Sam Hunt’s “Body Like a Back Road“ has owned the Country Singles chart this year, so WhiskeyRiff.com thought it might be interesting to see what songs were dominant on the year you were born.  For some reason, they only went back to 1980.  Here are some highlights:

 

2006:  “Jesus Take the Wheel”, Carrie Underwood
