It is named after the long running radio show American Country Countdown. 

The songstress - who just appeared at Stagecoach festival over the weekend - told FOX411 at the event: 'This award show is special because it's...all about fans and all about radio and without the two of those there would be no country music,

'Country music has the best fans hands down. I see it on the road every single night when we have shows. They are loyal and supportive. It's so nice to be able to have things like this and stand up there and say thank you specifically to the fans.'
