Anticipating The Country Hits Of Summer 2024

The official start to Summer 2024 isn’t until June 20, but what is the fun of waiting? With temperatures rising and schools getting closer to letting out, the country music world is starting to crank out songs that you will hear around every cookout, bonfire, and outdoor event this summer season. As we embrace the warmth and sunshine, country music fans are eager to discover which tracks will dominate playlists and become the anthems of the season.

Recently, the popular radio show Taste of Country Mornings With Wood and Nicole posed an intriguing question to its listeners: what will be the song of the summer in 2024? The responses came rolling in, showcasing the excitement and anticipation that country music brings as summer approaches. With so many talented artists, there's no shortage of potential hits waiting to be unveiled.

Country music is looking to make it two years in a row to dominate the summer season. In 2023, Morgan Wallen's hit "Last Night" sat atop the Billboard Hot 100 list just in front of Luke Combs' "Fast Car," making it the first time ever that country held the top two spots on the list for summer. As fans eagerly await the next big hit, collaborations, and new singles are generating buzz and drawing attention to the genre.

Emerging Hits of Summer 2024

As we look ahead to the summer of 2024, several tracks are already being discussed as potential contenders for the top spot on your country summer playlist. One notable collaboration is Morgan Wallen's much-anticipated song with Post Malone, "I Had Some Help." The artists captured the audience's attention during their live performance at Stagecoach in early May, and fans are eager to see how this track will perform.

Another exciting entry comes from Dustin Lynch featuring Jelly Roll with their track "Chevrolet." This song cleverly borrows the melody from Dobie Gray's classic "Drift Away." According to Lynch, while it shares the same melody, the lyrics tell a different story, showcasing their creativity and respect for the original artist. This refreshing take on a familiar tune is sure to resonate with listeners.

Also making waves is Shaboozey's "A Bar Song," which has already skyrocketed to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. This catchy tune infuses elements from J-Kwon's hip-hop hit "Tipsy," merging genres to create something entirely new. Such innovative collaborations illustrate the dynamic nature of country music and its ability to evolve with the times.

Classic Influences and New Favorites

Reba McEntire's latest song, "I Can't," is another track gaining traction this summer. This song pays homage to '90s country, appealing to long-time fans and attracting new listeners alike. It's the first single from her upcoming album, and McEntire is set to perform it at the 2024 ACMs, further raising anticipation.

As these songs begin to circulate and playlists get updated, we encourage fans to keep their ears open for new music that might become the soundtrack of their summer. Whether it's a collaboration between big names or the emergence of fresh talent, the country music scene is vibrant and full of surprises.
