The top country song for July 2014 is hardly a summer song, but it's much too hot to rank any lower than No. 1. This love ballad is as sincere as they come; a song every man and woman can relate to on some level. Strong sales helped this guy knock last month's No. 1 (Beachin' by Jake Owen) down a peg.

Songs by Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Eric Church and Dierks Bentley also scored high on the July 2014 Top 40 songs list. Kenny Chesney snagged the best debut. 'American Kids' checks in at No. 10, just behind Lady Antebellum's new hit single. Joe Nichols is the month's surprise star. 'Yeah' is an unassuming country smash that's caught fire in the last 30 days.
