I'm hoping for "Tell Me"!!!! And I think it actually has potential to win even though "Don't Think I Can't Love You" was a bigger hit.

I'm hoping for "Tell Me"!!!! And I think it actually has potential to win even though "Don't Think I Can't Love You" was a bigger hit. Sadly, that's not what happened. Despite "Tell Me" having slightly more #1 support than DTICLY, the latter had more Top 5 rankings. In fact, the only person to have DTICLY outside their Top 5 is ClevelandRox, who finally loses his last-place song at the very end of the rankdown "Tell Me" is just incredible in my opinion. Everything is catchy and the lyrics are passable. Oh, and Jake is particularly hot in that music video, so for that, the song gets bonus points from me Thanks for following along y'all as I went through this RD with lightning speed! I'm gonna give a couple days' pause to let everyone catch up. We only have one studio album left before we hit the Extras/Album Tracks phase! See y'all then! ;)

I actually quite like “Don’t Think I Can’t Love You” and always have, but it’s NO “Tell Me” and I’m disappointed that TM couldn’t take the win here. It’s a GORGEOUS song with a killer melody and instrumentation! Also, I didn’t pay an ounce of attention to the lyrics to “Whiskey” just didn’t like the song musically at all, so thanks to bboat11 for telling me what the song was about further solidifying my dislike for it. And thanks to kamala 2024 truther of course for hosting!!

This is hands down his worst album and I'm @ the lightning speed with which reveals were done for it, but it's what this record deserves. I LOVED "Tell Me," and I kinda half-liked my #2-5, but everything beyond that was pretty useless. Definitely not an album of his I'd ever be inclined to revisit, whereas all his others that we've ranked so far were at least 50% high quality cuts or more compared to this one which was more like 10% ("Tell Me").

Eight Second Ride is the worst thing Jake Owen has ever released, and I bet it will remain to be the worst even at the end of his career, as I don't think Jake can release something worse than this. Actually.... his 2015 song “Real Life” is the worst song Jake has ever released. Eight Second Ride is far from the best he’s ever done but i don’t quite understand all the hate on here for it. I will say though....why did he or his label feel the need to record it twice? It could have easily been a track on his debut and nothing further. My ranking it #2 has more to do with the fact that this album is BY FAR my least favorite of his, and i’m just not really huge on any of the songs on this album. I remember back when Barefoot Blue Jean Night came how much i felt he redeemed himself from this album on that song alone, cause at that time i was pretty indifferent on Jake. With the BFBJN era, everything completely changed as he tranformed into one of my favorites still to this day. with the exception of Real Life, that song can eff right off.

Yeah, fair point, Real Life is quite bad as well. Stupid lyrics and that terrible verses... Personally speaking, I don't enjoy it at all, but at least, the chorus is has a catchy element and does not annoy me as much. On the other hand, I just cannot stand that chorus melody of Eight Second Ride. Either way, we're talking about the worst parts of his career, and glad his recent materials are much more sophisticated.

I think the answer is actually pretty obvious: they tacked it onto his second album because he wanted to release it as a single, but going 4-deep on his debut album just wasn't feasible since he didn't exactly hit the big leagues right away. Releasing "Don't Think I Can't Love You" to capitalize on lead single hype was smart, and then they threw "Eight Second Ride" on there so that it could be a radio release afterwards. It probably wouldn't have made the top 20 at radio if they hadn't followed that release strategy.

Well I missed participating, not a good album overall but I do love the singles and "Green Bananas" a lot. And I love love the album cover for some reason!

this song is atrocious, and 100% worse than "Eight Second Ride". It is literally about a guy taking advantage of women drinking to get laid. Nothing cool about that and the fact that a song like "Nothing Grows In Shadows" was lower than this. Just an absolute shame

Days of Gold (2013)After a three month hiatus, it's now time for us to move on to Days of Gold, Jake's fourth studio album and the final album left in the series before moving on to his Extras. This album was released on December 3, 2013 to a pretty positive reception from critics, debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and #15 on the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart. The record spawned three singles: the album's title track, "Beachin'," and "What We Ain't Got." The deluxe edition of the album features two of four bonus tracks--"Summer Jam" ft. Florida Georgia Line and "Surefire Feeling"--which we will save for the Extras Rankdown, as these two tracks also appeared on Jake's 2012 EP Endless Summer. Tracklist (runtime: approx. 50 mins):1. Days of Gold 2. Beachin' 3. 1972 4. Ghost Town 5. Life of the Party 6. Good Timing 7. Tall Glass of Something 8. One Little Kiss (Never Killed Nobody) 9. What We Ain't Got 10. Tipsy 11. Drivin' All Night 12. Sure Feels Right 13. After the Music's Stopped14. I Like You A LotApple Music PlaylistSpotify playlist: Due: Monday, September 20

Howdy y'all! I apologize for the borderline abandonment of this rankdown! The deadline was supposed to be this Monday, but how's that gonna be possible when I never did any reminders for this thing I have moved the deadline to Saturday, October 9. That's three weeks from today. I think that should be pretty doable, considering I do have a few lists that have come in. I wanna get this one out of the way in October ASAP so that I can focus on the Shania Twain Album Tracks RD later that month. If you have sent a list, I do have it! I just won't be entering them in here just yet, because I haven't entered them into my data just yet lol. Due: Saturday, October 9

Hey y'all! I've continued to do a poor job with reminders for this rankdown...but here's another one, lol! I still only have six lists, and the problem that arises is that there is no shortage of country rankdowns in October. I could extend this by one more week, but that would be the day before the 2016 year-end redo, and that's a rankdown that deserves an intense amount of attention and requires a bit of space so as to give y'all breathing room. So with that said, I'm gonna do what someguy recently did with Mary Chapin Carpenter and continue to keep the October 9 deadline, technically giving y'all three more days to send in lists, but continue to accept lists beyond that depending on how much extra time y'all will need...a grace period, if you will. Just let me know! Lists Received:1. kamala 2024 truther 2. tim 3. ClevelandRox 4. castleoblivion26 5. bboat11 6. 🌺CountryLineDancer Due: Saturday, October 9

I was working on 2016 this week and let this slip by. I'll try and work on it tomorrow evening. Your list will make 10, and I'm still missing three other regular participants in this series ( SHOOTER , gardyfan , and someguy ). I know someguy has been quite busy so I will definitely continue to wait for his list before closing things out, unless the other two previously mentioned people were wanting to send in a list as well. If all three of them send in a list, we'll match the participant count of the previous album. Lists Received:1. kamala 2024 truther 2. tim 3. ClevelandRox 4. castleoblivion26 5. bboat11 6. 🌺CountryLineDancer 7. bigd79 8. Kris Kringle 9. .indulgecountry Due: ASAP

Hey guys! No results just yet, but they're coming later this week for sure! I just wanted to let you know about a game going on that involves a couple big country names! The fourth season of World War Top 40 is going on right now, and a total of four Tractors are playing! We have Kanenrá:ke as fellow Canadian Shania Twain, bboat11 as another Canadian--Terri Clark, and myself as Faith Hill. We also have .indulgecountry playing as Shakira--not a country artist, but somebody you could throw your votes (that she very much deserves) at if you so choose! The main objective of the game is that artists' songs "attack" each other, gaining points for winning matchups and losing points for losing matchups. Whether an artist wins or loses is obviously determined by us fans voting on the matchups...which is all you have to do! We're currently in Round 4 and us country girls are PROFUSELY bleeding in the water!!! Martina McBride was just eliminated very untimely, and the rest of us need literally all the help we can get! Terri Clark and Faith Hill make up a whopping EIGHT of the round's TWELVE attacks, and are both hanging on the edge of a cliff--if Terri loses all of her matchups she's out, and if Faith loses all of hers, she'll be left with only 3 points. We need you!!!!!! If you wanna vote to help us out, the deadline to do so is basically this Wednesday, and you can do so right down below by clicking on the blue words! World War Top 40
