[sabre14]

[someguy]

This is one of my favourite years of country music. I so miss when it was like this. I'm definitely looking at revisiting these songs :)

[bboat11]

Damn, every time one of these rankdowns opens I am blown away by how many incredible songs I see in the list!

That being said, the end of January might be a little ambitious. January is always oversaturated with all the 2020 year-end rankdowns, and I know several of the regular participants like to participate in the modern year-end rankdowns for other genres as well. People like .indulgecountry and fearlessarrow could very well be doing all or most of 2020 country, 2020 Hot 100, 2020 pop, 2020 urban, 2020 rock, etc. all within the next couple of months. So I would not be surprised if people end up wanting an extension for this one (I know it came first, so should have priority, but the modern year-end ones realistically are going to take priority based on timeliness and quantity, lol)

It'll be pushed to February, but I'm always asked to extend these rankdowns, regardless of what time of year lol. Looking at you LBTrocks.

[Kanenrá:ke]

Sonya Isaacs!! ❤️❤️❤️

Very good list. Kinda already predicting a last place but I want to look at the list better first haha

[someguy]

What do say, to a rankdown like this?

Haha

[Cody Wants Out...]

If only I could put half of this list in my top ten or so...

[ClevelandRox]

I see about twenty songs I want in my top five. 😭

edit: I also see the songs from the Where the Heart Is soundtrack.

I keep scrolling the list looking for some that were probably 2001. 😭 Tim Rushlow She Misses Him, Nickel Creek When You Come Back Down, Darryl Worley Second Wind.

Those were all 2001. :)

[ChicaCherry콜라]

I'll do this one! Solid year for country and one of my favourites :)

Edit: I just choked reading The Warren Brothers lol. I forgot those little shits existed on charts and not just in my heart haha. Hands down my favourite country duo.

[Deleted]

I'd participate in these Country rankdowns if there weren't so many dang songs. I'll only put that kind of work into the Year-End rankdowns for the Hot 100 (and some other special occasions like the ranking of Every #1 Hit of the 2010s).

[taylor]

Now this one I refuse to let pass me by. Come hell or high water I'm sending you a list for this one.

(PS. 2000...the year I made my big entrance into this world!!!  )

[austin]

Definitely doing this one. I see a SHeSMASH in the list.

[sabre14]

I will be out of town the end of February, so the deadline has been pushed back to March 14th.  :)

Thanks for the extension! I actually just started working on this earlier today and made an Apple playlist for us non-Spotify users lol. Here is the link:

Apple Music Playlist - 2000 Country Rankdown

Not included are "Stuck in Love" by The Judds, "The Fun of Your Love" by Jennifer Day, and "Breathless" by River Road. I happen to have Garth's catalog loaded myself, however, both "Do What You Gotta Do" and "When You Come Back to Me Again" will not be available to y'all.

[zaclord 🌈]

It will be fun to see what comes in at #2 behind "Born to Fly"!

Hopefully “I Will...But” to shadow its #2 peak in 2000.

[Cody Wants Out...]

Good news guys! I can do rankdowns on my big kahuna now (i.e. my all-in-one desktop)! My potential resurfacing may occur sooner than you think!

[razorshark]

Can you tag me in results. I won't have time for 125 songs but I have nostalgia for so many of these.

[sabre14]

New deadline is April 6th and it will be the final extension.

I'm like 80 songs in, so you'll hopefully have mine by the end of the week!

[castleoblivion26]

I'm at about 70 songs in so I'm working my way through it as well!

[🌺CountryLineDancer]

Thanks for the extension.
Now I'm in for this!

[Cody Wants Out...]

Ooh! I'm already aiming to get this finished by this weekend and it just might happen!

[sabre14]

Unfortunately, my work schedule in April is so hectic, I won’t have time to focus on this...so a new (hopefully, final) deadline of May 10th has been implemented.
