4. Rock And A Hard Place by Bailey Zimmerman

Bailey Zimmerman wrote this song after some complications in a relationship drove him to reconsider his alcohol consumption. It turns out several fans relate as he finally released it in response to its popularity in social media.

Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen released “You Proof” on his birthday. The song immediately led Billboard’s Country Airplay chart for ten non-consecutive weeks, which is unprecedented.

11. Wait In The Truck by HARDY, Featuring Lainey Wilson

HARDY and Lainey Wilson team up for a powerful song about a sensitive and disturbing subject matter that’s often left undiscussed – and that’s domestic violence. It’s amazing how the two talented artists gave an insight into the injustices domestic violence survivors endure every day.

12. Dawns by Zach Bryan, Featuring Maggie Rogers

Here’s another intense duet, which finds Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers expressing pain, sorrow, and misery after losing a love they once believed in so much.
