In fact, Country is one of the few genres that can still sell decently tbh

Only 1 country song this year has multiple weeks in the sales t10, Girl Crush.
Then there are 2 songs that got 1 week each, the opening singles by Luke and Carrie.

It's not a genre thing.

But country albums sell well, don't they?

1. Adele - Hello 1.0000
2. Chris Stapleton - Tennessee Whiskey 0.8680
3. Justin Timberlake - Drink You Away 0.5125
4. Little Big Town - Girl Crush 0.1840
5. Justin Bieber - Sorry 0.1777

There's 3 country albums in the top 30 selling albums of the year.

Country doesn't sell especially well, but country radio is the second-biggest radio format by number of stations (behind pop).

It's been a long time since a country song hit the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
But his sales will be split in 2 weeks since the tracking period for sales ends today.

T10 on both country radio and H100 this century:
2. You Belong with Me
[2. Need You Now/Lady A]
3. Mine
4. Love Story
[4. Cruise/FGL]
6. Back to December
6. Red
[6. What Hurts the Most/Rascal Flatts]
7. Begin Again
[7. Dirt Road Anthem/Jason]
[7. Just a Kiss/Lady A]
[8. Before He Cheats/Carrie]
9. Fearless
[9. I Told You So/Carrie feat Randy Travis]

Average 1 per year. Even split between Goddess Swift and not.
Of course there could be some outlier songs that went T10 but weren't embraced by country radio...

Isn't too helpful when country songs so rarely cross over.
Based on Kworb's positions, no country song with still enough airplay to track cracked the overall radio T10.
Luke's highest has gone #13, Zac Brown's highest #14, Sam Hunt even with decent ac/hac crossover got to #15.

I guess it's just a slow year for country music.

I think it goes:

Pop > Hip-Hop >>>> Country > Rock >> R&B > Other

For selling power I would guess that it is:

1. Pop
2. Rhythmic/Urban
3. Country
4. HAC

And for radio format size it is:

1. Pop
2. Country
3. Rhythmic
4. HAC
5. Urban

[fridayteenage]

Though, overall I would put rock ahead of country in the sense that we still see a decent number of rock (or, okay, alt rock) songs cross over majorly onto pop radio.

Didn't Lonestar's "Amazed" go #1 on both the Hot 100 and Country radio in 2000? And I only know that because I once wanted to know what the last country song was that topped the Hot 100.

The century started 1/1/01, boo.

Though if you extend T10 to T15, We Are Never Ever is the century's only #1 that went T15 on country radio.

Um what?
The century started 1/1/00

[alexanderao]

fridayteenage is correct, stop it.

EDIT: Depends on whether he's referring to the 21st century or the 2000s.

Wait are you joking? If that's the case then the 2nd century started in year 100 AD, meaning the first century had 99 years (1AD until 99 AD) and century means 100

Stay in school kids.

To be fair, it's a very common misconception.

Yeah that's what I found as well

The 21st century is the current century of the Anno Domini era or the Common Era, in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. It began on January 1, 2001, and will end on December 31, 2100.It is the first century of the 3rd millennium. It is distinct from the century known as the 2000s, which began on January 1, 2000 and will end December 31, 2099.

Mess

Starting the century in the year 2000 feels so much better and more logical.

Would be worth it to have the first century 1 year shorter imo.
And there is really no reason for that last sentence.

[Superpower]

Actually there's a huge debate and many are divided over this. Some say 2000-2099 and the rest say 2001-2100
There are many articles about this, if you feel like reading...
