List of Billboard number-one country songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eddy Arnold, Conway Twitty and George Strait have all held the record for the greatest number of country number ones.

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
Year Notes Ref(s).
1944 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. [1][17]
1945 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. [18]
1946 "Guitar Polka" by Al Dexter and "New Spanish Two Step" by Bob Wills each spend 16 weeks at number one, the longest chart-topping runs to date. [4]
1947 The chart's title changes to Most Played Juke Box Hillbilly Records for nine weeks before reverting to Most Played Juke Box Folk Records. [1]
1948 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. [1][4]
1949 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. [1][4]
1950 Lefty Frizzell, one of the most influential artists in the transition of country music to mainstream acceptance, reaches number one for the first time. [19][20]
1951 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. [5]
1952 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. [1]
1953 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. [6][21]
1954 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. [1][22]
1955 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. [6]
1956 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. [1][23][24]
1957 The Juke Box chart is discontinued. [1]
1958 The Best Sellers and Jockeys charts are both discontinued and replaced with the combined Hot C&W Sides listing. [1]
1959 George Jones, one of country's most successful artists with over 150 charting songs, tops the chart for the first time. [25][26]
1960 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. [12][27][13]
1961 "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. [10][28]
1962 The Hot C&W Sides chart is renamed Hot Country Singles. [1]
1963 "Love's Gonna Live Here" by Buck Owens begins a run of 16 consecutive weeks at number one, a record that will stand until 2013. [29][30][31]
1964 Jim Reeves gains the first of six posthumous number ones in August, a month after his death in a plane crash. [32][33]
1965 "Once a Day" by Connie Smith completes a run of eight consecutive weeks atop the chart, a new record for a female artist. [31][34]
1966 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. [35]
1967 Two of country music's most successful female vocalists of all time, Tammy Wynette and Loretta Lynn, both reach number one for the first time. [36][37][38]
1968 "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. [39]
1969 Charley Pride, the first African-American performer to become a superstar in the country music genre, reaches number one for the first time. [40][41]
1970 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. [42][43]
1971 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". [44][45][46]
1972
1973 Marie Osmond becomes the youngest female artist to top the chart at age 14. [47][48]
1974 Future Country Music Hall of Fame inductees Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings and Bobby Bare all reach number one for the first time. [49]
1975 The prevalence of country-pop crossover artists such as Glen Campbell and John Denver means that many songs top both the country chart and the all-genre Hot 100. [14][15]
1976 Country Music Hall of Fame inductee Johnny Cash achieves his final solo number one. [50]
1977 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. [51][52]
