It's an award voted on by CMA peers and isn't song specific, rather a base of the work done during the previous year.
It is also instrument based (Mac is in for his guitar work).

Here is how voting is done: http://www.cmaworld.com/cma-awards/about

Mac is awesome! Congrats for yet another nomination, and hopefully win!

Out of curiosity, I wonder which chart-toppers he's been playing for? I guess Songs from St Somewhere would qualify for this year, but what about the previous 5? Is that info out there somewhere?
