Blake Shelton is on the verge of his first solo No. 1 radio hit in six years, so it stands to reason he’s competing for this monthly Top 40 list’s top spot, as well.

“Texas” has got some stiff competition, however: Major album releases from Morgan Wallen and Eric Church include songs fans can’t get enough of. Then, there’s the slow burn of Zach Top, who has a strong case for No. 1 in May 2025.

Riley Green, Megan Moroney, Ella Langley and Shaboozey are a few relative newcomers quickly rising up through the Top 40. Vets like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and Rascal Flatts can be found, too.

As always, the May 2025 list of the Top 40 country songs is equal parts airplay, sales and streaming charts, plus fan ratings. Staff opinion breaks any ties.

• Morgan Wallen & Post Malone, “I Ain’t Coming Back” (5)
