Top 40 Country Songs – December 2014
December 2014 will be a good month for women in country music. A number of the top songs are from female artists, including a duo, a female-fronted group and at least two solo artists. But can any overcome the hottest men to nab the No. 1 song on this list of the Top 40 Country Songs of December 2014?
Yes! For the first time this year, a female artist has the top song in country music. In fact, the Top 2 spots are by women. They're followed by superstar males like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Florida Georgia Line. Jason Aldean makes the highest debut of the month at No. 15, but Garth Brooks' new single 'Mom' isn't far behind at No. 25.
Rascal Flatts, Sam Hunt and Gloriana are three more stars to make a showing this month, but the battle for the top spot is between the biggest hitmakers of the last 10 years and one feisty duo that isn't even old enough to drink. Did your favorite song make the cut?
