Top 40 Country Songs for May 2019
The top country songs of May 2019 include a future Hall of Famer, a rising star and a country music newcomer, plus a 20-year-old rapper from Atlanta that people have very mixed opinions about.
"Old Town Road" debuts on this month's list of the best songs in country music right now, but Lil Nas X and company sit behind four more universally agreeable country songs. Thomas Rhett, Blake Shelton and ToC RISER Morgan Wallen all rule in May. What song do you think should be No. 1?
Elsewhere on the list, find new country music from Luke Bryan and Brantley Gilbert, plus rising hit songs from Runaway June, Kelsea Ballerini and Maren Morris. George Strait also continues his climb up the charts. If the King hits No. 1, he'd among the oldest to do it ever!
The list of Top 40 Country Songs of May 2019 is compiled from Billboard chart data and sales figures, in addition to staff opinion and reader feedback.
