Saving Country Music Updates Top 25 Playlist With New Tracks Ahead of Wyatt McCubbins Oct. 16 Album Release
Just in time for the autumn rush, the Saving Country Music Top 25 Playlist has received a fresh infusion of tracks that map the current pulse of country and roots music. The update arrives a few weeks before Wyatt McCubbin’s debut album 650, scheduled for release on October 16 on Dave Cobb’s Lucille Records imprint of MCA.
McCubbin’s lead single “All Outta You”, dropped August 21, 2026, will anchor the album. The song was recorded live to tape at Thunderbolt Studios in Savannah, Georgia, under the guidance of producer Dave Cobb. McCubbin, whose catalog now approaches 2,000 songs, inked a deal with Lucille Records on July 17, 2026. The album will arrive in digital and vinyl formats.
The playlist’s newest entries include: • Darby Sparkman – “American Shoestring”, a single released August 28, 2026 on Prairie Rose Records. The track is co‑written and produced by Adam Odor. • Brandon Flowers – “Tiger’s Blood”, taken from his 2026 album Thrasher. • The Wilder Blue – “The Hunt”, from the group’s album Cinco. • Mason Lively with Presley Haile – “Azaleas”, the emotional centerpiece of Lively’s album The Hill Country Sound. • Kimmi Bitter – “Over You”, a track from Bitter’s album Bittersweet. • Tony Hannah – “It Takes a Man to Say Goodbye”, from the album Love It Or Leave It. • Chasen Wayne – “The Diamond Saloon”, the title track of Wayne’s new album The Diamond Saloon.
Beyond the fresh cuts, the playlist continues to feature a mix of recent singles and album tracks chosen for their flow rather than chart placement. These include: • “Taking to a Dreamer” – Robert Henry & the Repeaters – Down The Road • “Tiger’s Blood” – Brandon Flowers – Thrasher • “Cut The Chain” – Jason James – Cut The Chain • “Ghosts of the Panhandle Wind” – Red Shahan – Hard Land • “Gas Is Cheap” – Lena Rich – Emerald City • “Sideways” – Schaffer Brothers Band – Old Thing New • “Blink of an Eye” – Bronwyn – Rattlin’ Bones • “Looking For a Place to Die” – John R. Miller – The Great Unknowing • “Money Business” – Addison Johnson – The State I’m In • “Longitude” – Silverada – Living Proof • “Dontcha” – Matt Castillo – single • “Undertow” – Tyler Richards – single • “Turpentine” – Wade Bowen – The Version Of Me You Get • “Make Mine Country” – Paige Plaisance – single • “Piece of Heaven” – Colton Dawson – single • “Silver Promise” – Presley Haile – Hamilton Honey: Part I EP
The playlist is available on Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, and Apple Music, giving fans and industry insiders a ready‑made snapshot of the genre’s evolving landscape.
Looking ahead, McCubbin will open for Zach Top’s September 2026 tour and is slated to support Luke Combs on 12 dates in 2027. The 650 album will be available for purchase and streaming on the announced release date, and listeners can keep the playlist updated via Spotify.
