According to AllAccess as of Saturday morning (2/14), Taylor Swift is #1. It looks like this will be the first #1 song by a country artist on the CHR/Pop chart in almost 28 years, when Kenny Rogers was #1 with "Lady" (Nov-Dec 1980).
Please note: I am not including Tim McGraw, as he was not the lead artist on "Over And Over," which wasn't even a country song. I suppose you could argue that McGraw would be the most recent artist to accomplish this feat, but it would at least need to be an asterisked point.
Please also note, I am not including pop artists who have gone on to have hit(s) on the country chart, such as Bon Jovi, Jewel, Jessica Simpson and Darius Rucker.
