Billboard magazine has published charts ranking the top-performing country music songs in the United States since 1944. The first country chart was published under the title Most Played Juke Box Folk Records in the issue of the magazine dated January 8, 1944, and tracked the songs most played in the nation's jukeboxes.[1] The first number one was the song "Pistol Packin' Mama", different recordings of which were bracketed together and treated as one entry. Billboard added a second chart in 1947 based on retail sales, and a third in 1949 based on radio airplay.[1] The jukebox chart was discontinued in 1957, and the following year, the remaining two charts were dropped and replaced with a chart, initially entitled Hot C&W Sides, which combined sales and airplay data into one overall ranking.[1] The chart was renamed Hot Country Singles in 1962, Hot Country Singles and Tracks in 1990, and Hot Country Songs in 2005.[1][2] In 1990, its methodology changed to use only airplay data from country music radio stations.[1] In 2012, this changed again to use data from stations of all formats as well as sales and streaming information.[3] At the same time, a new Country Airplay chart was introduced, which continued the former methodology of tracking plays on country stations only.[3]
In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Eddy Arnold was the biggest star in country music and set several chart records, one of which endured for more than 60 years. His 1947 song "I'll Hold You in My Heart (Till I Can Hold You in My Arms)" spent a total of 21 weeks at number one,[4] a record that would be equaled twice over the next decade but not broken until 2013.[5][6] He gained 28 number-one songs, a record that would stand until 1980, when it was broken by Conway Twitty, who ultimately gained 40 number ones. George Strait broke Twitty's record in 2006 and by 2021 had achieved 44 chart-toppers.[7] Long runs at number one became increasingly uncommon after the 1960s; in the entirety of the 1980s, no song spent longer than three weeks in the top spot, and in 1986 there was a different song at number one every week.[8] This changed, however, in the 21st century, especially after the change in methodology of Hot Country Songs in 2012. The record for the longest-running country number one was broken by "Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line, which spent 24 weeks atop the Hot Country Songs chart in 2012 and 2013,[9] a figure subsequently exceeded by "Body Like a Back Road" by Sam Hunt (34 weeks in 2017) and "Meant to Be" by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line (50 weeks in 2017 and 2018).[10][11] The songs that have topped the chart have reflected the evolution of the country music genre over the decades. The honky-tonk style of the 1940s and 1950s was overtaken in the 1960s by the "Nashville Sound", a smoother style with a broader appeal.[12][13] In the 1970s, the country-pop style increasingly enabled country artists to achieve success on the pop music charts,[14][15] and in more recent decades, some of the most successful songs have incorporated elements of hip hop music.[9][16]
Chart history
Each entry in the "Year" column links to the list of number ones for that particular year.
Billboard launches the Most Played Juke Box Folk Records chart, its first country music chart, in the issue dated January 8; the first number one is "Pistol Packin' Mama", up to four different recordings of which are bracketed together and treated as one entry.
Western swing star Bob Wills tops the chart with "Smoke on the Water"; as this had already been a number one for Red Foley the previous year, it is the first song to be a country number one for two different acts since Billboard dropped its brief initial policy of treating multiple recordings of a song as one entry.
The Best Selling Retail Folk Records is first published in addition to the Juke Box chart. Eddy Arnold dominates the top of both charts, spending almost the entire year atop both charts. His song "I'll Hold You in My Heart (Till I Can Hold You in My Arms)" ends a run of 21 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the juke box chart, a new record for the longest-running number one country song.
Billboard changes its terminology, referring to the genre as country and western rather than folk music, and changing the chart titles to Most-Played Juke Box (Country & Western) Records and Best-Selling Retail Folk (Country & Western) Records. Country & Western Records Most Played By Folk Disk Jockeys first published in December in addition to the two existing charts. Hank Williams, regarded as one of the most important singers and songwriters in the history of country music, gains his first number one.
Lefty Frizzell, one of the most influential artists in the transition of country music to mainstream acceptance, reaches number one for the first time.
Canadian singer Hank Snow ends a run of 21 non-consecutive weeks at number one on the best sellers chart with "I'm Movin' On", tying the record for the longest-running number one country song.
The genre description is removed from the titles of the individual charts and instead shown as an overall page title; charts are thus shown as Most Played in Juke Boxes, National Best Sellers, and Most Played By Jockeys.
Hank Williams dies on January 1 while at number one on both the best sellers and jockeys charts with "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)"; his songs go on to achieve four further number ones during the year.
The National Best Sellers chart is renamed Best Sellers in Stores. Hank Snow spends 20 consecutive weeks at number one on that chart with "I Don't Hurt Anymore", a new record for the longest unbroken run atop any of the charts.
Webb Pierce tops the juke box chart for 21 weeks with his version of the early 20th century song "In the Jailhouse Now", tying the record for the longest-running number one country song.
The genre description returns to the actual chart titles, which thus become Most Played C&W in Juke Boxes, C&W Best Sellers in Stores, and Most Played C&W By Jockeys. Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock and Roll" and the most successful and influential recording artist of all time, achieves several country number ones with his early rockabilly style.
Songs produced by Chet Atkins occupy the number-one position for 28 consecutive weeks; Atkins is seen as the originator of the "Nashville Sound", a new style of country music that eschewed elements of the earlier honky-tonk style in favour of smooth productions that had a broader appeal.
"Walk On By" by Leroy Van Dyke spends the first of 19 non-consecutive weeks at number one, a record for the combined chart that will stand for more than 50 years.
David Houston spends nine consecutive weeks at number one with "Almost Persuaded". The next unbroken run at number one of this length will not occur until 2012.
"Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye" is Eddy Arnold's 28th and final number one, a record that will stand for more than ten years. It is displaced from the top spot by "Next in Line", the first number one for Conway Twitty, who will go on to break Arnold's record in 1980.
Hank Williams Jr, who will eventually move on from simply imitating the style of his famous father to become one of the most successful artists in country music history, reaches number one for the first time.
Dolly Parton, the most successful female country performer of all time, achieves her first number one. Sonny James achieves a record 16th consecutive number one with "Here Comes Honey Again".
Waylon Jennings has the longest-running number one for ten years, spending six weeks at the top with "Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)". Elvis Presley reaches number one with the last single released in his lifetime.
Several number ones are by acts linked to the so-called outlaw country subgenre, which had emerged as a more hard-edged alternative to the smooth pop-country style that had dominated earlier in the decade.
Conway Twitty gains his 29th number one, surpassing Eddy Arnold's record. Three songs from the soundtrack of the film Urban Cowboy, which captures the current mainstream popularity of country music, top the chart.
Dolly Parton becomes the first artist to top the chart with two different recordings of the same song when she reaches number one with a new version of "I Will Always Love You", originally a chart-topper in 1974.
Billboard recognizes the band Alabama as having achieved a record-breaking 17th consecutive number one, although this is dependent on disregarding a Christmas single that peaked only at number 35.
Garth Brooks, one of the biggest-selling country artists of all time, reaches number one for the first time. Keith Whitley achieves the first of two posthumous number ones in September, four months after his death.
The Hot Country Songs chart methodology changes to use only airplay on country music radio stations; the chart is renamed Hot Country Singles & Tracks.
Canadian singer Shania Twain, who would go on to become one of the biggest-selling singers of any genre, gains her first country number one with "Any Man of Mine".
Blake Shelton ties the record held by Billy Ray Cyrus for the longest run at number one by an artist's debut single since the chart began using country airplay data in 1990.
George Strait achieves his 41st number one, breaking Conway Twitty's record. Carrie Underwood, winner of the fourth season of American Idol, achieves the first of many country number ones.
Reba McEntire, who first reached number one in 1983 and has been a regular in the top spot ever since, achieves the feat of having topped the chart in four different decades.
Reba McEntire gains the 25th number one of her career, tying the record for the highest number of chart-toppers by a female artist held by Dolly Parton.
The Hot Country Songs chart methodology changes to use airplay from stations of all formats as well as sales and streaming. A separate Country Airplay chart is launched using only airplay on country music stations. Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" breaks the record for the longest run at number one by a solo female artist, which has stood since 1965.
"Cruise" by Florida Georgia Line sets a new record as Billboard's longest-running country number one, finishing with 24 weeks in the top spot. The duo's success highlights the emergence of bro-country, a sub-genre incorporating elements from hip hop music and favoring lyrics about partying, drinking, and attractive young women.
"Meant to Be", a collaboration between pop singer Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line, breaks Hunt's record and goes on to spend 50 consecutive weeks at number one on Hot Country Songs.
Luke Combs achieves his sixth Country Airplay number one with his sixth charting single, a new record for the best start to an artist's career on a listing based on country music radio airplay. "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X misses out on reaching number one on Hot Country Songs when it is controversially removed from the chart for not being sufficiently representative of the genre.
"The Bones" by Maren Morris becomes the longest-running number one by a female solo artist on the Hot Country Songs chart in May. Gabby Barrett in turn breaks the record with "I Hope" in December.
Taylor Swift enters the Hot Country Songs chart at number one with a re-recorded version of her 2008 song "Love Story", making her the second artist to reach number one with two recordings of the same song.
Michael Ray's song "Whiskey and Rain" ties the record for the slowest climb to number one on Country Airplay at 65 weeks, a record previously set by Travis Denning's "After a Few" in June 2020. Morgan Wallen's "You Proof" sets a new record for the longest-running number one single based on country radio airplay since Billboard began publishing such a chart in 1990.
Morgan Wallen's "Last Night" is the first song by a male solo country singer to top the Hot 100 for more than 40 years. Luke Combs tops the Country Airplay chart with "Fast Car"; written and originally recorded by Tracy Chapman, it is the first country number written solely by a black woman.
Nate Smith's "World on Fire" spends a tenth week at number one on Country Airplay, tying the record for the longest-running chart-topper based solely off country radio plays. Beyoncé becomes the first African-American female artist to achieve a chart-topper in the country genre when "Texas Hold 'Em" tops Hot Country Songs.
