Our Bee Battle has had some songs get thousands of votes and yet not get enough votes to win, so we are having a special Bee Battle Second Chance Playoff with four songs doing battle.

This week we have two new competitors in our Bee Battle as we enter Chris Young and Cassadee Pope and 'Think Of You' into the Bee Battle Hall of Fame after their fifth win this week. They received 70 percent of the vote in a win over newcomer Kane Brown, with over 15,000 total votes!

The defending champions, Chris Young & Cassadee Pope, held off challenger Trace Adkins in this week's Bee Battle. The final tally was 55 percent to 45 percent with over 13,000 votes! That means Chris Young & Cassadee Pope's song 'Think Of You' faces off against a new challenger.

The latest Bee Battle was epic, we had over 65,000 votes as the fan bases of Chris Lane , Chris Young and Cassadee Pope showed their support. In the end, our champion Chris Lane with 'Fix' lost out to Chris Young & Cassadee Pope with 'Think Of You' by a count of 58% to 42%.

The Bee Battle champion again for this week is Chris Lane with his new hit song 'Fix'. It won 77 percent of the vote versus newcomer Maren Morris and her debut single 'My Church'. This week Chris Lane goes up against the powerful duet from Chris Young and Cassadee Pope 'Think Of You'.

Chris Lane is the current champion in our Bee Battle. He has won for three weeks in a row with his new song 'Fix'. It soundly defeated Old Dominion's new song 'Snapback' by getting 86 percent of the vote.

Newcomer Chris Lane has won the first two weeks of 'The Bee Battle', this week his challenger is the band Old Dominion. Give a listen to both songs and then vote for the song you like more.

The first ever Bee Battle saw Chris Lane and his new song called 'Fix' as the champion. He will defend his title against another hot new song from Dylan Scott called 'Crazy Over Me'.

It's our first ever Bee Battle! It's two new country songs battling for your votes! The winner will defend their title next week against a new song. The first Bee Battle features newcomer Chris Lane versus Drake White.

Last week when I was filling in on the Morning Buzz with Sarah Dyer, we got to talking about people that name their cars. I mentioned that the only car that I owned that I ever named was my 1989 Pontiac Firebird. I called it 'Double T', it was a 't-top' car and I am a huge Travis Tritt fan.

Sarah and Andy talked about having you, Bee Nation, name Andy's new car. It's a 2013 Malibu Eco and you guys left some great names on the B98.5 Facebook page to choose from.
