Top 40 Country Songs for January 2022

A new year brings new opportunities for artists slowly moving up this monthly list of country music's Top 40 songs to take a big leap. January 2022 represents a cleansing of the palette in that radio programmers and country listeners return to work and real life after three undocumented weeks, during which the opportunities to soak up new sounds are endless.

Plus, certain songs just hit a bit differently during the holidays. Cody Johnson's "Til You Can't" is an example, thus his big move on the January 2022 Top 40 list. Jordan Davis' song about investing in family values remains at No. 1 on the strength of continued airplay, strong sales and its ability to hit the mark during the family season.

For the most part, artists held off releasing new music in December, so to start 2022, the country music Top 40 features just a handful of fresh tracks. For example, Luke Combs' "Doin' This" is the highest debut, but fans heard that song two months ago. The list of Top 40 country songs of January 2022 is compiled from Billboard chart data, streaming data, sales figures, staff opinion and reader feedback.
