This inaugural list of country singers who won the year starts with fan responses to that very question.

A lot of heavy hitters -- and a couple of surprise successes -- dominated the country radio airwaves in 2022.

This annual list of snubs and surprises shines a bright light on a favored sound.

Their success has also given them clarity.

"I think when we heard it, my first thought was, 'That's a country song. That's a Parmalee song right there ...'"

Yikes!

Growing up in eastern North Carolina, the four men of Parmalee learned to mix good music and good eating from a very young age. The stove was always hot, or the grill was always burning when family would gather. And the live music rarely stopped.

2015 Country Jam is officially rolling — after a strong Day 1, it's safe to say this country party is rockin'. With acts like Sasha McVeigh, Parmalee, the Band Perry and more on Thursday (June 18), there were many memorable, hilarious, talent-filled and musically astounding moments. But there were a handful that will be etched in the minds of fans for years to come.

Carrie Underwood returned to the stage for the first time since the birth of her son at the CMT Music Awards Wednesday night (June 10), but her most entertaining performance took place offstage.

Parmalee say their motto is "Keep on plugging!" On Thursday night in Rootstown, Ohio they had to keep plugging when a power outage kept them from plugging in. Fans with cell phones lit the stage and then helped the country quartet get through their new song "Already Callin' You Mine."

The 2015 Country Jam lineup got bigger and even more impressive.

The men of Parmalee are stoked to be out on the road with country superstar Brad Paisley, something they couldn't keep quiet about when chatting with Sam Alex -- host of Taste of Country Nights -- recently.
