The very best of country radio right here in a nice playlist. In order for a song to be added to the list, it must currently be in the top 60 of the Billboard Country Airplay chart, so this will be updated weekly. Normally this feature is part of The Hodgepodge, but I’ve decided to make this a weekly standalone post. Here’s where all the songs currently stand on the chart:
9. Jana Kramer – “I Got The Boy”
17. Eric Church – “Mr. Misunderstood”
22. Chris Stapleton – “Nobody To Blame”
32. Maddie & Tae – “Shut Up and Fish”
33. Frankie Ballard – “It All Started With A Beer”
34. Jon Pardi – “Head Over Boots”
37. Kip Moore – “Running For You”
39. William Michael Morgan – “I Met A Girl”
41. Justin Moore – “You Look Like I Need A Drink”
52. Love & Theft – “Whiskey on My Breath”
53. Charles Kelley – “The Driver” [Re-Entered the Chart]
56. Toby Keith – “Beautiful Stranger”
59. Maren Morris – “My Church” [New]
60. Chris Stapleton – “Tennessee Whiskey” [New]
Is Mo Pitney’s Boy and a Girl Thing not in the top 60? Damn. That’s another one at radio that is a damn good song if you ask me.

Nope. It’s fallen out, although it could rebound back in. The holiday break makes the chart wonky. I hope it re-enters, but Curb has done such a terrible job with Pitney.

Curb gave up promotion on Mo. A real shame because his audience total would’ve been more than enough to enter the chart.

It’s too bad this will be Cam’s last week on the chart. I am excited to see what she releases I want to see Mayday get released myself but word around is that Want It All will be the follow-up song.
Jana Kramer looks to be peaking soon she had an add saying her song will be done soon. I do wish they would release like Circles or something like that unfortunately we will probably get Don’t Touch My Radio.
For me my +1s on the BB chart include the 15 you have above along with
Brothers Osborne Stay A Little Longer
Craig Morgan When I’m Gone
Lindsay Ell By The Way
Lauren Alaina Next Boyfriend (guilty pleasure)
Granger Smith Backroad Song (another guilty pleasure)
Thomas Rhett Die A Happy Man (I shouldn’t like this but I do)
Drake White Living The Dream
Rascal Flatts I Like The Sound Of That (guilty pleasure)
Florida Georgia Line Confession
Now time for me to assign the songs that have a 0 overall
Tim McGraw Top Of The World
Keith Urban Break On Me
Brad Paisley Country Nation
Chase Bryant Little Bit Of You
Dustin Lynch Mind Reader
Canaan Smith Hole In A Bottle
Little Big Town Pain Killer
Brantley Gilbert Stone Cold Sober
Chris Janson Power Of Positive Drinking
Hank Williams Jr Are You Ready For The Country
Joe Nichols Freaks Like Me
Chris Young & Cassadee Pope Think Of You
Cassadee Pope I Am Invincible
Ryan Kinder Tonight
Dylan Scott Crazy Over Me
Carrie Underwood Heartbeat
The rest are -1s which means for me
Good Songs: 24
Meh Songs: 16
Bad Songs: 20
So I guess like I’m a little softer on mainstream country music. With Big & Rich soon to come in with Loving Lately and the inevitable Dierks Bentley music soon approaching along with in my opinion Jennifer Nettles Unlove You there’s also a newcomer getting a little buzz her name is Tara Thompson and apparently she’s related to Loretta Lynn and her song that was just released to radio should chart within the coming weeks.

Why isnt Cold Beer Conversation on the list? I believe it was before

Unfortunately Justin, “Cold Beer Conversation” is not currently on the Billboard Country Airplay Chart, which is one of the requirements for it to be featured here. If it was still on the chart then it would surely be here. 🙂

It should be back in a week or two since the label is still promoting the song
