The Showdown: Chris Young vs. Big & Rich

There's a new Showdown champ this week, as Chris Young knocks Kip Moore from the top spot after several days of very intense voting. He'll face a challenge from Big & Rich today and over the weekend.

Young's new single is "Think of You," a powerful ballad with Cassadee Pope that lets both singers show off the dynamic range of their voices. It's the latest single from his I'm Comin' Over album, and is already impacting in a big way with his fans.

Big & Rich are back at country radio with "Lovin' Lately," which features a guest appearance from Tim McGraw. The song brings their signature harmonies back to the airwaves — but can they get past Young and Pope's fired-up voting block?

Listen to clips of both Young and Big & Rich's  songs and vote for your favorite here. You can vote once every hour until this Showdown ends on Monday at 8AM ET, so come back and vote often to be sure your artist wins. The winner of this matchup will face a new challenger on Monday.

Showdown Rules: The song with the most votes wins, and the winner goes on to face a new challenger in the next Showdown. Vote as much as once per hour online. If a song wins five Showdowns in a row, it will be retired into the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame to allow for new songs to compete. Some songs will be considered for a second Showdown if voter turnout is healthy in a losing effort.
