Today's video is a DEEP DIVE into the world of country music, and I'm determined to figure out if the stereotypes people have about modern country songwriting are actually true. Is it REALLY all about beer and trucks and girls and blue jeans? Are all the lyrics REALLY the same? To find out, I maintained a spreadsheet of every country song that has reached the Top 30 of Billboard's Country Airplay chart for the past six years (2014-2019) and then crunched a whole lot of data.
