Lists are starting to come in from music services touting who the top country artists and what the top country songs of 2020 were. Many of the names on the list are new artists that quickly made their mark during a year where touring became obsolete and fans relied on social media performances to catch up with their favorite artists. Morgan Wallen had a great year showing up on top of a couple of those lists, He was a favorite male artist, second only to Luke Combs, and his song “Chasin’ You” was the most played song at Country radio followed closely by Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani’s “Nobody But You” and Sam Hunt’s “Kinfolks”. Rounding out the favorite male artists list were Kane Brown, Jason Aldean, and Sam Hunt. Maren Morris ranked first for female artists followed closely by newcomer Gabby Barrett, Miranda Lambert, Kelsea Ballerini, and Carrie Underwood. In the Duo or Group category it’s no surprise that the list was dominated by Dan & Shay but Old Dominion, Florida Georgia Line, Maddie & Tae and Lady A made their mark as well. All in all a great year for country music.
