Sad to see One Little Kiss leaving so early! I love that song, but the Dallas Smith version, which was released as a radio single in Canada, is the one in my playlist. The intro melody is very infectious.

The only 2013/2014 hit that was worthy of those really cool pizzicato strings in the intro... That instrumentation was unfortunately wasted on "Beachin'". You know, I’ve never been able to get over how much she looks like Rita Wilson in this music video, lol ![](https://i.imgur.com/X0NEIle.png) ![](https://i.imgur.com/hkHlOYi.png) ![](https://media.giphy.com/media/aKawouRtdFhmBYrxIW/giphy.gif)

Yay PR! “1972” was decent but nothing I’d go out of my way to listen to.

I don't know how many of y'all are here, so like yesterday's reveals, I'm just gonna finish this up with a slight bit of lightning speed! I'll only give commentary when I like the song, and this is one of those cases. I LOVED the melody of "1972"! Everything about this song was great imo. Saddened to see it just miss out on the Top 5. </3

“Life of the Party” has no business in this top 5 lol
My top 2 remains. Love both but one is clearly the far superior song and I think it will win this with ease.

"Ghost Town" and "Days of Gold" are jams but "What We Ain't Got" is the reason I did this RD. It's an absolutely gorgeous song and video, I haven't heard it for quite some time now and revisiting it and the video for this RD had me in tears. I absolutely bawled listening to it for this and had it on repeat for quite some time afterward The lyrics not only kill me but the song is so beautiful, so much emotion in the vocal too! This is the best Jake Owen has ever sounded IMO. The "I wanted the world til my whole world stopped" part is gut-wrenching, I can't listen to that without losing it every time. Definitely a song I can't listen to unless I want to cry lol but I love it so much. Thanks for hosting kamala 2024 truther!! I'm very happy with how this turned out. My top 3 were in the top 5!

“Life of the Party” has no business in this top 5 lol My top 2 remains. Love both but one is clearly the far superior song and I think it will win this with ease.And that it did! Finishing ten points ahead of the runner-up "Ghost Town" and scoring #1 rankings from exactly half of us, "What We Ain't Got" takes the crown and wins the rankdown. This song is beautifully written. I love how it starts off with a relatable verse about things we're jealous of others who are more well-off for having, and then relates that to wanting your significant other back...and then the music video shows us people going through hardships that force us to count our blessings and be thankful for what we do have. Incredible song and video all around. "Ghost Town" was also great, but for me it didn't touch "What We Ain't Got." There you have it y'all! That's a wrap on the Jake Owen Album Series for now! We still have his Extras to get to, and then I'm debating whether to do his album tracks or not. In any case, I'm gonna pause this again and launch the Extras sometime in early 2022.

Yay, fantastic winner! I've aways considered "What We Ain't Got" to be a tad on the underrated side, so I am pleased to see it be a pretty ruthless competitor here ![:love:](http://i.imgur.com/2smy76v.gif) "Ghost Town" was a very solid runner-up as well, and based on my ranking you can definitely tell that I am okay with it being our #2!!! Jake is probably never going to be a go-to albums artist for me, but there are definitely a small handful of standouts on every album, and this album series did a pretty good job of showing them off. Count me in for the Extras and the album tracks!

Jake Owen: It’s Extras Time!Howdy y’all! After WAY too long of a break, during which I focused on other rankdowns and getting my life sorted together over the course of 2022, it is finally time to revive this series for one last time! We’ve gone through all six of Jake Owen’s studio albums, and now it’s time to go through all of the songs of his that were released but not part of any album. There’s only 20 songs here, so it should be rather easy to get through! The playlist (approx. 1 hour 5 mins):1. Life in a Northern Town (Live) - Sugarland ft. Jake & Little Big Town 2. Mele Kalikama 3. Summer Jam (ft. Florida Georgia Line) 4. Pass a Beer 5. Steal My Kisses 6. Surefire Feeling 7. Real Life 8. Subliminal Love 9. Long As You’re In It 10. What Child Is This? 11. Something to Ride To 12. Christmas Spirits (ft. Parmalee) 13. Best Thing Since Backroads 14. Drunk On A Boat 15. Jonesin’ (with Ronnie Dunn) 16. Country Stuff (with Walker Hayes) 17. Fishin’ On A River 18. 11 Beers (with The Reklaws) 19. Up There Down Here 20. 1x1 Apple Music Playlist
Spotify playlist: Due: Friday, September 23, 2022

Hmmm... it seems a bit odd to include several songs that will probably make his next album once it finally materializes, but I guess it's not coming for awhile yet so idk how to feel, lol.

At the rate country radio is going, that might be another several years yet ![:dead:](http://ruadventures.com/forum/Smileys/animated/smiley_resurrect_grave.gif) I guess I could get rid of those songs and make the list much shorter as a result…maybe some lists would start coming in

Maybe by october next year, lol 🤷♂️ sending my list this morning!

Hi. So I definitely let this one go by the wayside. I’ve only got two lists, and haven’t even started mine. That’s mostly because I never gave out any reminders as I was so wrapped up in the hubbub of the moving process. However, part of me also happens to wonder if there’s really any interest in this rankdown. How are we all feeling? Should I give this a new deadline, or is there really not all that much interest? I can’t really do a proper rankdown with just three lists, lol.

I personally feel like we should hold off on this since he likely has a new album coming in the near future, which would probably cut several of these songs from the current list anyway.

That’s what I was thinking, and after some consideration, I’ve decided I’ll just hold on on this rankdown for the time being. My apologies to the two of you who had sent their lists in!

Yeah I would be up for doing this eventually, but I am fine to wait and see what this list looks like after his new album comes out!
