Did a song that was released in 2018 make our list? Sure. Is more than one not technically a single? You bet. Is there a song that doesn’t actually come out ’till July? Absolutely.

But after careful deliberation we settled on our criteria for our list: Our list shall be comprised of songs or singles that have been played, at least once, on Radio Texas, LIVE! since December of ’18. And while we tried to focus on actual radio singles, there is an exception or two.

Furthermore, Texas radio chart position has little (absolutely nothing) to do with our list — and a couple of the songs that made our list actually never even made it into our regular rotation. Why? Well, as much as we love to do it, we just don’t have the room to break every awesome new song and artist. We have just five hours each week, and let’s be honest. Texas and Red Dirt's most popular acts -- Turnpike Troubadours, Cody Johnson, Josh Abbott Band, Randy Rogers Band, Aaron Watson -- are still so neglected by radio it’s a crime. Concessions must be made.

So here they are in order of appearance on Radio Texas, LIVE!

Hayes Carll "None'ya"

Mike and the Moonpies "Steak Night at The Prairie Rose"

Mike Ryan "Other Side of the Radio"

Aaron Watson "Kiss That Girl Goodbye"
