14. Whiskey On You by Nate Smith

Smith chose the longtime favorite theme in the genre, and that’s resorting to whiskey to drown the memory of a painful and terrible breakup. But he eventually realized no drinking would bring his woman back, so he decided not “to waste another drop of whiskey” on her.

15. Thought You Should Know by Morgan Wallen

Wallen did it again, scoring his fourth No. 1 debut on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart! “Thought You Should Know” is actually Wallen’s tribute to his mother, which he co-wrote with country star Miranda Lambert.
