"Country Girl (Shake It For Me)" is the #1 Country Dance Club Hit of 2011!

 Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton topped the list of dance club hits in 2011, according to the Marco Club Connection�s 8th annual ranking of Country dance favorites.

Every December, the Nashville-based company surveys a panel of nearly 250 club owners, DJs and dance instructors from across the country to compile its rankings.  Overall votes by the panel determine each song�s placement on the list. 

�The added emphasis on dance in the music videos for this year�s top club hits was hugely popular with club DJs and choreographers,� says Club Connection Manager of Venue Marketing, Bobbe Morhiser.  �By featuring dancers and dance clubs in the videos, these records leave a lasting connection with fans that dancing and Country music are a natural match.�
