Gosh dang, what a week it’s been for scorchin’ new country tunes! Not only were we blessed with spicy new releases from some of Australia’s finest up-and-comers, like Emmagen Rain (who just dropped Love Me Like A Cowboy), Jay Santilli (who went all out with You’re Not Coming In) and Jordie Lane (whose new cut Blame Me If You Want To is destined to be a hit), but the international heavyweights were out in full force: Jelly Roll came in guns blazing with his wicked new banger I Am Not Okay, for example, while Luke Combs delivered another instant classic in Remember Him That Way, and Blanco Brown got his fans going absolutely mental with One Day Less.
With all of that in mind, now seems like as good a time as any to remind you – or clue you in, if you didn’t know already – that we have our very own playlist dedicated to bringing you the best new music from all corners of the country music landscape, fittingly named Hot Country Hits Australia. We update it every Friday with more than a dozen of the brand new tracks we simply can’t get enough of, giving you the ultimate soundtrack to fuel your weekend.
You can listen to the Hot Country Hits Australia playlist on Spotify (here) and Apple Music (here) – and make sure to hit us up on Instagram or Facebook to let us know what songs you’ve been loving!
Here are just a few of our personal favourites from this week’s update to the playlist...

WHAT HE SAYS: “For everyone going through something – it’s okay to not be okay, but its all gonna be alright!”
WHAT SHE SAYS: “The song came about as we were going through old notes on my phone; it’s a reflection of some bad relationships I’ve had in my life. In this instance, we were talking about how sometimes you’re a glutton for punishment, and you just keep letting those people who aren’t so good for you back into your life. So, we were reflecting on that and [realised] there comes a time where you’ve got to close a door on your past in order to move forward.”
WHAT SHE SAYS: “Love Me Like A Cowboy is about being with someone you know you definitely shouldn’t be with. Your friends are rolling their eyes and shaking their heads but you just wanna live in the moment. Even though you know it won’t last, you’ll stay until he leaves (like a light on).”
