Top country singles of the year so far
Mar. 18th, 2011 08:35 amYep, already working on the 2011 list! There've been quite a few good candidates already this year. In no particular order:
"You Lie," The Band Perry
"Mean," Taylor Swift (Yes, it's an earworm. But in a good way.)
"Somewhere Else," Toby Keith
"Love Don't Run," Steve Holy
"I Won't Let Go," Rascal Flatts (link is to a TV performance)

My top 20 country singles of 2010
Jan. 6th, 2011 12:58 pmSimilar criteria to last year: songs that were released (wide release) as singles to radio in 2010, one song per artist, nothing purist about it, etc., etc. This year I'm actually going to link to the videos -- except when I hate the videos -- and provide a little commentary.
It was HARD to pick just 20 this year; I did a lot of chopping and changing right up to the last second. (The one-song-per-artist rule was especially hard, but I stuck to it anyway, as I like to have as many different artists as possible.) So I'm going to provide a few runner-ups too. They may not have made the cut, but they're too good not to mention!
( Here we go . . . )
