The Definitive Ranking Of All The Songs On "Nashville"

Juliette Barnes is killing it out there.

82. Jonathan Jackson, "How You Learn To Live Alone"

youtube.com / ABC

I'm sorry, but lines like these will ruin any song: "You fall asleep in motion and uncharted hemispheres / Then you wake up with the stars falling down around your ears." WUT?

81. Hayden Panettiere, "Dreams"

ABC / Via giphy.com

Sorry, Juliette, but not every song can be a hit.

80. Chaley Rose, "Wayfaring Stranger"

youtube.com / ABC

YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS CRYBABY MUSIC, AVERY BARKLEY.

Is this even a song or just Rayna crying?

77. Clare Bowen and Jonathan Jackson, "Moon Is High"

ABC

Blah blah blahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

76. Connie Britton, "Buried Under"

youtube.com / ABC

I liked seeing Rayna drinking, but this song... not doing her any favors.

75. Hayden Panettiere, "Used"

youtube.com / ABC

The fact that this happens to Juliette Barnes makes me feel better about my life: "You come walkin' round here, actin' like we're something / Then you up and disappear and make it real clear that we're nothing."

74. Aubrey Peeples, "Tell Me"

youtube.com / ABC

Layla Grant at her most annoying.

73. Hayden Panettiere, "We Are Water"

ABC / Via giphy.com

I don't believe you, Juliette Barnes: "I've got no regrets / I've got no shame."

72. Jonathan Jackson, "Twist of Barbwire"

The only not good song these two have made together.

70. Hayden Panettiere, "Telescope"

If only the song was as good as the sentiment.

68. Connie Britton, "Bitter Memory"

youtube.com / ABC

I identify too strongly with this song.

67. Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen, "Lately"

youtube.com / ABC

Eventually, these two will get back together, right?

66. Charles Esten, "Back Home"

ABC / Via nashvilleabc.tumblr.com

A cliché country song — "Fireflies dancing in the yard / Under a blanket of stars" — even by Deacon Claybourne standards.

65. Clare Bowen, "Every Time I Fall In Love"

youtube.com / ABC

Me too, Scarlett. Me too.

64. Connie Britton and Will Chase, "Ball and Chain"

youtube.com / ABC

I do not trust Luke Wheeler and I do not approve of him getting so close to Rayna.

63. Sam Palladio, "That's What I Do"

Bob D'Amico / ABC

Couldn't even find a video for this one and THAT'S OK. This picture is even better.

62. Audrey Peeples, "Gonna Get Even"

youtube.com / ABC

What's weird about this song is that Layla still HAS NO IDEA why she'll want to get even in the first place.

61. Lennon and Maisy Stella, "Telescope"

youtube.com / ABC

Most age-inappropriate line for pre-teens to be singing at a school function: "You left your troubles in my head, in my head / You left your secrets in my bed, in my bed."

60. Chris Carmack, "Tears So Strong"

youtube.com / ABC

This song sounds familiar the first time you hear it and not in a good way.

I bet you could get it right with me, Gunnar. Just throwing that out there.

I don't know what this song is about, but Avery sure is handsome singing it.

57. Clare Bowen and Charles Esten, "This Town"

Worst PR moment for the city of Nashville: "We all come here with a light in our eyes / Some will burn out / Some will burn bright / Some learn to fly / Some will run for their lives."

56. Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere, "Wrong Song"

youtube.com / ABC

Not the best song, but worth it just to get these two together.

youtube.com / ABC

This song is fine, but I just know Deacon has so much more in him.

51. Connie Britton, "Stronger Than Me"

youtube.com

Hard to tell if she is into this dude or just got kinda shwastey-faced.

Most commitment-phobic moment: "You don't need to meet my momma / You don't need a key to my house."

48. Connie Britton and Lennon and Maisy Stella, "The Blues Have Blown Away"

youtube.com / ABC

If this song had cheeks, I'd be pinching them.

If you only knew Avery from his music, you'd think women were breaking his heart instead of the other way around.

43. Hayden Panettiere, "For Your Glory"

youtube.com / ABC

Every legit country singer has a Jesus song and this is Juliette's.

42. Sam Palladio, "Gun For A Mouth"

youtube.com / Huy Phạm Văn

Besides the whole greasy hair thing, I liked Gunnar in his bad boy phase.

41. Sam Palladio, "Shine"

You can like literally hear Gunnar's heart shattering all over the honky tonk floor.

Truth bomb: "It's all talk, talk, talk, talkin' in the wind / It only slows you down if you start listenin'."

39. Will Chase, Charles Esten, and Chris Carmack, "It's On Tonight"

Nashville's foray into Bro Country: Not bad. Not bad at all.

(Couldn't find the song on YouTube, so just enjoy this picture of a topless Chris Carmack with a puppy from his Abercrombie modeling days.)

38. Lennon and Maisy Stella, "Ho Hey"

youtube.com / ABC

Hardest to believe Rayna-would-allow-it line: "Took a bus to Chinatown / I'd be standing on Canal and Bowery."

There is no limit to the amount of weepy love songs these two can do together.

30. Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio, and Chaley Rose, "Hennessee"

youtube.com / ABC

I think this song is about crushing on a tall girl: "The hardest thing I ever had to do was stand up straight and try to love you."

The song that launched Avery's short, failed solo career.

Question: If Juliette's love life ever stabilizes, will she keep making all this AWESOME MUSIC?!

How this duet wasn't enough to bring Juliette back into Nashville's good graces is beyond me.
