I've been teasing it for awhile now, and here it is! The JMM singles rankdown. 36 singles spanning his 15 year career!
A very doable amount of songs! JMM knew when to hang up his hat and even ended his run with a top thirty hit in "Forever", so we're not looking at over 50-60+ songs here. Setting the due date for 7 weeks from now, Saturday July 17th.
I also want to ask for people to not flood the first page with UNTAG PLZ!11 bulls**t. It's my pet peeve and I've never been rude enough to do it to ANY host of a rankdown I was uninterested in. Heaven forbid you get 4-6 notifications that you can just look over. I know he has a lot of haters for some reason, but let people enjoy things without bringing the whole mood down. I copy and paste the same taglist for all my rankdowns, so if you're untagged on this one, you're untagged on all of them.
I don't do spotify so I'm hoping one of the experts can make me a playlist with all the singles that I will edit into the post and give credit to the legend that can do it for me.

I'm actually pretty excited for this one, despite how Pulse kinds shits on him! I really enjoy all of his biggest, most overplayed hits. Especially the cheesy ballads!  Like, most people seem to never want to hear "I Swear", "I Love The Way You Love Me", and "I Can Love You Like That" ever again, but they are easily three of the best county love songs of all time... I don't know hardly any of the non-overplayed songs though, so I'm eager to check them out! |

I rarely skip country RDs, but this might be one of them. I've always struggled to find hardly any songs by him that I like.  We shall see. |

If you just by chance happen to like the voice of someone named Nathan Applegate...well, I'd just say they sound a wee bit similar (but I of course have to give the edge to John Michael  ). |

They most certainly do not sound a wee bit similar! What an insult to JMM!!! |

SENT MINE!
HIS UPPER 10 SONGS OR SO ARE GREAT, BUT HIS QUALITY REALLY DROPS QUICK FOR ME. NEVER REACHING ROCK BOTTOM BUT I COULD DO WITHOUT A LOT OF HIS SINGLES.

Still working on this.
I'm not familiar with many of the songs in the list, so I have to take some time, but hopefully I can submit it soon.

(I hope someone will want to do these so we can get to a new page! 🤓) Here you go again, using me like I'm your own personal bitch! 1. What song will be #1? Probably something like "Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident)" or "Life's A Dance". 2. What else will join it in the top 5? In addition to S(TGCAI), LAD, I think we'll have "Letters From Home", "The Little Girl", and maaaaaaaaybe one of the polarizing huge hit power ballads, like "I Swear"??! 3. What song will be #36 (last place)? Hmmmm... As obvious as the bottom-tier contenders are, there isn't really one specific obvious last place contender imo. Maybe "Mad Cowboy Disease"? 4. What else will join it in the bottom 5? It could be any number of things, but I predict "Country Thang", "Nothing Catches Jesus By Surprise", "Four Wheel Drive", and "Goes Good With Beer" will be in or close to this region... 5. What song will be most polarizing? Least? Most: Definitely one of the overplayed power ballads. Maybe "I Love The Way You Love Me"? Least: "Mad Cowboy Disease". 6. Which #1 song (I love The Way You Love Me, I Swear, Be My Baby Tonight, If You've Got Love, I Can Love You Like That, Sold, The Little Girl) will be out first? This is hard, as they all deserve the top 10!!!!! Maybe "If You've Got Love", just because it's the most forgotten of the bunch? 6. Any other thoughts/comments/discoveries that you liked? I thoroughly enjoyed this, so hopefully people aren't negative little whiners for this entire rankdown!!! "Home To You" was probably my favorite rediscovery. Everything else in my top 10 I pretty much knew, but that one I can't recall ever specifically hearing it, yet it felt SO familiar!!!!!! It must have come on the radio when I was in kindergarten or something and stayed with me, lmao. |
