We’re preparing for the 2024 Big BKR Smackdown here at The Country Station, 92.5 WBKR. You can vote for your favorite country songs of the year in our yearly online and on-air event. The Billboard Country Airplay Chart is reached by ThinkMarch Madness. The 64 most well-known country songs from 2024 will be included in a massive tournament bracket. That bracket and those head-to-head outcomes will then be broadcast on Monday, December 30th.
At WBKR, we’ve been ending the year this way for more than ten years, and this tradition is continuing with what looks to be a fierce competition for first place in 2024. Lainey Wilson and Jelly Roll won first place with this last year!

This year, who will take the crown?
On December 30, Dave Spencer and I will present the Big BKR Smackdown, starting at 7 a.m. CST. You will be able to vote in real time for the songs you think are the best of the year. After everything is said and done, your votes will have reduced our bracket of 64 well-known country songs to just one—the winner! 2024’s top country song.
We’re going to put you to the test in what we consider to be our preliminary Big BKR Smackdown round in order to get things started and seed our tournament bracket. The top 64 country songs of 2024 are listed here. These are songs that were played here at WBKR and made it to the country charts this year! This list includes several huge hits. Even though they didn’t have as much chart success, several of the songs still had a following. Tell us which ones you like best, please.
Click here to vote for your top ten! Remember that the songs your favorites will compete in Round One, the Round of 16, the Quarterfinals, the Semifinals, and the Championship Round will be determined by your preliminary votes, which will ultimately create our tournament bracket.
