I'd be okay with that! Although I do think he has enough singles for us to still do a quick singles rankdown as well, lol.

I concur. I'd vote for just a regular album series as well.

I've enjoyed "Five More Minutes" and "This Is It" so I'm willing to see if there's anything else from him I'll love. I'll probably do this, but will wait until a due date is set.

I’ve liked my fair share of songs from Scotty...but enough to pique my interest in an album series? I’m not sure I can say that so I’ll respectfully pass for now. Once he’s built up more of a discography I’d think something like this is more warranted. Scotty is really only at the beginning stages for a series like this in my opinion.

I mean, we've already ranked Lauren Alaina's albums, and he has more than she does. Same thing with Maren Morris, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Carly Pearce, Brett Young, Maddie & Tae, Easton Corbin, Brothers Osborne, etc. You're choosing NOW to be a long-careers-only purist?

Yea good point. I guess I’ve just never been a huge fan of stringing two albums together into a rankdown or even jumping into an artist rankdown when they maybe just released a single for their next era. I didn’t mean to come across so hasty though! Just that aside from his latest material I’ve never had the desire to dive into his albums, but I’ll keep an open mind and give this one a spin.

I agree that I don't enjoy merging multiple albums into one rankdown and kinda hope that we stay away from that practice going forward. It does look however that HeyHeyHey is going to do each album individually, which is the same way that I've done the Brothers Osborne, Carly Pearce, and Brett Young albums and I plan to do the remaining Kip Moore albums (I regret doing his first two albums as one rankdown and won't do that again).

Working on this I'm reminded just how bad his first two singles are. I used to think "I Love You This Big" was worse but the hooks in "The Trouble With Girls" are just soooo bad.
I will say as much as I didn't like him at the start his last album was good and his new single is as well so he's definitely improving.
Let's see if there's any gems from this album, I just remember hating most of it.

Sorry I kinda slacked a little with the reminders but we got 7 people and I didn’t expect this to have as many people. Reveals start tomorrow - shouldn’t take long since there is isn’t a lot of songs on the album or rankers. 1. HeyHeyHey2. Kanenrá:ke3. .indulgecountry4. tim5. castleoblivion266. ClevelandRox7. bboat11What do you think will be #1? What do you think will be #12? What do you think the highest single will be (“I Love You This Big”, “The Trouble With Girls”, or “Water Tower Town”)? What do you think the highest album track will be? Any other thoughts on Scotty and/or the album?

What do you think will be #1? The title track seems like a likely contender to me!
What do you think will be #12? The Trouble With Girls. It doesn't seem like single bias is going to be as prevalent on this album, based on the way people talk about it.
What do you think the highest single will be (“I Love You This Big”, “The Trouble With Girls”, or “Water Tower Town”)? "Water Tower Town" should be highest, and will probably make a run for the top 2 or 3 based on single bias.
What do you think the highest album track will be? TITLE TRACK! Only option!!
Any other thoughts on Scotty and/or the album? This is quite possibly the most average album I have ever heard. I didn't outright hate anything, or love anything... Aside from the title track, I was pretty much left with no impression whatsoever other than "his voice shows a lot of potential." Excited to check out the next couple eras though, as his output has definitely improved even if he still frequently falls short of his potential!

#12. "The Trouble With Girls"tim - 5 .indulgecountry - 5 HeyHeyHey - 6 bboat11 - 12 ClevelandRox - 12 Kanenrá:ke - 12 castleoblivion26 - 12 TOTAL: 64 In last place is the second single of Scotty's career. "The Trouble With Girls" peaked at #17 on country radio. Four out of our seven participants ranked this at #12 which really hurt this one. Typically in album rankdowns singles seem to do decently well but clearly that is not the case for this single. Good on bboat11 for predicting correctly that this would be in last place. I think this is a pretty average song. I liked it a lot when it was new but I haven't revisited it a whole lot in the past decade.

#11. "Write My Number On Your Hand"Kanenrá:ke - 6 .indulgecountry - 7 castleoblivion26 - 8 ClevelandRox - 8 bboat11 - 10 HeyHeyHey - 11 tim - 12 TOTAL: 62 At #11 is "Write My Number On Your Hand". tim ranked this in last while nobody ranked this in their top 5. This song just feels very high school to me. To be fair to Scotty, I am pretty sure he was still in high school when this album came out but still...it just isn't one I am going to revisit much (if at all).

#9. "You Make That Look Good"HeyHeyHey - 2 ClevelandRox - 4 .indulgecountry - 6 bboat11 - 6 Kanenrá:ke - 9 tim - 10 castleoblivion26 -11 TOTAL: 48 At #9 is a song that I really, really enjoy! "You Make That Look Good" is super catchy and fun in my opinion. Even though it received a top 3 ranking from me it did receive two bottom three rankings from castleoblivion26 and tim. This song actually tied with the song that lands at #8 but it loses the tie because someone gave the other song a #1 ranking....

#8. "I Love You This Big"HeyHeyHey - 1 tim - 2 bboat11 - 7 .indulgecountry - 8 ClevelandRox - 9 castleoblivion26 - 10 Kanenrá:ke - 11 TOTAL: 48 The debut single from Scotty McCreery lands at #8 on our list. "I Love You This Big" was first performed at the American Idol season finale back in 2011 and actually debuted on the Hot Country Songs chart at #32. At the time it was (and might still be to this day) the highest debut on country radio for a solo artist's first single. This made it all the way to #15 on country radio and to #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. I LOVE this song. I know that the lyrics are kinda cheesy but this song really takes me back to 2011. I really enjoyed Scotty and that entire season of American Idol and this song always brings me back to being 14 years old. My extended family had been doing an American Idol bet at the time where we would all pick one woman and one man to win the whole thing and that season I picked Scotty and I won $100 which made his win even better! It was the only season either of my picks even made the finale so I was hyped. In terms of our rankdown, two rankers had this in their bottom three while one other has it in their top three. I will do one more reveal tonight and do the second half tomorrow evening.
