They’re experiencing their first-ever single, so they’re certainly green. And they plowed through everything in their way to get to No. 1, so they’ve got all the power of a John Deere tractor. Appropriately, the JaneDear girls are showcased at the top of his weekend’s Nan Kelley-hosted edition of GAC’s Top 20 Country Countdown.

The JaneDear girls — Danelle Leverett and Susie Brown — met on the Nashville club circuit and hit it off immediately. They scheduled a songwriting session together, and it went so well that they abandoned their solo careers to create a duo. They made some appearances at MuzikMafia shows and got the attention of John Rich, who helped them secure a recording deal with Warner Bros. and is producing the girls’ first album. Something’s clearly working, since “Wildflower” bolted from No. 13 to No. 1 on the Top 20 this week.

JaneDear has plenty of company from other new acts on this week’s countdown. Katie Armiger has her best chart showing to date, landing at No. 3 with her latest video. LoCash Cowboys are also Top 5, Randy Montana’s first video is in the Top 10 and The Band Perry’s “If I Die Young” remains on the list. Plus, newcomer Emily West is Nan’s in-studio guest.

Top 20 Country Countdown counts down the week’s top country videos from No. 20 to No. 1 as voted by viewers on each week on GACTV.com.
