Country Western music is hugely popular. According to UnchainedMusic, it is comparable in popularity to Pop and Rock, as you can see in the chart below:
One reason Country songs resonate with so many people are its relatable lyrics, especially when it comes to their love songs. Take Luke Comb’s 2018 smash hit, “Beautiful Crazy.”
“Beautiful Crazy”
Spotify says it’s the top selling country love song of the century so far. Much of the appeal lies in the lyric’s down-to-earth expression of love that recognizes the quirkiness of his lover:
Beautiful, crazy,
She can’t help but amaze me,
The way that she dances,
Ain’t afraid to take chances,
And wears her heart on her sleeve;
Yeah, she’s crazy,
But her crazy’s beautiful to me.
“Tennessee Whiskey”
If anything, Chris Stapleton’s “Tennessee Whiskey,” is even more popular. The song tells a great story. The singer finds his excessive love of whiskey is replaced by his love for a good woman:
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey,
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine,
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy,
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time.
“Die a Happy Man”
Thomas Rhett’s 2015 love song, “Die a Happy Man,” makes a great first dance wedding song with it’s expressions of contentment found in his lover:
I don’t need no vacation, no fancy destination,
Baby, you’re my great escape,
We could stay at home, listen to the radio,
Dance around the fireplace.
“Meant to Be”
Bebe Rexha joined forces with Florida Georgia Line for a huge country crossover hit, “Meant to Be.”
“Speechless”
Dan + Shay’s 2018 hit song, “Speechless,” is another great wedding first dance song with great lyrics like these:
Starin’ at you, standin’ there, in that dress,
What it’s doin’ to me, ain’t a secret,
‘Cause watchin’ you is all that I can do,
And I’m speechless.
These are some of the Top Country love songs of the 21st century so far. They offer much cross-over appeal with people who don’t typically listen to Country music.
