Miranda Lambert made a huge comeback in August 2016. Her song “Vice” took over radio seemingly overnight — but did she do enough to have the top country song of August 2016?
This month also features Top 40 debuts from Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney. The “Noise” singer is now the “Setting the World on Fire” singer, as his duet with pop star Pink dropped. Neither of these men make the Top 10, however — there you’ll find country vets like Blake Shelton and Carrie Underwood, as well as newcomers like Jon Pardi and Kelsea Ballerini.
