It’s always interesting investigating earlier years in country music for these features. They’re easier to assemble than you may think, mostly because the best songs of the year were also the biggest hits (which is sadly an extinct concept today). Culturally, 1968 was a year that shattered American history. It was a year filled with… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 1968
This is a re-uploaded post. This feature of the “best hit songs” has been something I’ve been promising to do for quite a few months now. Back in April, Kyle of Kyle’s Korner Blog requested me to take a look at this particular year. For those who don’t know, I’ve usually based these lists off of whatever Billboard… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 1987
1975 was a strange year for Country music. It was the year that Tammy Wynette and George Jones divorced each other. It was the year that Hank Williams Jr. tumbled 500 feet down Ajax Mountain which caused severe facial and head injuries. It was the year that Charlie Rich burned the envelope to the ground… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 1975

The cheesy songs (and… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 1992
In a change of events, I actually received a particular request for which year to look back on for this week’s “best hit songs” feature. Robert of Robert’s Country Opinion Blog chose to request 1972. Looking back, all I can say is that 1972 was a quiet year for Country music. Now, that’s not to… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 1972
No, I haven’t forgotten about this feature. Truth be told, I decided to scale it back a bit. Doing one of these every week is fun, sure, but it also gets to a point where I’m just saturating you all with cheap lists, and that’s not the point of this. The point of this is… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 2010
(Last edition’s list of the best hits of 2007 can be found here) Let’s hop in the time machine folks, because we’re going back to 2005 … I’ve got a few online friends who would say that 2005 was one of the best years for modern Country music, and looking back, I can’t say I… Read More The Best Hit Songs Of 2005
