The names printed in the biggest type, trusted to send everyone home.

  1. 1Zach Top7The 90s-country revival in one pompadour, with pure Keith Whitley-school neotraditionalism that made retro the hottest sound in Nashville.
  2. 2Jelly Roll6Nashville's redemption story: rap-sheet honesty turned into tent-revival country-rock that fills stadiums with people who needed the message.
  3. 3Riley Green6Small-town Alabama traditionalist (hunting-camp country with a college-quarterback charm).
  4. 4Ashley McBryde5Arkansas-raised songwriter with a bar-band rasp and a storyteller's eye for small-town detail; 'Girl Goin' Nowhere' made the case and the awards followed.
  5. 5Gavin Adcock4Rowdy Georgia country with tailgate anthems delivered with a linebacker's energy and zero polish on purpose.
  6. 6Jason Aldean4Rock-heavy country radio staple with big guitars and small towns, and one of the format's most reliable arena draws.
  7. 7Megan Moroney4Emo cowgirl with Georgia songwriting that comes with a wink, and the fastest-rising female star in country radio.
  8. 8Brooks & Dunn3The best-selling duo in country history, whose 'Neon Moon' and 'Boot Scootin' Boogie' still run every honky-tonk floor in America.
  9. 9Jon Pardi3A neotraditional holdout in a pop-country era, with fiddle and steel up front and the honky-tonk shuffle intact.
  10. 10Lainey Wilson3Bell-bottoms, Louisiana drawl and a run of CMA hardware make her the hardest-working woman in mainstream country right now, with the catalog to back the swagger.

Most places played

Whose year reads like a world tour that happened to be made of festivals.

  1. 1Carter Faith10Dreamy neo-traditional country from a fast-rising Nashville transplant, with twang and a soft-focus, retro glow.
  2. 2Waylon Wyatt9Teenage Arkansas country prodigy with porch-honest writing in the Zach Bryan lineage, wise beyond the birth certificate.
  3. 3Zach Top8The 90s-country revival in one pompadour, with pure Keith Whitley-school neotraditionalism that made retro the hottest sound in Nashville.
  4. 4Blake Whiten7South Carolina songwriter with a rough, low voice and heavy-hearted lyrics; 'Rollin' Stone' carried him from bedroom videos to a major-label debut.
  5. 5Jessie Murph7A rasp built for heartbreak, dragging country songwriting through trap drums and open-wound honesty, with genre lines treated as suggestions.
  6. 6Laci Kaye Booth7Texas country with a dreamy, smoke-curled vocal, and she took the long way round to a debut record.
  7. 7Cameron Whitcomb6Backflipping former pipefitter with a howl, delivering raw-nerve folk-country redemption songs with gymnastic stage energy and zero polish where it counts.
  8. 8Dasha6'Austin' turned a Cal Poly pop writer into country's viral line-dance story, with TikTok twang and real hooks.
  9. 9Gavin Adcock6Rowdy Georgia country with tailgate anthems delivered with a linebacker's energy and zero polish on purpose.
  10. 10Jon Pardi6A neotraditional holdout in a pop-country era, with fiddle and steel up front and the honky-tonk shuffle intact.

Most favorited by readers

The Country artists people here actually listen to, booked or not.

  1. 1MJ LendermanAsheville guitarist whose deadpan, Crazy Horse-leaning songs about wasted afternoons made Manning Fireworks one of 2024's most loved rock records.
  2. 2Zach BryanOklahoman who wrote and self-released his early records while serving in the Navy, and kept the ragged, one-take feel after the arenas arrived.
  3. 3Chris StapletonA songwriter's songwriter with a howl that turns Nashville craft into something closer to Muscle Shoals soul. 'Tennessee Whiskey' is just the entry point of a stacked catalog.
  4. 4FustDurham, North Carolina band led by songwriter Aaron Dowdy, playing ragged, literate Southern country-rock rooted in small-town detail.
  5. 5Johnny CashThe Man in Black, from Sun Records boom-chicka-boom to At Folsom Prison and the stark late American Recordings with Rick Rubin. A baritone built for outlaws and hymns alike.
  6. 6Kacey MusgravesDeceptively gentle country that smuggles in sharp jokes and sharper edges under the pedal steel, with 'Golden Hour' grace and a Texas smirk.
  7. 7Tyler ChildersEastern Kentucky songwriting with fiddle front and centre: plainspoken, regional, and completely uncompromised, honky-tonks to arenas without changing a thing.

Most saved to a plan

The Country artists people are building a Saturday around.

  1. 1Thomas DollbaumNew Orleans songwriter of bruised, literary alt-country, with gulf-coast grit and quiet devastation in the Berman lineage.
  2. 2Jessie MurphA rasp built for heartbreak, dragging country songwriting through trap drums and open-wound honesty, with genre lines treated as suggestions.
  3. 3Chris StapletonA songwriter's songwriter with a howl that turns Nashville craft into something closer to Muscle Shoals soul. 'Tennessee Whiskey' is just the entry point of a stacked catalog.
  4. 4Waylon WyattTeenage Arkansas country prodigy with porch-honest writing in the Zach Bryan lineage, wise beyond the birth certificate.
  5. 5BabasEx-Kominas collaborators Sunny Ali and Karna Ray splicing punk's playful cynicism with country's earnest simplicity: deadpan cowpunk with real bite under the twang.
  6. 6Cameron WhitcombBackflipping former pipefitter with a howl, delivering raw-nerve folk-country redemption songs with gymnastic stage energy and zero polish where it counts.
  7. 7Charley CrockettHonky-tonk and Gulf Coast blues delivered by a genuine road-worn troubadour with a hat and a story to match, and an album-a-year work rate straight from the old school.
  8. 8CrackerSardonic alt-country-rock from David Lowery, still funnier and stranger than its radio singles let on: 'Low' the gateway, the deep cuts the reward.
  9. 9Jon PardiA neotraditional holdout in a pop-country era, with fiddle and steel up front and the honky-tonk shuffle intact.
  10. 10Kacey MusgravesDeceptively gentle country that smuggles in sharp jokes and sharper edges under the pedal steel, with 'Golden Hour' grace and a Texas smirk.
