Sam Hunt Continues to Lead the Way for Country Music

Sam Hunt may not have a top 10 song on the Mediabase chart for country music, but that doesn’t mean he can’t be a force on the Artist 100 chart from Billboard. They just released this one and there we see him at number 13 this week! Hunt has had a ton of crossover success with “Body Like a Back Road” and thus is part of the reason why we see him here. He’s the highest ranked country artist on this one followed by Thomas Rhett who sits at number 20.

Luke Combs is moving up the chart ever so slightly, moving from 30 to 28 this week while Luke Bryan’s move up is even bigger going from 56 to 40. From there we see a whole lot of country acts including Jon Pardi (49), Chris Stapleton (50), Old Dominion (51), Brett Young (56), Keith Urban (58), Dustin Lynch (59), Florida Georgia Line (60), Lady Antebellum (65), Midland (76), Eric Church (82), Kenny Chesney (87), Brothers Osborne (89), Maren Morris (94), Justin Moore (99) and Billy Currington (100).
