This right here was the #1 country song in 2008.

[ame=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCx6NnGYHh0]James Otto's "Just Got Started Lovin' You"[/ame]

God bless you and James always!!!

Holly

P.S. The furthest that James got with any other song was #26 with his song named "A Groovy Little Summer Song" two years later.

"Satisfaction" -- The Rolling Stones

"Born to Run" -- Bruce Springstein

CrusaderFrank, I don't believe that Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones and Paul Revere and the Raiders and Bruce Springsteen qualify as "one hit wonders".

OK, maybe Paul Revere and the Raiders are really close to qualifying. I'll give you that one.
