I consider both Sam Hunt's "Break Up In A Small Town" and Chris Lane's "Fix" to be pop songs that are (for some silly reason) played on country radio. I've liked everything from Sam so far, and I've decided that I like "Fix" for what it is: a pop song. I just hate that blatant pop songs get released to country radio. Anyway, I decided to mention them here because I can't place them within a list of country songs.

Neutral:

• "I Love This Life" - LoCash
• "Dibs" - Kelsea Ballerini
• "Backroad Song" - Granger Smith
• "Real Men Love Jesus" - Michael Ray
• "High Class" - Eric Paslay
• "Freaks Like Me" - Joe Nichols
• "Whiskey On My Breath" - Love and Theft

Bad:

01 "Die A Happy Man" - Thomas Rhett
02 "I Got The Boy" - Jana Kramer
03 "Gonna Know We Were Here" - Jason Aldean
04 "Gonna" - Blake Shelton
05 "Top Of The World" - Tim McGraw
06 "Mind Reader" - Dustin Lynch
07 "We Went" - Randy Houser

Haven't Heard:

• "Drunk On Your Love" - Brett Eldredge
• "Better In Boots" - Tyler Farr
• "Home Alone Tonight" - Luke Bryan f/ Karen Fairchild
• "Snapback" - Old Dominion
• "Crazy Over Me" - Dylan Scott
• "Power Of Positive Drinkin'" - Chris Janson
• "Livin' The Dream" - Drake White
• "What's Next?" - David Fanning
• "You Should Be Here" - Cole Swindell

I'm pretty sure that I'll really dislike the Brett Eldredge, Tyler Farr, Luke Bryan, Old Dominion, and David Fanning songs, but so far I've avoided hearing them. As for Chris Janson, his album is on my Christmas list so I'm just going to wait to listen to that one. I've added nearly every other current mainstream single to my library (I managed to get caught up by buying quite a few singles/albums last night, but there are still quite a few albums I need to listen to yet -- I put the ones I really want at the top of my Christmas list).
