Someone mentioned Martina’s “Wrong Baby Wrong” as a favorite of theirs for this year. I can side with that one, too. It’s one where Martina is aiming for something more than the “I’m Little But I’m Loud” vocal melisma that has kept me from really liking her.

I liked Little White Church too and it should have gone straight to the top, IMO!

I also forgot to add “Stuck Like Glue” to my list of the best ones. Yes, it’s not country in any way, but I really do feel happy listening to it. It’s probably my biggest guilty pleasure song of the year.

- “As She’s Walking Away,” Zac Brown Band

I’m stilled irked that “Little White Church” didn’t go any further than #6 on Billboard’s country chart. If it had been up to me, it would’ve been a #1 hit for 5+ weeks – I was addicted to that song in the summer.

This being said, I think there’s been quite a few great singles released to country radio this year, an improvement over 2009. However, there are still the dark spots all over the country radio. Let’s hope that these will clear out in 2011.
