As the year comes to a close, I always like to reflect on the year in music. This is a best of the best list, this is the 'cream that rose to the top'. Will names like Strait or Chesney make it on this list? I'm not wasting anymore time, let's count down the top 10 songs of 2012. It's hard to believe that Eric Church has been around since his debut Album 'Sinners Like Me' in 2006. So why haven't we seen more of Church at the top of our lists? Because he's had very few songs reach the top twenty let alone the top ten, but in the last twelve months he's changed things, because Eric has been living in the to ten. Now Eric Church deserves to be in amongst 'Best of the Best.' and at #3 spot in our Top 10 of 2012.

'Springsteen' the song was released in February 2012 as the eleventh single of Eric Church's career, and the third from his third studio album titled 'Chief.' Some in Music City have called Eric an over night success, but nothing can be further from the truth. Eric has worked his butt off to hone his trade, he sings, writes and entertains. He is the total package and I believe the music industry is now beginning to appreciate Church.

Rolling Stone, SPIN, iTunes, and the Los Angeles Times have all showered Eric Church with coveted end-of-the-year ‘top album’ accolades Plus the release of 'CHIEF' earned Eric an RIAA Gold Certified Album in only six weeks, helping to launch fan-favorite party anthem and third single release “Drink In My Hand,” to No. 1 on the country radio charts. Furthermore, positioned at the apex of life-long achievements for Church, he experienced the exhilaration of his first-ever GRAMMY nomination with CHIEF for Best Country Album and ACM nominations for Album of the Year and Video of the Year for “Homeboy.”
