Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton dominated the charts in 2011, with them spending a combined 26 wks at the top of the CML Chart. Which one comes out in at #1 on the year end countdown?

Also, many newcomers made a big showing this year with the Eli Young Band, The Band Perry, and Thompson Square all having big hits.

I hope you all have enjoyed the CML charts every week, and I look forward to what the 2012 has in store for country music.

As always, the CML Chart combines radioplay, album sales, along with popularity (video countdowns, frequency in the news, etc.) and internet downloads.

Check out this week’s CML chart…
