TOP 50 COUNTRY
STREAMS YTD

In Music City, 2023 will be fondly remembered as the inflection point for streaming. No fewer than 41 tracks have been streamed north of 100m times, and Morgan Wallen has 17 of them, including half of the Top 10. Zach Bryan, Bailey Zimmerman and Luke Combs (with two entries) also made the leader board. Lainey Wilson is the top-ranking female artist, at #13. She makes a second appearance on HARDY’s “wait in the truck.” Megan Moroney, distressingly, is the only other woman in the Top 50 apart from pop singer Julia Michaels, who only made the cut thanks to the appearance of Wallen on her Diplo pairing “Heartless."
