Owen goes "Beachin'" to the top

Thursday, July 10, 2014 – Jake Owen scored the number 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country chart for the week ending July 19 with the summer-themed "Beachin'." Owen took over the number one spot from Miranda Lambert, whose duet with Carrie Underwood, "Somethin' Bad," fell to sixth. Lambert, however, led the albums chart with "Platinum."

Colt Ford debuted in second on the albums chart with "Thanks for Listening." Brantley Gilbert was third with "Just As I Am." Old Crow Medicine Show was fourth in its first week out with "Remedy." Luke Bryan held fifth with "Crash My Party."

The remainder of the top 25 showed little movement with most discs either the same or down one or two slots.

Kenny Chesney jumped from sixth to second on the songs chart with "American Kids" in only its third week out. Dierks Bentley was third with "Drunk on a Plane." Luke Bryan was fourth with "Play It Again." Florida Georgia Line's "This is How We Roll" was fifth in a song featuring Bryan.

Newcomer Sam Hunt stood at 19 with "Leave the Night On," up 5. Little Big Town broke into the top 25 - at 24 - with "Day Drinking."

On the Bluegrass Albums chart, Nickel Creek stayed first once again with "A Dotted Line." Alan Jackson was second with "The Bluegrass Album." Steve Martin and Edie Brickell were third with "Love Has Come For You." They were also fourth with "Live" with the Steep Canyon Rangers aboard. Jonathan Widger, Sarah Moore and Randy Nichols were fifth with "Timeless Treasures: Bluegrass Gospel."

On the overall top 200, Lambert was 7th, Ford 10th, Gilbert 12th, Old Crow 15th and Bryan 20th.

Therefore, the success this project rises or falls with his vocals and song choices. Fortunately, Own has chosen some memorable songs to sing, and his singing voice has never sounded better. 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 ...
CD review - American Love 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. ...
CD review - Days of Gold 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 ...
