Only 32 Country Songs Have Ever Gone #1 All-Genre, Here’s The Full List

Quite a few surprises here. There’s no denying that country music has gotten bigger than ever before in the past decade. Spearheaded commercially by the likes of Morgan Wallen, Zach Bryan, Luke Combs and more, we’ve seen a plethora of records broken by country artists recently. Whether it’s Wallen setting numerous records from most songs charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in a single week to becoming the third-highest-selling artist in U.S. history, Bryan scoring the most-attended concert in U.S. history with his show at Michigan University last September or artists such as Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, Shaboozey and more breaking into the pop scene, it’s quite easy to argue that the genre is the most popular it’s ever been. After experiencing years of irrelevance, generally speaking, from an all-genre chart perspective, the 2020s have already proven to be one of the best decades in history for country music. In fact, there have already been more songs to go #1 on both the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 and Hot Country Songs chart over the last five years than the 80s-2010s combined. Diving deeper into the discrepancies from the 2020s compared to the 90s and 2000s/2010s in particular, there were only two songs, Lonestar’s “Amazed” and Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” (which can hardly be considered a country song), that topped both charts. In comparison, 2023 and 2024 alone saw eight unique country songs top them. Of course, there are a few songs present here that can hardly be considered country, with both Swift’s aforementioned hit as well as Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em” being the most contestable. With that being said, however, there’s a fascinating mix overall. From all-time classics such as Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5,” Glen Campbell’s “Rhinestone Cowboy” and Marty Robbins’ “El Paso” to new smashes like Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything” and Ella Langley’s “Choosin’ Texas” to one-hit wonders like Oliver Anthony with “Rich Men North of Richmond,” there are quite a few surprises on this list. Taylor Swift’s new song from Toy Story 5, “I Knew It, You Knew It” has her back on at the top of the country charts, as well as the all-genre Billboard Hot 100… marking her as the newest entry to this exclusive list.
