Cody Johnson

Grief, regret and hopelessness are three major themes in this countdown of the most depressing country songs of all time.

Among the surprises: A first-time nominee who also notched an Entertainer of the Year nod! Among the snubs: One of country music's leading ladies.

This year's list features some heavy hitters.

It's the second time in a month that Johnson has made news from a tour stop.

He had to compose himself before he could sing again.

WWE wrestlers, Baywatch celebrities, boy band members and athletes were among the most popular responses, but they weren't all crushes.

We're placing our bets that these albums will make a HUGE splash this year.

With Luke's help, Cody is ready for the next level.

Cody says there's a stigma about artists like him.

Dierks Bentley, Jelly Roll and Morgan Wallen are just a few of the stars who made Taste of Country's list of the best albums of 2023.

Cody Johnson, Kane Brown and more stars are also on deck to celebrate New Year's Eve in Nashville.

COJO Nation definitely knows these songs by heart.
