1. Last Night by Morgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen continues his reign at the top with “Last Night,” which finds the East Tennessee native singing about relationship struggles in an alcohol-infused drama. The song peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart after ascending from a debut position of No. 7. 

2. Thank God by Kane Brown With Katelyn Brown

Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown are couple goals in the romantic duet “Thank God,” where they combine their talents and love. The song finds them professing their passion for each other and confessing their gratitude to God for bringing them together.  

3. Thought You Should Know by Morgan Wallen

Here’s another song by Morgan Wallen! He co-wrote “Thought You Should Know” with the most talented women in country music, Miranda Lambert and Nicolle Galyon, to honor his mother. Remarkably, the song debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart.

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.

5. You Proof by Morgan Wallen 

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.

6. Going, Going, Gone by Luke Combs

Surprisingly, this is the first song in Luke Combs’ career where he plays his own guitar rather than relying on session musicians – and apparently, country fans are loving it.

7. Something In The Orange by Zach Bryan

The Navy veteran has seen a steady rise in his career since the release of his breakthrough album American Heartbreak, which was certified gold in just a few months – along with “Something In The Orange,” which became a No. 1 country hit for Bryan.

8. Heart Like A Truck by Lainey Wilson

This song is brilliantly written with clever metaphors, and it’s amazing to know that it’s actually semi-autobiographical of the growth Lainey Wilson experienced – both as a person and an artist.

9. The Kind Of Love We Make by Luke Combs

This romantic ballad by Luke Combs is just catchy and delivers its share of edgy passion. It is absolutely hard to miss!

10. Love You Anyway by Luke Combs 

Here’s another track by Luke Combs! This time, the North Carolina native captures classic country heartache and nostalgia in the song that you’ll be taken back to the 1990s or 2000s.

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. 

13. What He Didn’t Do by Carly Pearce

Carly Pearce shook the country music community when she filed for divorce from her husband after just a few months of marriage. While the real reason for their split was never revealed, the country singer gives us a glimpse through this gentle piano ballad.

14. Handle On You by Parker McCollum

Handle on You is the lead single to Parker McCollum’s upcoming fourth studio album, Never Enough, which he co-wrote himself. McCollum said he wrote “Handle On You” with the desire to make a song that was different from his usual ones.

15. Wild As Her by Corey Kent
