Cody Johnson - Take Me Back (Leave Me There) [COJO Nation Edition]

Two posts, both small. Cody Johnson's new uploads this week were a pair of short reflections, one asking who else is "still learning to be human," the other musing on how a song can bring back memories you didn't know you'd forgotten. The second one got the warmer reception: its comments keep returning to the harmony, and one viewer names it their favorite from the album.

The real momentum sits a little further back. "Take Me Back (Leave Me There) [COJO Nation Edition]" is a fan version of the song, and a companion post from the same week thanks viewers for sharing more than 17,000 moments with the team, which is what this edition is built from. At seventeen days old it is still drawing more viewers each day than anything else on the channel, by a wide margin.

The song's description leans on a busy run of honors, including ACM Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year at the 2026 ACM Awards, on top of Leather's 2024 CMA Album of the Year win. That helps explain a channel just shy of a million subscribers, sitting in the middle of a country group that runs from Luke Combs and Blake Shelton down to Bryan Martin. One commenter under the newest clip is already counting down to a show in Glasgow next month.
