List of Billboard number-one country songs of 2025

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay are charts that rank the top-performing country songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine. Hot Country Songs ranks songs based on digital downloads, streaming, and airplay from radio stations of all formats, a methodology introduced in 2012.[1] Country Airplay, which was first published in 2012, is based solely on country radio airplay, a methodology that had previously been used from 1990 to 2012 for Hot Country Songs.[1] In 2025, 7 different songs topped the Hot Country Songs chart and 21 different songs topped Country Airplay in 52 issues of the magazine.

Singer Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan topped the Hot Country Songs chart in March with "The Giver", her first release in the genre.

In the issue of Billboard dated January 4, Shaboozey was at number one on Hot Country Songs with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)", the song's 28th week in the top spot, and "High Road" by Koe Wetzel and Jessie Murph spent its second week atop Country Airplay, both songs retaining that position from the final issue of 2024.[2][3] Shaboozey's song held the top spot for the first 6 weeks of the year, taking its total run at number one to 33 weeks, before it was displaced by "I'm the Problem" by Morgan Wallen, who in the same week topped the Country Airplay listing with "Love Somebody". "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" returned to number one in the issue dated February 22, and a week later became the second-longest running Hot Country Songs number one of all time and the longest-running by a single artist.[4][5]

Several artists not traditionally associated with country music have gained their first chart-toppers in the genre during 2025. In the issue dated March 29, Chappell Roan, a singer primarily associated with pop music, achieved her first country number one when "The Giver", her first release in the genre, entered the Hot Country Songs chart at number one.[6] Three weeks later, the rapper BigXthaPlug achieved the same feat when "All the Way", a collaboration with the country singer Bailey Zimmerman, debuted atop the listing.[7] In the issue dated May 31, the pop singer Tate McRae gained her first country number one when she collaborated with Wallen on the track "What I Want".[8] In the issue dated October 4, the rock band Hootie & the Blowfish gained their first country number one as a featured act on Scotty McCreery's "Bottle Rockets".[9] The group's lead vocalist, Darius Rucker, who had achieved nine number-one singles as a solo artist up to this point, became the second artist to top the chart as both a solo artist and as a member of a duo or group.[a][9] "What I Want" was the year's longest-running number one on either chart with 20 weeks atop the Hot Country Songs listing. Wallen also had the longest-running Country Airplay chart-topper, having spent eight weeks in the peak position with "I'm the Problem", as well as the most number-one country songs, with five. Jelly Roll, Riley Green, and Ella Langley were the only other acts to achieve more than one country chart-topper during 2025, with two each.
