10. "19 You + Me" - Dan + Shay
Promising lead single; really catchy, larger-than-life chorus. Very descriptive lyrics and good for blasting it on the radio while you're going to the beach with your friends.
9. "Automatic" - Miranda Lambert
Came in during a male, bro-country domination on the
Country Charts; very refreshing and melancholic without sounding depressing.
8. "Rewind" - Rascal
Flatts
Some of the best lyrics of the year can be found
in this song, which served as the outstanding comeback from Rascal Flatts. It’s
a love song that approaches the subject in a different, unique way. Best Rascal
Flatts single in years.
7. "Drunk On A Plane" - Dierks Bentley
Clever lyrics and
unique storyline. Managed to write a song about drinking without recurring to clichéd
lyrics
6. "Closer To Nowhere" - Kellie Pickler
After two killer singles, Kellie really topped herself
with this amazing mid-tempo. As always, she sounds amazing in this and managed
to sing a romantic song without sounding corny. It’s like the female, better
version of Jason Aldean’s Night Train.
5. "Me Without You" - Jennifer Nettles
Lovely ballad beautifully sung by Ms. Nettles about
the emancipation of a woman from her lover. The metaphors are just top-notch
and it’s such a shame this didn’t do better, though it deserves a lot of awards
for the quality.
4. "I Hold On" - Dierks Bentley
Great song about the
things that seem small to others but it means the world to us. Great delivery by Mr. Bentley; he showed us a little more of his personal side with this
amazing song.
3. "Looking Back Now" - Maggie Rose
A crime that this song didn’t reach a higher peak on
radio. Interesting story and amazingly delivered by Ms. Rose.
2. "Cop Car" - Keith Urban
Hands down best
single released from “Fuse” so far. Managed to create vivid images with words;
great story about falling in love with a girl after they got arrested for trespassing.
It sounds sweet and actually romantic given the circumstances.
1. "Keep It To Yourself " - Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves can do no wrong, and this song is not
the exception. Though it’s toned-down compared to the subjects of her past
singles, singing about a girl rejecting an ex’s booty call is pretty innovative
in the Country genre. Again, Musgraves can do no wrong.
