Top 40 Country Songs – October 2011
The October 2011 list of the Top 40 Country Songs -- based on chart position, staff reviews and reader input -- showcases a new generation of country superstars. Artists like Lady Antebellum and Jason Aldean make big leaps with their new singles, and the Top 5 songs are from artists that were either looking or struggling to keep record deals just five years ago. Meanwhile, the old guard -- Toby Keith and George Strait -- has cooled off some on the list.
It's hard to ignore the power of Blake Shelton right now. After appearing on NBC's 'The Voice,' everything he's touched turns to gold. His most recent single, 'God Gave Me You,' is amongst his fastest rising hits, and battles it out for the No. 1 song in country music on the Taste of Country Top 40 in October. Eric Church and the Zac Brown Band also made big leaps. Find your favorite songs on this list, listen to them for free on our October 2011 Spotify playlist -- and as always, let us know if you think we missed a song in the feedback section at the bottom of the page
