Easton Corbin, who tied the lead with Lady Antebellum at the nomination process, ended in three wins including breakthrough artist, breakthrough artist single and breakthrough artist music video.

Male artist of the year was conferred on Brad Paisley.

The newly-created country music awards show honors country music artists in music, video, and touring categories. The winners were entirely voted on by fans on the internet.

It is the fourth major-awards show completely dedicated to the country music industry following Country Music Association Awards, the Academy of Country Music Awards, and the Country Music Television Music Awards.
