Country Acts Represent Well on Artist 100 Chart

You’ve seen the top songs of the week in country music, but who are the hot artists? We look to the Artist 100 chart from Billboard to give us that answer. This week the top ranking country artist on the chart is Sam Hunt. With “Body Like a Back Road” dominating charts and radio play everywhere this should come as no surprise. He sits at number 11 on this one.

At number 42 we see Keith Urban on the chart with Chris Stapleton (34), Luke Combs (44), Brett Young (46), Florida Georgia Line (51), Jon Pardi (54), Travis Scott (56) and Blake Shelton (58) all be inside the top 60.

This week’s number one artist is a hip-hop artist, Jay Z. He recently released a new album that everyone is loving, so beating him this week was near impossible.
