A handful of familiar faces help make the Top 5 of October's Top 40 Country Songs, but one famous face is missing.

Post Malone has two songs inside this month's Top 10, but neither could best Ella Langley and Riley Green, who hold down the No. 5 spot with "You Look Like You Love Me."

Morgan Wallen is also absent from the top of this list, but both men are well-represented overall. Jelly Roll, Shaboozey and Luke Combs are a few more stars with hot songs right now, but by Oct. 31, another artist may soar to No. 1.

MGK (with Jelly Roll) has been taking "Lonely Road" to every big stage he can find. Could it become a country radio single soon?

Top 20 Songs of 2024, Ranked (So Far)

New country artists rule this Top Country Songs of 2024 list, but that doesn't mean traditional country isn't represented early and often.

Zach Top and Ella Langley are two newcomers that purists may enjoy, while fans of more progressive country music will appreciate Jelly Roll, Post Malone and Shaboozey.

Airplay charts, sales data and streaming numbers helped make this list of country music's Top 20 Songs of 2024, but staff and Taste of Country reader opinion were most influential.

Songs included on previous Top Country Songs lists were not eligible. A song may have been released in 2023, but it had to have the majority of recorded airplay or impact this year to count.
