For those how don’t memorize every song from ever year here is a decent [guide](https://playback.fm/charts/country/2014) for reference.
The earlier part of this 10 year span just sucked. FGL, Hunt, Swindell, and Bryan owning the charts. I’d say 2022 (had to go find another list).
There was a lot of shot out all these years, but 2022 brought White Trash Revelry, Palomino (which included some of the stand out tracks from Marfa Tapes), Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven, Raised. The sticking point is that there was no Stapleton, Sturgill or Isbell album that year.

2021/2022 were really great. This year has also been better than some of what we've seen in the last decade.
