Hopefully we can get some responses for a year so recent. I know that it takes a bit of time to think about these threads but I would love to see some of other people's favorites. :)
There's a couple that could have been included on both 2010 and 2011, just because they spent pretty much an equal amount of time in both years ("From A Table Away", "Family Man", "What Do You Want", etc.). Some I did include and some I saved for 2011. If a song didn't make it into February of 2011 though I did not count it.

Apologies for the newbie question, but is there a site that lists all of the singles that had their chart run in a given year? Or are you guys just going by memory?

If you go to wikipedia and type in "2010 in country music", it gives you all the top 20 singles from that year. Also you can go to countryaircheck.com and just click on archives. Then you can access any chart week from 2010. :)

2010 was the year i truly "got into" country, it was honestly the worst summer of my life but once fall came i truly began my journey. I would come home from school pull out a cd of my moms and put it in and would listen to it. I went from everything from Keith Urban's "Get Closer" to Jamey Johnson's "The Guitar Song". But i digress, a lot of favs from 2010 no order:
Dierks Bentley- Up On The Ridge, Draw Me A Map(my fav song of 2010) Gary Allan- Get Off On The Pain Lady Antebellum- Hello World James Wesley- Jackson Hole, Real Miranda Lambert- The House That Built Me Luke Bryan- Someone Else Calling You Baby George Strait- The Breath You Take(why does everyone hate this one?) Kenny Chesney- Somewhere With You Tim Mcgraw Still(mighta been 2009)

Least Favorites:4. Whistlin' Dixie - Randy Houser 8. Undo It - Carrie Underwood Both these songs came out in 2010? These are two of my least favorist songs of ALL TIME. Blood runs from my ears when I hear them. I heard Whistlin' Dixie on the radio a few weeks back, and I was like "WTF? They're playing this insted of one of his GOOD songs??" I'll have to think of my favorites and come back...

Roll With It - Easton Corbin (absolutely love this song) Consider Me Gone - Reba McEntire (One of my favorite female country songs ever) The Truth - Jason Aldean (great song by one of my favorite artists) Highway 20 Ride - Zac Brown Band (one of my favorite songs ever, any genre of music. Amazing vocals and a great point of view in this song) Water - Brad Paisley (probably my favorite Brad song, just so dang creative on this one) Our Kind of Love - Lady A (Great driving song) My Kinda Party - Jason Aldean (great song for college parties, I was in Undergrad then) Eight Second Ride - Jake Owen (huge Jake fan obviously) Draw Me A Map - Dierks Bentley (have no clue why this wasn't a big hit)
I'm sure there are way more I can't think of right now, but these are just pure gold IMO.

The Truth & The House That Built Me are far and away my two favorite songs of 2010.
Like:
Only Prittier Pray For You Lover, Lover Undo It (guilty pleasure) Soliders And Jesus Temporary Home American Honey Love Like Crazy Voices My Kinda Party (another guilty pleasure lol)
Meh:
Cowboy Casanova Our Kind Of Love A Little More Country Than That Till Summer Comes Around Songs I liked in 201 that have since burned on me:
Little White Church If I Die Young Need You Now
Hate Stuck Like Glue/Mine (My two least favorite Country songs of the decade, honestly) I'm In Water (Cannot stand this song; I never understood the praise for it) Felt Good On My Lips (I find this worse than LFTG and Truck Yeah, personally)

I probably overlooked some, but here goes. I tried to exclude any songs that were more 2009 or 2011, but apologies if any slipped in.
TOP 10 FAVORITES 1. The Band Perry - If I Die Young 2. Miranda Lambert - The House That Built Me (for my money, both this and "If I Die Were Young" were the last two truly great songs that I've heard that managed to become big hits) 3. Jamey Johnson - Playing the Part (The Guitar Song is such an incredible album, but something this dark/offbeat is probably ill-suited to country radio) 4. Miranda Lambert - Only Prettier 5. Eric Church - Hell on the Heart (catchy as all hell) 6. Zac Brown Band - As She's Walking Away (RIP Alan Jackson's radio career) 7. Zac Brown Band - Highway 20 Ride (this is the song about the divorced dad thinking about his son, right? I only heard it once or twice, but I remember really liking it. ZBB has been on my "artists I should listen to more" list forever.) 8. Sunny Sweeney - From a Table Away 9. Gary Allan - Get Off on the Pain (the singles from Get Off the Pain, and that album in general, aren't Gary Allan's best, but a lesser Gary Allan album is still well above-average) 10. Dierks Bentley - Draw Me a Map
OTHER TOP FAVORITES (ordered alphabetically) Billy Currington - Pretty Good at Drinkin' Beer Brad Paisley - American Saturday Night Chris Young - Voices Craig Morgan - This Ain't Nothin' Dierks Bentley - Up on the Ridge Easton Corbin - A Little More Country Than That Eric Church - Smoke a Little Smoke Gary Allan - Kiss Me When I'm Down Jason Aldean - My Kinda Party (guilty pleasure... this is probably the only "bro country" song I like) Jason Aldean - The Truth Joe Nichols - The Shape I'm In Keith Urban - I'm In (although I prefer Radney Foster's original) Kenny Chesney - The Boys of Fall Laura Bell Bundy - Giddy On Up (another guilty pleasure) Lee Brice - Love Like Crazy Little Big Town - Little White Church Matt Kennon - The Call Sugarland - Stuck Like Glue Tim McGraw - Felt Good on My Lips Trace Adkins - This Ain't No Love Song
BOTTOM Carrie Underwood - Undo It

Damn, there were some kick-ass songs released in 2010. I'll make a list later but wow, I didn't realize how good a year 2010 was until I read these lists.

I always enjoy doing these if nothing more so I can go back and listen to some of my favorite (or least favorite) songs...in this case 2010. I also started making a habit out of making playlists for myself based on the list of songs that everyone comes up with. One common thing I noticed for myself at least is that although I enjoy Keith Urban's music, he is the one main artist who has songs that I just have to go back and listen to again to remind myself of. If anything I'm more of a fan of and respect his artistic ability rather than his music, but otherwise I have never found myself drawn to his singles much. Anyways, just a random thing I've noticed when I come around to doing these favorite year threads. On to my list...
Best of: 1. "If I Die Young," Band Perry 2. "Highway 20 Ride," Zac Brown Band 3. "As She's Walking Away," Zac Brown Band w/ Alan Jackson 4. "Draw Me A Map," Dierks Bentley 5. "From A Table Away," Sunny Sweeney
Standouts: "Free," Zac Brown Band "Mama's Song" and "Temporary Home" by Carrie Underwood "The House That Built Me," Miranda Lambert (overplayed, but I was on board with this song before it was even the big hit it became...still enjoy it) "Up On the Ridge," Dierks Bentley "Still," Tim McGraw "This Ain't Nothin'," Craig Morgan "Voices," Chris Young
The Good: "American Honey," Lady A "American Saturday Night," Brad Paisley "Bullets In The Gun," Toby Keith "Consider Me Gone," Reba "Fearless," Taylor Swift "Gimmie That Girl," Joe Nichols "Hell On The Heart," Eric Church "Little Miss," Sugarland "Little More Country Than That," Easton Corbin "Mine," Taylor Swift "Roll With It," Easton Corbin "She Won't Be Lonely Long," Clay Walker "Somewhere With You," Kenny Chesney "The Man I Want To Be," Chris Young "The Breath You Take," George Strait (I get why it's hit or miss with people...but there's so much emotion behind the song for me it always stops me in my tracks and I have to listen) "Water," Brad Paisley "Who Are You When I'm Not Looking," Blake Shelton
Overplayed and Overhyped: "All About Tonight," Blake Shelton "Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not," Thompson Square "Boys of Fall," Kenny Chesney "Hello World," Lady A "Our Kind of Love," Lady A (skip this one every time) "Rain Is A Good Thing," Luke Bryan "Smile," Uncle Kracker
The Bad: "Farmer's Daughter," Rodney Atkins (skip, skip, skip) "Hillbilly Bone," Blake Shelton feat. Trace Adkins "Undo It," Carrie Underwood (just no...) "Stuck Like Glue," Sugarland "Trailerhood," Toby Keith "Turn On The Radio," Reba (one of my least favorite Reba singles to ever hear on the radio) "Unstoppable," Rascal Flatts "Why Wait," Rascal Flatts

After scrolling through these lists, it is amazing to see how many good songs, memorable songs can come out of one given year. I may make out my list a bit later but I have to say that one BIG standout for me was The Band Perry - "If I Die Young."
