I am a music countdown fanatic! Every weekend for the past 15 years, I have tuned in to Bob Kingsley's Country Top 40 to hear the latest shuffling of the songs on the chart. This is one awesome show--my weekly 4-hour direct connection to the wide, wonderful world of country music! A link to the program's webpage is here.

And for the past 10 years, I’ve posted my 20 favorite current country music singles of the week on my website: Scott’s Country Top 20. Now, as we near the end of the 2000-2009 decade, I’m presenting my Top 60 country hits of the past 10 years, and I’ll be revealing one new song each day, culminating in the #1 song of the decade on January 1, 2010. Click on the titles to hear my introduction and commentary on each song to make the survey. This countdown is intended to celebrate my love for country music over the past 10 years, and to do so in the style of my favorite radio host of all time, Bob Kingsley.
