2022 Country Rankdown (Revealing!)

[Darkest Hour]

Ok Chase Rice is mostly quite cringe and his dramas make him an unlikeable person.

This song isn't that good but not bad enough to be bottom 10 though.

Also think the album is decent

why is Chase Rice still in this, and Luke's "Up" needs to go as well. Also both Jason Aldean and Morgan Wallen have already overstayed.

Well you can't complain about manifesting a perfect ranking! Not too shabby!

Chase Rice is just such a continuously worthless artist. I challenge one person to tell me one unique thing that he contributes to the country industry. On top of his worthlessness, he's the sort of asshole who will use COVID to promote his new music, and also be the literal embodiment of the bro who is always described in bro country songs... I find this to be one of his more tolerable songs, but good riddance nonetheless.

[Darkest Hour]

Also where's castle's rank for the Chase Rice song?

I literally spent 10 seconds editing the post since I meant to give him a bold for his perfect rank, and that was all the time you needed to notice his name missing in a list of like 35 people

Don’t the audience just love rushing to call out rankdown errors? I’m convinced ProBoards secretly gives them prizes for doing it. #BigYouForgotToAssignHomeworkEnergy

I mean it is easily noticeable when you suddenly saw two members name appear on the same line due to missing ranks. Maybe I should have kept it to myself...

Country doesn’t look good on him cause I don’t even remember how the song goes.

Lol I didn't notice that his name somehow got added next to Taylor's even though I had told it to delete... Gotta love BBCode It's all fixed now!

[bboat11]

"Country'd Look Good On You" is just annoying to me. I suppose maybe Frank Ray has a decent voice, but I'd need to hear it in another context before I can say for sure, 'cause I'm pretty sure I'd be annoyed by this song regardless of who sang it...

[Darkest Hour]

This is the definition of radio payola. Literally did nothing outside of airplay.

[LBTrocks]

Frank Ray is such a letdown tbh. He could be giving us such fire latin-influenced country, instead we get... this. "Country'd Look Good On You" is a terrible song. The only good tune he has is "Streetlights"

[Darkest Hour]

Both Dan + Shay songs overstayed, and I remember Pulse is lukewarm towards the album?

[SHOOTER]

If you’re gonna be a Hispanic country singer, you have got to come with material that is better than the 100 faceless White men you're competing against. 😑

[HeyHeyHey]

The lyrics “hey fireman” in “Country On” always make me chuckle. Makes it sound like a children’s song - but somehow made worse by the fact that it is not a children’s song.

Extremely poor effort from Luke Bryan, someone who I actually like more than some people on here/other country music spaces do.

Flatland Cavalry should've had a mainstream breakthrough for a while. Suck they are put in Americana and TX country only.

[LBTrocks]

"Country Roads" is a solid country-rocker. I like Elvie Shane tho, so maybe I'm a bit biased lol.

[Darkest Hour]

How is County Roads bottom 10 worthy? Isn't it just a cheaper version of Heart On Fire?

[SHOOTER]

They really named that baby Elvie…

I definitely should have quoted the relevant post. Most of the band members, including the lead singer Cleto Cordero, is hispanic.

Alao, thanks. Can't close a country rankdown without your list!

[bboat11]

Elvie Shane is just so not impressive to me so far. "My Boy" was an emotional song, which is about all it had going for it (and this genre is so full of emotional songs, that one is basically about as "basic" as an emotional song can be....). And now his followup was actively terrible! "County Roads" is basically a Kip Moore song with a vocal that's not even half as good! I'm ready for him to be a one-hit wonder.

[LBTrocks]

"Fill Them Boots" was unlistenable. A good example of modern country at its worst

[SHOOTER]

😂😂😂

This one’s so catchy tho. I regret nothing.

[bboat11]

My biggest problem with "Fill Them Boots" is the delivery of the title. The rest of the chorus could potentially grow on me, but the little twang in his voice on the repeated "I can fill them boots, I can fill them boots, I can fill them boots if you want me to" part is just sooooo grating to my ears. Also, where did that little twang randomly come from? Chris Lane hasn't struck me as being too concerned with maintaining a country image throughout his career.

Also, he has accomplished in 10 years about what George Strait or Alan Jackson accomplished in any given ONE year of their careers, so keep up the great work!

[HeyHeyHey]

This one would’ve slid on over to #1 in 2014. Chris Lane was a little late with this one.

[Darkest Hour]

Still pleasantly surprised it is not higher in the charts, and his career feels dead right now.
