It's rare for me to post country songs in this thread because I don't listen to them regularly, but I'm actually posting two country songs in a row this week. This time it's a song from 2004, which was at #54 on the Hot 100 this week and peaked at #51 two weeks later, as well as peaking at #5 on the Country chart a week after that. Here's "Hot Mama" by Trace Adkins.
