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.
