Ashley Gorley remains in the No. 2 position with the songs “What He Didn’t Do” (Carly Pearce), “Take My Name” (Parmalee), “New Truck” (Dylan Scott), “She Had Me At Heads Carolina” (Cole Swindell), “You Didn’t” (Brett Young), “You Proof” (Morgan Wallen), and “Holy Water” (Michael Ray).

Morgan Wallen (No. 3), Ben Johnson (No. 4) and Matt McGinn (No. 5) complete the top five this week.
