“Something To Do With My Hands” – Thomas Rhett
Thomas Rhett is picking up steam at country radio with his first single, “Something To Do With My Hands.” This song makes us want to roll down our windows, crank up the music, and sing along at the top of our lungs! Download the single HERE. Fun fact: The Georgia native is is the son of singer/songwriter Rhett Akins….good country music is in his blood!

“Goodbyes Made You Mine” – JT Hodges
We can’t get enough of JT Hodges! His debut single “Hunt You Down” was included on our first list of ’10 Songs You Should Be Listening To Right Now’ in October and now, we’re loving his second release, “Goodbyes Made You Mine.” The song sounds nothing like anything else on country radio and we dig it! Download the tune HERE.

“Ex-Old Man” – Kristen Kelly
We’ve had Kristen Kelly’s debut single “Ex-Old Man” on constant repeat since we first heard it during Country Radio Seminar in Nashville last month. Co-written by Kristen and Paul Overstreet, “Ex-Old Man” tells the true story of a cheating husband and lying best friend. It’s a horrible situation, but it sure makes for a great song! Listen HERE.

“Hot Mess” – Tyler Farr
Tyler Farr’s “Hot Mess” has quickly become a staple on our playlist. This fun, catchy tune was penned by Nashville’s infamous ‘Peach Pickers’- Rhett Akins, Dallas Davidson, and Ben Hayslip. With their track record and Farr’s infectious personality and unique voice, “Hot Mess” is sure to be a hit. Download it HERE.

“Merry Go ‘Round” – Kacey Musgraves
Kacey Musgraves knocked our socks off with a live acoustic performance of “Merry Go Round” at the UMG luncheon in Nashville last month. If you grew up in a small town, this cleverly written song will draw you in the moment you hear the first line. Click HERE to take a listen…we guarantee you’ll be hooked!

“Missin’ You Crazy” – Jon Pardi
“Missin’ You Crazy”, the debut single from Capitol Nashville newcomer Jon Pardi, is a tune that will be stuck in your head from the moment you hear it. We’re digging it and you will too. Check it out HERE.

“Why Ya Wanna” – Jana Kramer
It’s no surprise that Jana Kramer’s “Why Ya Wanna” is breaking records at country radio. The song’s theme is a subject many of us know too well- trying to get over an ex while he/she continues to pull you back in. We didn’t know what to expect from the actress turned country singer and we are pleasantly surprised with her debut. The song is available for download HERE.

“We Got Us” – Canaan Smith
Canann Smith’s “We Got Us” is by far one of our favorites singles to hit radio so far this year. The song is beautifully written, and Smith’s distinctive, pure voice captures us more and more with each listen. What a beautiful and sweet love song! Get it HERE.

“Cowboys and Angels” – Dustin Lynch
Newcomer Dustin Lynch’s “Cowboys and Angels” puts a fresh, yet classic country spin on the story of the relationship between a “bad boy” and a “good girl.” We have to thank our readers for turning us on to this one, it’s a great song! Click HERE to purchase a copy.

“Lovin’ You Is Fun” – Easton Corbin
Easton Corbin is back at country radio with a brand new single, “Lovin’ You Is Fun,” the first release from his forthcoming sophomore record. Corbin made a name for himself with his chart-topping hits “A Little More Country Than That” and “Roll With It.” Does “Lovin’ You Is Fun” have what it takes to be his next No.1? We think so!
