I feel like many people pegged Luke Bryan to be a likely person to leave sooner rather than later in this rankdown, but truthfully (aside from early on) he wasn't much of a bottom 5 contender until the final few lists rolled in.
He's got a handful of good songs from this decade, and "Roller Coaster" is one of them! Shame that "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye" couldn't be in this rd. I can't for the life of me remember how it performed in its year, but I know it wasn't top 20... ('cause I've also made a list of all the songs that finished in the 11-20 range in case we want to do a sequel, lmao). But still, as a vocalist and artist, Luke is far from the most compelling member of this list, even with one of his better songs...

This Luke Bryan song isn"t bad at all, so I'm glad it's not #100 despite his notorious reputation here.

I don't think there were any terrible songs on this rankdown to be honest. Some songs just aren't as compelling as the other ones.

Up next at #97, the song that was about to finish in last place until Flops rescued it at the very end.....and also ranked it high enough to send it up 3 entire positions?!

As you can see, "What We Ain't Got" ended up being a rather consistent bottom 2 contender for this rd, even occupying last place for much of the back half.
This is such a beautiful song, and by far one of my favorite things Jake Owen has ever done!!! That being said, I can kinda understand it not being very flashy in a list of this overall strength. I had to put it in my top 50 though, no regerts!

What We Ain't Got is a nice discovery and not what I was expecting at all. I guess Travis Meadows really helped this one.
Discoveries mean nothing in these best-of rankdowns with more well-known songs though.

I really only don't care for my bottom 4 and of course none of them have been eliminated yet lol. That said I really don't dislike anything outside of my #100... "Tequila" going first makes sense. I love this song but I just cannot enjoy it like I used to because of how much I cannot enjoy D&S anymore. Everything they release sounds the same and it is ruining even the songs I like from them. Did not expect to see "Say You Do" be out so early but honestly not upset by it. I love this song but it is one that tends to get forgotten so in a list this strong it never stood a chance of going far. I do wish it had made it higher than some other songs but meh Luke Bryan is like D&S for me, even when I like a song from him I struggle to really enjoy it because of how much I've grown to just be tired of his sound, it all sounds similar to me. Jake Owen's "What We Ain't Got" being out this soon is just wrong, even in a list this strong. What a song and performance. Yes it is slow but it shouldn't be out already. Thank you LBTrocks for your taste saving it from last place where it definitely did not belong!!!

bboat11 says "Kiss Tomorrow Goodbye", I say "Someone Else Calling You Baby" (although I do like them both well enough). Already a pretty bumpy ride so far; I liked "Tequila" at the time, but it burned on me pretty bad. "Say You Do" was the best Dierks song on this list imo; very gutted to see it out already, but I do realize it's not a strong recurrent (as far as I know) so I can see it being easily overlooked amongst some of the bigger hits. I honestly hoped "Roller Coaster" would miss the bottom ten, but it must've been too much to ask for. With that being said, an inoffensive song can easily get passed over similar to how "Say You Do" and other songs have. "What We Ain't Got" is a heart-tugger, but was a pretty risky choice for radio. Stunned to see it be the most consistent last place contender, though. I can't help but wonder if we'll lose a #1 somewhere in the bottom ten. Either I kicked the hornet's nest with that comment, or someone really is losing a #1 soon...

I can't believe that immaculate Jake Owen song was almost dead last, lmao. Glad Flops saved it from that fate because I would've been scratching my head at that one. "Tequila" makes sense tho given how so many have soured on D+S, and the overplay for that song is so excessive.

William Michael Morgan made the better George Strait song in this list. The new "neo-traditionalist" artists wish they made a song this fun.

Our first #1 loss was not only in the bottom 10 as Cody Wants Out... predicted it might be.....it was actually in our bottom 5 Which is not good news for kw9461 ! He is at least not the only one feeling the pain, as he was joined with a top 2 from gonecountry and a #9 from LBTrocks . Unfortunately "Missing" was not in a spot where that top 10 rank from him did anything to boost it from its fate, unlike "What We Ain't Got". Although it did finish more than 100 points higher than our previous song, so that's definitely something that Flops helped contribute!!! I felt like "Missing" was a little out of place in a best-of-the-decade list, if only because WMM is probably the most forgotten artist to make this list. I love this song though! I believe I sent it to #1 on my personal chart back in 2016. William's sound was very reminiscent of '90s acts, and in fact this sounded like it could have been taken directly from George Strait's repertoire, which is about as high of a compliment as you can give a newer male country artist! I love that vibe and love this song. Unfortunately, that's not what radio wanted in the middle of the last decade in the tail end of the bro country era, however, so this ended up flopping on the charts. That being said, I could see it needing a few listens to grow on someone who is not necessarily as big of a fan of that sound as I am, so in a list with this wide of a variety of tastes, and against so many well-known classics. I'm not at all surprised to see this one struggle. Still, bottom 5??!!

Tequila isn't too bad, but I feel like it's overrated, and I'm certain that 2018 has better songs than that.
On the other hand, "Roller Coaster" is a solid song, so pretty disappointed about its early exit.

"Missing" is a beautiful country song that should have become a hit. Great to see some high rankings, but bottom 5 is an absolute travesty.

The fact that "Tequila" almost won the year it was in... thank god for Dierks/Brothers Osborne.
"Tequila" was my obvious #100, I didn't even have to think because I really like my top 99. I still kind of like "Tequila" but it didn't even compare even to my #99, but that's how these best-of-best type rankdowns go. Everything outside of "Say You Do" I ranked pretty low but I still really enjoy "What We Ain't Got", "Missing", and even "Roller Coaster".
