Brothers Osborne were just nominated for their tenth Grammy Award this week (11/15) in the Best Country Duo/Group category for “Midnight Rider’s Prayer.” At the 2022 Grammys, they became first-time winners for their performance of “Younger Me” in the Best Country Duo/Group category.

The brother duo from Maryland are also six-time ACM Awards winners and five-time CMA Award winners. The guys put on a rockin’ and fun show with their music that is, at times, compared to that of country icon Charlie Daniels.

As TJ celebrates his 38th birthday today (11/18), we celebrate him and his brother John by counting down what we believe are the duo’s best radio singles to date.

• 7. “I Don’t Remember Me (Before You)” – (2018)

  A melancholy love song sung sweetly by TJ. The brothers co-wrote the song.

• 6. “21 Summer” – (2016)

  The song is a nostalgic song recalling a former love in the summertime. John Osborne said, "It's about looking back on a time in your life, regardless of how a previous relationship went. Whatever went wrong seemed to drift away, and you only remember the glow of it, and the beauty of it, and the importance of it."

• 5. “All Night” – (2020)

  The song's music video features a man depicted sitting at home when he receives a package that features life-sized dancing puppets. This alternates with scenes of the duo performing the song while under a blacklight, as the puppets appear around them with neon skeletons painted on.
• 4. “I’m Not for Everyone” – (2021)

  Another song the guys co-wrote. In an interview about the truthful song, they said, "That IS our mission statement, 'cause we ARE not for everyone. I think at some point, not only in your career but in your life as a human being, you can't make everyone happy. We've pissed a lot of people off by being ourselves. We just have to accept that no matter we are not for everybody, and you have to be okay with that." The song's video features the late actor Leslie Jordan.

• 3. “It Ain’t My Fault” – (2017)

  Share

  John Osborne told Billboard of the song charted Top 15, "We've all been there where we're drunk and stubborn, and we're not willing to admit it. That's really what the song's about. Even the singer knows that it's his fault."

• 2. “Shoot Me Straight” – (2018)

  Share

  T.J. Osborne said that the fun uptempo song was initially conceived as a ballad until John presented a musical riff that the two decided to incorporate. They then finished the song in a beach house in Florida.
• 1. “Stay a Little Longer” – (2015)

  The duo's biggest radio hit made the the top five in Billboard. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance at the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. It was the duo's first of ten Grammy nominations.
