For the 5th year in a row, a panel of more than 215 nightclubs and dance instructors from the U.S. were surveyed to find out the top 10 requested and played country club dance songs of 2008. Marco Club Connection announced the results of those findings yesterday…

#1 – Alan Jackson “Good Time” – Jackson’s G-O, O-D, T-I, M-E was the runaway favorite for 2008, garnering up to three spins a night during the peak of the song’s popularity in the summer last year.

#2 – The Zac Brown Band “Chicken Fried” – Interest in this song grew from its initial support in the Southern clubs and spread nationwide within weeks of its release.

#3 – Kid Rock “All Summer Long” – This mash-up of Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London” and Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Sweet Home Alabama” was an instant success on country dance floors.
