Thompson Square

It took a late surge of votes on Taste of Country Nights radio to give Thompson Square a third straight Showdown win on Monday. The duo's new song 'If I Didn't Have You' squeaked by Kelly Clarkson's new single 'Don't Rush,' but the path to the Hall of Fame won't be any easier on Tuesday.

After a mini-holiday, the Showdown returns today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio, with reigning champion Thompson Square well-rested to take a high-powered challenger. Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill's duet of 'Don't Rush' is up against 'If I Didn't Have You,' the latest from the husband-wife duo.

For the second straight year, the country music industry tossed their razors and shaving cream in the garbage in an effort to help the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. No Shave November raised almost $30,000 in 2011. This year, country stars like Casey James and Thompson Square's Keifer Thompson are helping the industry surpass $100,000. So, which artist has the best face fur?

Country duo Thompson Square needed every vote to get past Craig Campbell on the Showdown yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio. A strong push at the end proved to be the difference for their new single 'If I Didn't Have You.' Today, the ballad will face off against 'Somebody's Heartbreak' by Hunter Hayes. It's a match-up of reigning ACM and CMA New Artists of the Year.  Read Mo

Love and Theft's new song 'Runnin' Out of Air' runs off to the sunset today after earning retirement yesterday and last night on Taste of Country Nights radio. The poppy single squeezed by George Strait's new song for a fifth straight win. Two new songs square off today.
