Top 20 Singles Of 2011
2011 has been one heck of a year for country music. We’ve seen singles from all different sides of the spectrum: from songs that make you want to get up and dance, to songs that make you want to cry. Country has always been very good at dealing with real-life issues. It’s the story songs that make country music the genre it is. It has a way of moving you, either to get up and party, or to remember what’s really going on in the world.
It was hard to narrow down the highlight songs of the year into one package, but Ted Efron and myself sat down to do just that. There might be some surprises on our list, but these are the songs that defined a genre for 2011. Take a look at our list below and let us know if you agree, disagree, or think we forgot someone we shouldn’t have. Not all of these songs are singles, some are just the best album tracks that should have been singles this year.

Reba Will “Never Forget” Plane Crash 20 Years Ago
Reba McEntire’s St. Louis concert will be pretty personal to the country music legend. It’s close to the 20th anniversary of the tragic plane crash that killed her touring band, with several of those musicians from the area. Terry Jackson, Kirk Cappello and Tony Saputo were among the crew and band members who were lost in the accident. In an interview with St Louis Today, Reba admits she remembers them every time she steps on-stage and realizes that every day could be your last.
“Every time I get on stage, I do reflect about that. It’s something you never forget. There’s always that feeling on stage that they’re there with me, and I miss my guys and girls so much. We miss all of them. It pulls at your heartstrings, and my heart still goes out to their families. During this 20th anniversary, we have to remember how great they were, what they taught us, and that you have to remember each day could be your last.”
Read the full interview HERE, where she also discusses covering Beyonce’s “If I Were A Boy,” the “All The Woman I Am” tour, and how she’s Scotty McCreery and Lauren Alaina’s number one fan.
