Jason Aldean vs. Tim McGraw – Hottest Country Star of 2013, Round 1

Jason Aldean and Tim McGraw are similar in many ways. Both artists can lean rock or pull back to deliver a heart-stopping, emotional love song. In 2013, these two men have accounted for four hit songs -- including two Gold and one Platinum single -- and dozens of sold-out concerts. The stronger fanbase will truly decide who has had the more impressive year. 

The winner of this Round 1 matchup will face either Luke Bryan or Gary Allan after the voting ends on Nov. 3, 2013 at 11:59PM ET. Aldean has wrapped up the year with the release of a live DVD called 'Night Train to Georgia,' while McGraw and wife Faith Hill are finishing with shows in Las Vegas. True superstars never rest, as these men prove.
