Recording artist Justin Moore has cultivated a body of work that is unapologetically country. His Southern accent is an integral part of his singing voice. He’s never too far away from his cowboy hat.

Since moving from Arkansas to Nashville, Tennessee to pursue music in the early 2000s, he’s continued to release singles celebrating some of country music’s core values—from spending time with loved ones and the magic of small-town living to the importance of grandparents.

His most recent project is all about reflecting on the hits he’s accumulated so far while looking forward to what’s ahead. Relatable, nostalgic chart toppers like 2009’s “Small Town USA” and 2011’s “If Heaven Wasn’t So Far Away” revealed Moore to be a true-blue country troubadour.

Decades later, the singer-songwriter has amassed 14 No. 1 hits, several of which are included on his recent album, “Greatest Hits … Moore to Come.” The March 2026 debut sparked a country radio resurgence thanks to a plucky song on the track list and an A-list Nashville collaboration.

Moore shared that his latest success, including a surprise No. 1 hit, is “beyond exciting.”

Taking a Moment to Celebrate

“Greatest Hits … Moore to Come” features quite a few of his signature tunes—from loving, anthemic tracks like “Til My Last Day” and “Point at You” to feel-good grooves like “Lettin' the Night Roll.” The lengthy album showcases his range and dedication to the country music tradition. “The 17-track collection honors the music that has defined Moore as one of country music’s most authentic and consistent storytellers throughout his nearly two-decade-long career,” Shore Fire Media stated.

The record also features key collaborations, including his work with fellow singer-songwriter Dierks Bentley on the song “Time’s Ticking.” The reflective number experienced a revival when it was released as part of the greatest hits record. The song is a reminder to slow down in this fast-paced world and appreciate what is truly important, like calling up a parent and chatting just for the sake of it, spending quality time with one’s children and family, or taking a Sunday drive with that special someone.

The “Time’s Ticking” collaboration with Bentley first appeared on Moore’s 2024 album, “This Is My Dirt.” But when the single made the cut for the greatest hits record, it took radio by storm and climbed all the way to the top of Billboard’s Country Airplay chart. The radio version of “Time’s Ticking” features Moore’s vocals solo, while the studio version of the uplifting track features his duo with Bentley, making their rendition included on “Greatest Hits … Moore to Come” all the more special.

With the announcement of “Time’s Ticking” becoming Moore’s 14th No. 1 hit, he took a moment to celebrate and share how thankful he is for the song’s success. “It’s beyond exciting, and humbling, to celebrate our 14th No. 1 with ‘Time’s Ticking,’” he wrote in reference to himself and the co-writing team behind the track, which included Jeremy Stover, Will Bundy, and Randy Montana. “I was proud of the song when we wrote it. I’m thrilled to see it resonate with so many people out there to this extent. … We are excited for what’s next.”

A Summer Tour

After a brief hiatus from touring in June, Moore plans to rejoin country singer Riley Green for the “Cowboy As It Gets” tour in July. Moore has also announced new music is on the way. Before gearing up for the road, he spoke with Colorado news outlet 98.5 KYGO about his most recent No. 1 hit. When asked about how it feels to score his 14th chart-topper before hitting the road to perform songs from his “Greatest Hits … Moore to Come” record, the veteran country singer was filled with excitement and gratitude. “It feels great,” he said.
