The hit -- arguably the greatest of all time -- also found a new home on country radio, especially on stations that had focused mostly on new up and comers. The newbies still dominate this list, with the top spots going to three of the biggest stars of the last decade.

New songs from Miranda Lambert, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Hunter Hayes and Blake Shelton (twice) all find themselves inside the Top 20, but none of these cuts are No. 1. That honor goes to one of the more unique and surprising singles in quite some time.

Aldean comes closest, with ‘Take a Little Ride’ making a Top 5 debut this month.
