend of the past decade. Unfortunately they decided to go with the latter... (This decade had pretty slim pickings in the superstar department, both qualitatively and quantitatively... So I am not too terribly surprised to be less than enthused with the final choice...)

You know I love you, and I absolutely adore Carrie, but I don’t see what makes her the only correct choice other than the fact that she’s the only female artist who consistently broke through at radio this decade. Sure I don’t always love the bros, but there’s a few of them on this list who had a bigger decade than Carrie in more ways than one and that’s what this award should recognize imo.

Sure I don’t always love the bros, but there’s a few of them on this list who had a bigger decade than Carrie in more ways than one and that’s what this award should recognize imo. I mean, if we're being completely honest, the only reason they had a bigger decade than Carrie is because they are males... But also, the reason I say she is the ONLY correct choice is because I have a flair for the dramatic, and tend to over-embellish when I am talking about things that I am mildly irked by but in the grand scheme of things don't affect my life very much Compare Jason, Luke, and Blake to superstars from past decades, and it becomes glaringly obvious how woefully mediocre they are, on average. Sure, they each have some truly incredible songs (some more than others), but a large portion of their output from the past decade has been the uninspired stereotype-laden anthems that people who hate country music have started to make fun of country music for. I mean, obviously they are all deserving of the title of "Artist of the Decade", but it will never not sting a little to see Jason Aldean's name right after George Strait's on that list, regardless of how "qualified" he is... It is 100% just a reminder of how far the bar has fallen in the past decade of country music. (It's nice to be talking to you, btw! You should post more!! )
