Hello everyone and welcome to the very first "TICM Chart". The TICM Chart is a very simple to understand. Each month, Markus and I will rank the top 60 songs inside the Billboard Country Airplay Chart from best to worst. This will give you an insight into what songs we like at the moment (and which ones we don't...). For a song to be on the chart, it has to currently be charting within the Billboard Country Airplay Chart. If you have any questions as to why we ranked a certain song or another, or perhaps just want to make a chart of your own, just reply in the comment section! Without further ado, here is our individual charts for the month of January.
