This week's race for No. 1 was between three singers with reality show competitions on their resumes. Videos from Chris Young and Tate Stevens challenged mulit-week champion Carrie Underwood, with the winner not decided until the final minutes of the week-long poll.

Winning Season 2 of 'X Factor' has helped Tate Stevens reach his goals, with a record deal, the hot new single 'Power of a Love Song' on country radio, and an upcoming full-length album release. With all of his success, he never forgot about the small town he grew up in -- and now Belton, Mo. is giving back to him by honoring Stevens on their water tower.

It’s become a regular way for new artists to break through in music; reality singing competitions like American Idol, The Voice and X Factor are watched by millions.  That’s a good thing for an artist who’s trying to make it in the industry.

Just days after being announced as the second single from 'Based on a True Story ...,' Blake Shelton's new song 'Boys 'Round Here' will face quite a test. The track is set to go up against three-night Showdown winner Tate Stevens today and tonight on Taste of Country Nights radio.

The response to 'Power of a Love Song' is still impressive, however. Behind the strength of strong phone call voting, Stevens' debut single survived to find a new challenge today and tonight on Taste of Coun

No lead is safe on the ToC Showdown. Jon Pardi was ahead late into the night last night before Justin Moore fans attacked with heavy online and phone call voting at Taste of Country Nights radio. The result: 'Point at You' is the new Showdown champion. The singer will need support from his fans once again -- perhaps a little earlier -- to knock off 'X Factor' winner Tate Stevens.

Winning a reality show competition can be a golden ticket to a big career and that may be the case for recent X-Factor winner Tate Stevens.  Tate won the second season of the show which landed him a big record deal and part of the deal is a sponsorship with Pepsi.

Country hopeful Tate Stevens fell from grace a little on 'X Factor' last week, dropping from the top slot on the leaderboard after occupying it for multiple weeks. He's out to recapture that crown, so he decided to change things up a little and do an upbeat song on Wednesday's (Nov. 28) episode -- something we haven't really seen from him in past weeks. He tackled Keith Urban's 'Somebody Like You'

On tonight's diva episode of 'X Factor,' country singer Tate Stevens served up a terrific version of Shania Twain's 'From This Moment On.' Stevens was atop the leaderboard in fan votes last week, so the country genre is well-represented on this particular reality series. The fact that Stevens chose to sing a country diva's song for this themed episode was also a nice touch and kept country deeply
