Top 5 Country Songs of December 2023:

1. Jelly Roll With Lainey Wilson, "Save Me" (+2) — While not yet an official No. 1 at country radio, Jelly Roll's hit with Lainey Wilson is a No. 1 here. — FAN POLL WINNER!

2. Chris Stapleton, “White Horse” (-) — This is quite possibly the biggest song of Stapleton's career, aside from "Tennessee Whiskey."

3. Zach Bryan (Feat. Kacey Musgraves), “I Remember Everything” (+4) — Country radio is about the only entity not embracing this duet. — TOP STREAMER AND SALES!

4. Luke Combs, “Where the Wild Things Are” (+19)— Luke Combs' story of a brother with a wild side was one of the best from the 2023 CMAs.

5. Hardy, "Truck Bed" (+7)— Is "Truck Bed" an unlikely hit for Hardy? Five years ago, maybe, but in 2023 the rocker fits just fine.
