3. Wasted On You by Morgan Wallen
The heartbreak ballad where Wallen reflects on how he can’t get over his old flame impacted the country radio airwaves in a big way. After all, the song’s theme of turning to a bottle of bourbon to lessen the pain is quite relatable.

5. Trouble With A Heartbreak by Jason Aldean
This catchy track finds Aldean navigating the pain and sorrow after the end of a relationship. In addition to this brand-new track, the country star has also shared the music video for the song, which follows a heartbroken cowboy.

In this song, Wilson joins Swindell to sing about a challenging relationship – the kind where you know it’s not good for you, but you can’t help but just go back. It’s undoubtedly something a lot could relate to.

8. Fancy Like by Walker Hayes
It’s not yet half of the year, but this ode to low-key date nights seems like going to be the Song of the Year! Now, Hayes is riding the wave of his unescapable crossover hit – that took last summer by storm leading to a Grammy nomination.

Dierks Bentley has enlisted the help of singers Hardy and Breland for a laid-back barroom singalong set to an easygoing tempo. Truly, friends’ generosity can make the week’s troubles melt away.

Rhett gave us a glimpse of how he has lived, looking back to his days as a youngster and the inescapable goodbye that came at the end of a short but sweet summer romance.
