I think I penciled this in for my year-end Top 10 the second I heard the title...which was one week before I actually heard the song. And, boy, was I right!

So, which song won?!? Here's YOUR Top Ten:

She reigned as America's sweetheart during the 60's and 70's. Mary Tyler Moore, first as co-star of the Dick Van Dyke Show and then as Mary Richards, the darling of CBS Saturday nights from 1970 - 1976. The show had top ratings and won a bushel basket of Emmys.

The show and its spin-off Rhoda were produced by Mary and her husband, Grant Tinker, as part of their MTM Enterprises.

And, I came in contact with MTM Enterprises when they founded MTM Records, in its day a pretty successful music label. Holly Dunn, Judy Rodman and others had hits on the imprint. It is defunct now.

The best songs enable the listener to visualize what he or she is hearing. And one of the most evocative songs I've ever heard is Kacey Musgraves' "Merry-Go'Round," which she also wrote.

Why didn't they think of this sooner? You have Vince Gill, one of the greatest voices of all time, and a guy who will gladly duet with anyone, doing a duet with Kelly Clarkson, one of the greatest voices of all time.

Move over, Jaclyn Graves.  You may refer to Luke Bryan as your "baby daddy" but you clearly are mistaken.  You, my dear, are playing second fiddle to a gal who truly loves her some Luke and will go to just about any length (and really long road trips) to prove it.  We want to introduce you to Shadley Boehman, who has wrestled the title of "Luke Bryan's Biggest Fan" out of Jaclyn's cold and crusty, withered little hands.  Yes.  Shadley is Luke's #1 and she and I recently chatted about her devotion to the man who makes her speakers go "boom, boom!"  LISTEN!

I think I get it. But at the same time, I'm not sure that what I think I get is actually it.

Wait, I'm confused.

Lee Brice was rockin' it in 2012 as he makes his second appearance in this Top 10.

You know, I'm a huge fan and supporter of our military. I am incapable of fully expressing my gratitude for what they do for us.

I have every reason in the world to be completely tired of this song. We played it a lot. And, as far as the music charts are concerned, it's probably the biggest hit of the year. But, you know what? I still turn it up really, really loud when I hear it.

I keep wanting call this kid a kid. See, I did it again. Well, he looks like he's 12. He's actually 21. And he's really, really talented. I'd call Hunter Hayes a prodigy.
