September 4, 20231 yr I made this list recently... is anything missing from it? The definition of 'country' here isn't too strict, so there may be a few Taylor songs that I'm missing - and I'm not sure whether 'Nothing Breaks But a Heart' would count as one! Lost Frequencies - Are You With Me (#1, 2015) (a bit loose, but it's just a remixed version of a 2012 country song by Easton Corbin!) Lady Gaga - Million Reasons (#39, 2016) Justin Timberlake (feat. Chris Stapleton) - Say Something (#9, 2018) Kylie Minogue - Dancing (#38, 2018) Kylie Minogue - Stop Me from Falling (#52, 2018) I don't think any of these count as country, they're all pretty much pop songs with an acoustic guitar thrown in.
September 4, 20231 yr To be honest the lines of what is/isn't country is just kinda messy and ill-defined. Like nobody calls "Fast Car" a country song but Luke Combs covers it with complete faithfulness and it's suddenly a country song because he's the one singing it. It's like there's these weird obsessive compulsive people who insist on putting everyone in neatly defined boxes for their own convenience rather than embrace music's weird melting pot. Like Billboard kicking up a stink about Lil Nas X but they'll put "Blinding Lights" in the R&B charts.
October 27, 20231 yr I know this one was already included in the opening post (possibly added after the thread was made) but it’s rising again in the charts this week and looks set to be the latest big country hit in the UK; ZVVvJjwzl6c
March 2, 20241 yr Author Updated with new entries + positions from 2024 so far. I've noticed that 'Devil You Know' by Tyler Braden has popped up on the Spotify UK Viral chart, one to keep an eye on I think... Pu3Y9VwuVlw

March 4, 20241 yr 'Hurt' making the list :heart: (also, they count 'The Git Up' but not 'Old Town Road'? hmm x tbf Blanco Brown is more of a core country artist)
