Top 40 Country Songs for December 2022

This list of the Top 40 country songs of December 2022 is a lesson in the cost of love. Heartbreakers by Bailey Zimmerman and Lainey Wilson lead the way, while a more nuanced song that's rumored to be about another country hitmaker makes a big leap.

If you've not yet listened to Megan Moroney's "Tennessee Orange," you really should — if for no other reason than to try to solve the 'are they or aren't they' riddle about her and Morgan Wallen. Talking to SiriusXM, she confirmed the shirt she mentions was his shirt, but beyond that, it's been a wall of silence.

Ms. Moroney checks in at No. 8 in December, making her song the highest debut of the month. Kane Brown, Cole Swindell and Hardy are the more recognizable names at the top of the list. Find your favorite song and then click to listen.

The list of Top 40 country songs of December 2022 is compiled from Billboard chart data, streaming data, sales figures, staff opinion and reader feedback.
