More Favorite Songs of 2020

 I recently listed my Top 10 Favorite Songs of 2020. Just for clarification let me explain that those songs all had to meet the eligibility for that list by reaching the Top 10 on the Billboard HOT 100 during 2020. I happen to be one of those people that believes that "It's not a hit until it's a hit on Billboard". Just in case you don't know, in order to reach the top of the Billboard HOT 100, a song must get the most sales, streams and radio airplay for any given week.


There were lots of other songs that I loved in 2020 that failed to make the top 10 on the Billboard HOT 100 singles chart. Here's a list of some of my other favorites in 2020. One thing that I can say about all of these songs is that it's a shame it didn't get more sales and airplay to do better on the Billboard HOT 100 singles chart.

In the ideal world, great songs from Country, Pop, Dance and R and B would all find their way to the upper positions of the Billboard HOT 100.

I Hope You're Happy Now - Carly Pearce and Lee Brice: There's a reason why this song won the CMA for Event of the Year. Great vocals, a danceable beat and lyrics we can all relate to.      

More Hearts Than Mine - Ingrid Andress: The most amazing song paired with an impressive new singer/songwriter leads to a nomination at the Grammys for Best New Artist. She really deserves a win!      

All Night - Brothers Osborne: These guys can be counted on to give a hot song that is high energy and great for a line dance.   

After A Few - Travis Denning: There's nothing wrong with enjoying some bro-country music about drinking and dating. This is one of the best!     

Lovin On You - Luke Combs: A roller rink party is the perfect setting for this fun lovin country music by Luke Combs. He's proving himself to be a big star delivering hit after hit.    

More Than My Hometown - Morgan Wallen: With the mullett and sleaveless plaid shirts he could be just another country boy stereotype, but he's got the great songs to go along with it.   

Beer Can't Fix - Thomas Rhett and Jon Pardi: Two sexy country singers coming together to give us a good time party song that is perfect for dancing a cha cha slide, county line or stationary cha cha.   

In Between - Scotty McCreery: Scotty won American Idol years ago and he is still giving us great music to show how worthy he is of the crown.   

Gabrielle - Brett Eldredge: Brett is just so good. He has a rugged down home voice and puts some real heart into everything he sings.    

Be A Light - Thomas Rhett: Words to live by during hard times and during all times. Thomas team up with Hilary Scott and Reba for this ispirational anthem. Let's hope we can all come together and start being a part of the solution.
