About.com's Top 500 Country Music Songs

This list has been painstakingly compiled from many sources on the ‘net (including Billboard charts, album charts, and various surveys and polls), with a good dose of common sense thrown in. It is in no way meant to represent exact chart positions or total sales, and is not necessarily a reflection of song popularity. Any omissions are purely unintentional.
