Owen stands alone at number one
Owen takes over from Taylor Swift, who held the number one spot with Ours.
"When we started playing Alone with You out on the Keith Urban tour last year," he said, "I realized that it was a song people really connected to. At the very end of the song, when I would sing, 'But you kiss me when you're drunk,' people would literally laugh out loud. And I think it's because they had been there, done that. Guys and girls could relate to it. So, when it came time to choose the follow-up single to Barefoot Blue Jean Night, I just trusted my gut instinct and the overwhelming response from the people at our shows. I am so thankful to so many people right now."
Owen will perform the song tonight on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which airs on NBC at 11:35 p.m. Eastern.

He's never better than on the single and album opener, "Down to the Honkytonk." It's a 'friends in low places' drinking song, where Owen's voice gets ...
Most everyone has made up their mind on bro-country music. Maybe you love the breezy images of the beach dippin' and sippin' lifestyle, or you write it off as empty headed and repetitive. Either way, Florida native Jake Owen was a torchbearer for the genre, and it's rewarded him well - four albums and five Number One singles (remember "Beachin"?). His career has been on a more-or-less upward arc, with higher-profile tours and bigger hits each time out. ...
Jake Owen aims to satisfy all comers (that is, if the current country is your thing), but the individual pieces don't quite add up. The songs may stand up on their own well enough, but when all is said and done, Owen remains an artist without much of an identity or sound. Take, for example, Beachin', one of countless country songs about the good life. Like many of his counterparts these days, there's a spoken, neo hip hop rap part to it. The song is breezy, on the catchy side, but ...
