Fresh spins, big jumps, and brand-new songs hitting the speakers right now—here’s what country fans are hearing this week.
Alright y’all, turn it up—this week’s country airwaves are moving like a Friday night dance floor. Here’s what’s loud, what’s climbing, and what just hit the speakers.
Luke Combs lands back at the top
Luke Combs just punched his keycard straight to No. 1 as “Sleepless in a Hotel Room” takes over Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated April 18, 2026). If you’ve been hearing it everywhere, you’re not imagining things—this one’s the new leader, and it also marks Combs’ 20th Country Airplay No. 1.
And he’s not done: “Days Like These” is still right there in the mix too, continuing to rise into the upper part of the chart.
Dan + Shay bring a brand-new one to radio
New music alert: Dan + Shay arrive with “Say So”, debuting on Country Airplay after a strong first week of radio love. If you’re into big hooks and that smooth harmony blend, this one’s officially on the board—and it’s already sounding like a “keep it on” kind of record.
Shaboozey & Jelly Roll: “Amen” already had its moment at No. 1
If “Amen” has been a staple in your rotation, here’s why: Shaboozey & Jelly Roll previously hit No. 1 on Country Airplay (dated March 28, 2026). It’s the kind of duet that feels built for windows-down volume—so don’t be surprised if it keeps hanging around your presets.
Jason Aldean’s radio run keeps rolling
Jason Aldean kicked off 2026 radio momentum with “How Far Does a Goodbye Go” reaching No. 1 on Country Airplay (dated February 21, 2026). That track also tees up his album Songs About Us, which is scheduled for April 24, 2026.
And if you’re hearing the next chapter starting to pop up, that’s because Aldean’s follow-up single “Don’t Tell On Me” has been making noise with a big early wave of station adds.
