Several artists with songs on this list of the Top Country Songs of 2022 can be counted on for an entry every year, but there’s new blood and at least one artist that nobody saw coming when the year in country music began.
Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Walker Hayes and Kane Brown are a few of the artists with top songs on last year’s list who also make this new Top 10. Meanwhile, Cole Swindell, Ernest and Scotty McCreery proved themselves worthy for the first time — or at least the first time in several years.
Remember, this is only the Top 10 Country Songs of 2022 so far. There’s plenty of new music still to come this year, which means the deck will surely be shuffled before the calendar closes. To qualify, a song must have spent most of its total time on the Billboard country chart in 2022. A song also can’t have made a previous end-of-year Top Country Songs list.
