SINGLE RECORD OF THE YEAR

Congrats Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally, Zach Crowell, and Josh Osborne!

Single of the Year went to Body Like a Backroad, which has been EVERYWHERE. This Sam Hunt single has seen tons of airplay on not only country radio, but pop radio as well. The impact was massive.

It was up against some other amazing songs: Better Man by Little Big Town, Broken Halos by Chris Stapleton, Drinkin’ Problem by Midland, and I’ll Name the Dogs by Blake Shelton.

Fun fact: Songwriter Shane McAnally was nominated FIVE TIMES this year. Sounds like a #poweryear for him!
