The Showdown: Eric Church vs. Parmalee

Eric Church has broken Brad Paisley's winning streak. His latest single, "Like a Wrecking Ball," handily defeated Paisley's "Crushin' It" in the Showdown and now faces a challenge from Parmalee.

Church has thrown fans a curveball with "Like a Wrecking Ball," which is a slow, sexy ballad unlike his other offerings from The Outsiders.

Fresh off the success of singles like "Carolina" and "Close Your Eyes," Parmalee stay true to their established sound with "Already Callin' You Mine," delivering to country radio an uptempo love-at-first-sight song that's a readymade hit. The track is the fourth single from their breakthrough album, Feels Like Carolina.
