This past year on CMT, country artists have been recognizing the most influential music across all genres that has helped shaped their lives in CMT ALL-TIME TOP 40: ARTIST'S CHOICE. Now, CMT will start at the beginning of the list and count down the selected top 40 artists in a five-hour marathon kicking-off today, December 27 at 9:00 a.m., ET/PT.
CMT's ALL-TIME TOP 40: ARTIST'S CHOICE began its countdown this past March, with weekly segments airing in
CMT HOT 20 COUNTDOWN. A few weeks ago the highly-anticipated No. 1 spot was revealed on HOT 20 as recent
CMT "Artists of a Lifetime" recipient,
Merle Haggard. Each influential musician or band on the list was ranked based on an artist poll conducted by
CMT among the biggest stars in country music. Other notable artists who made the list include
Michael Jackson, The Beatles,
Bruce Springsteen and more. Over 100 country artists participated in
CMT ALL-TIME TOP 40, from
LEGENDS including Haggard,
Dolly Parton and George Strait, to today's superstars like
Luke Bryan,
Miranda Lambert and
Jason Aldean.
ALL-TIME TOP 40: ARTIST'S CHOICE is executive produced by Quinn Brown. For more information visit CMT.com, download the
