His video has hardly been out a week, but already Blake Shelton's 'Boys 'Round Here' clip is at the top of the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown. That's not surprising, give the song's success and the fact that it co-stars wife Miranda Lambert and her Pistol Annies gang. But Shelton's new video is not No. 1.
This weekly Top 10 video countdown has been a getaway for country superstars like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift, but this week four country newcomers are giving the more well-known stars a run for No. 1 with hot new country music videos. Kip Moore, Brett Eldredge, Tate Stevens and the Henningsens all enter the ToC countdown.

Songs that are amongst the biggest of Lee Brice and Lady Antebellum's careers make a return to the ToC Top 10 Video Countdown this week -- in a big way. 'I Drive Your Truck' was a chart-topper for Brice, while Lady A's 'Downtown' sits at the top of the charts just this week. However, neither of these videos were No. 1 on this list, as decided explicitly by country music fans.
Tate Stevens, winner of the most recent season of 'X Factor,' makes a strong debut on the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown this week. Fans pushed his debut single 'Power of a Love Song' to No. 6. It's a strong statement for the newcomer, but he'll need even more support if he's to blow by Top 10 staples by Carrie Underwood, Casey James and Toby Keith.
Here's a strange fact about the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown: Only videos from blonde singers have reached the No. 1 spot. Toby Keith kept the streak alive last week, as fans chose 'Hope on the Rocks' as the most popular clip of the week. Casey James and Carrie Underwood were close behind with their recent videos, but new offerings from the Band Perry and 'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens could challenge them for the title.
Two country family trios found their way back into the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown this week! The Band Perry's 'Better Dig Two' video and the Henningsens' fan-favorite 'American Beautiful' both waltzed back in, giving Jason Aldean and Kip Moore's latest clips the boot.
Women continue to rule the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown. For a third straight week, a video for a song sung by a female topped the weekly countdown. It was Carrie Underwood's 'Two Black Cadillacs' last week, and prior to that, 'American Beautiful' by the Henningsens. Can new clips by Jason Aldean, Blake Shelton or Eric Church best the country superstar? It's up to fans to decide the weekly Top 10.
Two new videos make their Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown debut this week. '1994,' the new clip from Jason Aldean, and 'Hey Pretty Girl,' the latest from Kip Moore, both find a home amongst the most popular country music videos. They knocked superstars like Kenny Chesney from contention early, but did either get enough support to top last week's No. 1 video?
For just the second time since the Taste of Country Top 10 Video Countdown began, a new video sits at No. 1. Carrie Underwood's 'Two Black Cadillacs' and the Henningsens' 'American Beautiful' fought a very close battle for the top spot; it was the most contested video Top 10 of all time, with the narrowest margin of victory.
Superstars like Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood ruled the ToC Top 10 Video Countdown last week, but neither artist -- or any of the other seven -- were able to displace the singer with the No. 1 video. Taylor Swift enjoyed back-to-back wins, but can she make it three in a row? Vote for your favorite videos in the readers poll below.
