Top 40 Country Songs for September 2018

The top songs of the month for September 2018 are hits from recent 2018 CMA Awards nominees. The No. 1 song is arguably the song of the year.

Fans will learn if that's the case during the Nov. 14 ABC telecast. For now, it's worth considering how songs by Brett Young, Eric Church, Chris Janson and Maren Morris stack up against ballads by Carrie Underwood and Jason Aldean, and one catchy-as-heck ditty from Florida Georgia Line.

Dan + Shay rank high on this list with "Speechless," their follow-up to the CMA nominated "Tequila." Newcomers Mitchell Tenpenny, Riley Green and Russell Dickerson continue the slow climb to No. 1.
