1. ‘Til You Can’t by Cody Johnson

Congratulations are in order for Johnson, wherein, after a strong public appeal, he earned his first-ever No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay chart with “‘Til You Can’t.” With such relatable lyrics, it was no longer a surprise that country fans from all walks of life fell in love with the chest-thumping life anthem.

2. Doin’ This by Luke Combs

Ever since Combs debuted the song during the 2021 CMA Awards – where he was crowned Entertainer of the Year – listeners gravitated to “Doin’ This,” which is an ode to making music regardless of any fame or riches.

3. Buy Dirt by Jordan Davis featuring Luke Bryan

Davis’ “Buy Dirt” is winning the hearts of fans everywhere. After all, it’s something that we see and experience every day in our lives. Davis describes it as a song “about faith, family, and friends, and really finding your happiness.” As a result, it became Davis’ fastest-moving single to date.

4. Fancy Like by Walker Hayes

Hayes rides the wave of his crossover hit “Fancy Like” that will inevitably get stuck in your head. Not only did it take last summer by storm, but it also went all the way, headlining the show at Ryman Auditorium and securing a Grammy nomination for best country song.

5. Never Say Never by Cole Swindell/Lainey Wilson

Swindell teamed up with Lainey Wilson for a romantic ballad that tells the story of two lovers who know being apart is the right thing to do but feel too alive together to keep their distance.

6. AA by Walker Hayes

Famous Nashville songwriters Shane McAnally and Luke Laird teamed up with Hayes to write this song that conveys Hayes’ anxiety as a father, his love for his wife as well as his sobriety. 

7. If I Didn’t Love You by Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood

With two country superstars coming together for one heartbreaking ballad – trading anguished lines – you’ll expect nothing but feelings of emotional pain filling you up in “If I Didn’t Love You.”

8. Drunk (And I Don’t Wanna Go Home) by Elle King and Miranda Lambert

The superstars are currently celebrating as their powerful duet “Drunk” officially reached Platinum status. This gender-bending tale of two women spending a wild night of debauchery together has truly become a fan favorite.

9. Beers On Me by Dierks Bentley, Breland, and HARDY

Bentley enlisted singers Hardy and Breland for a laid-back ode that proves the generosity of friends can make the week’s problems and challenges melt away.

10. Wasted On You by Morgan Wallen

Wallen is here to serenade us with a slow-burning track that sings from the point of view of a man grieving the time, money, and miles he lost in a relationship only to end up failing. 

11. Slow Down Summer by Thomas Rhett

Rhett and his frequent collaborators – that includes his father, country icon Rhett Akins – wrote the song from the perspective of two young people in love and the changing seasons that take them apart.

12. 23 by Sam Hunt

Hunt fondly looks back on a past relationship in this nostalgic country-pop jam that he can do nothing about except wish his former sweetheart happiness – wherever she may be.

13. Heart On Fire by Eric Church

This sentimental tune is the latest release off Church’s three-part project, Heart & Soul, which reminisces a past stage in time when you’re still young and desire to spend every day like it’s the last.

14. Circles Around This Town by Maren Morris

In this song, Morris looks back on her leap of faith to come to Nashville – and it definitely echoes the country singer’s hard work and sacrifice.

15. Flower Shops by ERNEST featuring Morgan Wallen

As soon as ERNEST released “Flower Shops,” featuring Wallen, it was clear that the song was special. The two have actually been longtime friends and collaborators.
