Males have once again dominated the country music scene this year, with Luke Bryan leading the way, contributing to four of the top 15 songs on the year end countdown. He lands at #1 with “Play It Again” and also lends a hand to Florida Georgia Line at #2 with “This Is How We Roll”. Rounding out the top five are Jason Aldean’s “Burnin’ It Down”, Dierks Bentley’s “Drunk On A Plane” and Florida Georgia Line’s “Dirt”.
Miranda Lambert represented the females well with two songs on the countdown. Her duet with Carrie Underwood, “Somethin’ Bad”, came in at #7 and “Automatic” landing at #16. Newcomers Sam Hunt and Cole Swindell made their debuts this year, both having their debut singles make the year end chart.
As always, the CML Chart combines radioplay, album sales, popularity, video countdowns and internet downloads and streaming.
