The Hawk Top 70

2015 was an interesting year for country music. The 'Bro Country' sound received quite a bit of backlash from critics and fans alike, Garth Brooks was just about ignored by country radio but his concerts set records for selling out in a matter of minutes. Entertainer of the Year, Luke Bryan continued to have a big year. So did Sam Hunt, Thomas Rhett and Eric Church.

A number of country "newcomers" made some very good first impressions out of the gate with some big country hits, including Kelsea Ballerini, Maddie & Tae, Old Dominion, Canaan Smith, Michael Ray and Brothers Osborne.

So what are the top hits of 2015? In case you missed the countdown shows over the past few weeks, here is the list of Top 70 country songs of 2015, courtesy of Country Countdown USA, a show you can always catch Sunday nights 7-10pm on 98.1 The Hawk.
