Top 40 Country Songs – September 2012
The No. 1 song on the Taste of County Top 40 for September 2012 is one that was recently named the song of the summer by readers. It's been one of the top sellers in the genre since it was released as a single last spring, and it finally topped out at No. 1 on the Billboard charts. There was no question which song was worthy this month. The rest of the group were fighting for No. 2.
Artists like Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, Taylor Swift and Tim McGraw gave a good effort for the penultimate spot on the Top 40 Country Songs of September 2012 list, but it was a young country newcomer who earned the position in the end. With the majority of big name artists waiting for the Christmas shopping season to release new albums, hot new singles are being unleashed almost daily. Look for singles from Darius Rucker, Jason Aldean and Big and Rich on this list. All three are the first listens of music from their upcoming projects.
