Christmas Countdown USA Top 30
This year, Country Countdown USA host Lon Helton counted down the Top 30 most-heard Christmas songs on country radio. He used the same source he uses every week for CCUSA: Mediabase & Country Aircheck. This list counted all plays of all Christmas songs (regardless of release date) from the past year. The list included heritage songs by Nat King Cole, Gene Autry, Burl Ives, Bobby Helms, and Brenda Lee. It also included current country stars, such as Lady A, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Alan Jackson, Faith Hill, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, and Garth Brooks.
The special edition also includes holiday stories and songs from CCUSA co-hosts Keith Urban, Tim McGraw, Thomas Rhett, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney, Blake Shelton, Brett Eldredge, Dierks Bentley, Garth Brooks, Taylor Swift, and Dolly Parton.
