One of my favorite songs right now is Eli Young Band's "Always the Love Songs." The video's not bad either. But I had no idea just how popular it was until I found out that it has been consistently beating out videos from Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Rascal Flatts, Kenny Chesney and Brooks & Dunn. That's been happening on CMT Power Picks, where viewers watch and then vote for their favorite of the two videos being pitted against each other. So while this simple, on-the-road video may not have had the production budget of the others, it still rises to the top when the fans get their say. The band's new song, "Radio Waves," was just released, and I wonder if that one will have a repeat performance on CMT if and when they make a video.
