You\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but I\u2019ve really appreciated the recent trend of \u201cget this piece of media started at (insert time here) if you want to ring in the New Year the right way.\u201d Surely you\u2019ve seen it, right? Whether it be a movie, or a song (I\u2019ve seen \u201cFeel It In The Air Tonight\u201d recommended a lot), people are figuring out when to get something going so that it perfectly times up with the clock striking midnight.<\/p>\n<p>If you are interested, here you\u2019ll find a list of country music songs, and when to start them, so that the chorus kicks in just as the 2026 does.<\/p>\n<p>Obviously, you can do the math and figure out how to do this with whatever song of your choosing. But since it\u2019s the weird week between Christmas and New Year\u2019s, and you are probably off work, it never hurts to let someone else do the math for you. So here\u2019s some songs that I think are worthy of cueing up to welcome in 2026.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cI Never Lie\u201d by Zach Top<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This is an easy one. Zach Top\u2019s breakout hit has one of the catchiest country music choruses in recent memory. It\u2019s been stuck in my head ever since it came out, and if you start this one at exactly 11:59:16, you can scream \u201cI SLEEP LIKE A BABY\u201d right at midnight:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zach Top - I Never Lie (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/P6LeMSLYhko?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cFriends In Low Places\u201d by Garth Brooks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While you are hanging out with friends for New Year\u2019s Eve, might as well give this Garth Brooks classic a shot. Everyone will know it, and from my experience, everyone loves it (even those not so crazy about country people).\u00a0Press play on this Garth hit at 11:59:15 and the chorus will kick in right when you need it to:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Garth Brooks - Friends In Low Places (1080p60 HD)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/b7P97b64Q5E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cNeon Moon\u201d by Brooks &amp; Dunn<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Is it really a country music listical without Brooks &amp; Dunn? With this 1991 smash hit, you could really start it whenever you want. But if you want to wait for the chorus to come around, get this one going at 11:59:13:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Brooks &amp; Dunn - Neon Moon (Official Audio)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/AxFdeZER8Eg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cGood Time\u201d by Alan Jackson<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an easy one for you. Alan Jackson has countless hits that would be worthy of sending you from one year to the next. However, I\u2019d argue that \u201cGood Time\u201d is the most fitting. Who doesn\u2019t want to be having a good time that stretches from one year to the next?\u00a0If you want to have a \u201cGood Time\u201d going into 2026, line this one up to start right from the beginning, right at midnight:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Alan Jackson - Good Time (Lyrics)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/_5dmsJBCzZg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cDrink In My Hand\u201d by Eric Church<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Never hurts to go to Church on New Year\u2019s Eve, eh? I can\u2019t think of a better way to get the year started off the right than by sipping on a good drink and singing along to the Chief. \u201cDrink In My Hand\u201d is my ideal choice here, and with a drink in one hand and your finger on the play button, get this started 11:59:40:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Drink in My Hand - Eric Church\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/R03Xakd91Xw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>\u201cFamily Tradition\u201d by Hank Williams Jr.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Finally, the country music sing-along of all sing-alongs: \u201cFamily Tradition\u201d by Hank Williams Jr.. Like the Garth Brooks track that I mentioned earlier, everyone should know this one. And this song will work perfectly if you happen to be spending New Year\u2019s Eve with the family.\u00a0Press play at 11:59:20 and get ready to sing at the top of your lungs:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Family Tradition\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GdDyEqnhvNI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Happy New Year!
