New country songs from unexpected sources earned high marks on this month's list of the Top 40 Country Songs. September 2020 begins the windup to awards season, and A-List stars and hot newcomers are bringing their best.

Taylor Swift returns to the Top 40 Country Songs list for the first time in years, as "Betty" continues to be among the most-added songs by country radio programmers. Dan + Shay, Darius Rucker and Little Big Town also crack through with hot new songs, while Morgan Wallen adds two songs the Top 40 list, including one that could soon become a major crossover smash.
