This week we will focus on new songs that have yet to be released on radio. A few of our favorite artists have recently released new tunes, and we will find out which one of them you like best. This week in the Country Shootout we will see Hunter Hayes, Carrie Underwood, Chris Cagle, Joe Nichols, Lee Brice and Mark Chesnutt. Today our first competitors are Joe Nichols and Mark Chesnutt.

Joe Nichols has worked in numerous fields from being a truck driver to a country radio disc jockey. When he finally signed a deal back in 1996 he started his passion. Since then he has made it to the top of the country charts on three different occasions with 'Brokenheartsville','Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off' and 'Gimme That Girl'. Just recently, Joe released a brand new tune and is hoping it will get him to the top of the charts for the fourth time. Here is Joe Nichols with 'Sunny and 75'.

Mark Chesnutt is no stranger to #1 hits, he has 9 of his own. Chesnutt has been quite since the 90's. He has still produced music, but has had a hard time getting back to #1. Well, he is going to give it another shot with his latest release. This song also mentions being somewhere 'Sunny and 75' like Joe Nichols song above. Here is Mark Chesnutt with 'When the Lights go Out'.
