Justin Moore Finally Hits No. 1, Plus Fresh Albums Arriving Now

April 13, 2026

New No. 1 energy on country radio, and a stack of brand-new songs landing in your speakers this week.

Alright y’all, let’s talk about what’s lighting up country radio and what just hit your playlists. If it’s moving fast, climbing steady, or brand-new at midnight—this is the stuff listeners are hearing right now.

Big chart moment: “Time’s Ticking” finally strikes midnight

Justin Moore just parked “Time’s Ticking” at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart dated April 11, 2026—and it took the scenic route in a way we almost never see. The song reached the top in its 67th week on the chart, setting a new record for the slowest climb to No. 1. That’s the kind of slow-burn payoff country music was built for.

New albums landing now: Ella Langley and Tenille Townes

Ella Langley is officially in album season: her sophomore project Dandelion is out April 10, 2026. If you’ve had her voice stuck in your head lately, the new era is here—and radio’s got another fresh lane to run with her newer single “Be Her,” which was shipped to country radio on March 23, 2026.

Also on the new-release radar: Tenille Townes dropped The Acrobat on April 10, 2026, her first full-length album in years. If you like your country a little more lyrical and late-night, this one’s made for the drive.

New singles popping up on the dial

Morgan Wallen keeps feeding radio: “Don’t We” was serviced to country radio on March 2, 2026, and it’s the kind of title that feels built for big hooks and bigger singalongs.

And if you’re in the mood for something that crosses lanes, Bailey Zimmerman teamed up with Brandon Lake for “Just Believe,” released as a single on March 13, 2026. It’s one of those tracks that hits you right in the chest—then makes you hit replay.
