Back to Best Country Songs of 2012

Jon Kopaloff, FilmMagic
Little Big Town made us all long for a lazy day cruising down the lake working on a tan with their smash "Pontoon," a sultry ode to floating in the sun that became their first-ever No. 1 single. The tune became the unofficial summer anthem of 2012 and replaced "Boondocks" as the band's new signature song. The undeniably catchy song even reportedly upped sales of the water cruiser -- though the band reportedly didn't land any freebies out of the deal endorsement-wise ... yet.
