Billboard just released their list of the “100 Best Country Singers of All Time” this week, and it’s definitely getting some attention.
Now, it seems that the list is based on opinions of the staff, and not the actual chart history, which I would have assumed, since it’s Billboard, but hey, I don’t make the rules.
Here are the Top 10:
- Dolly Parton
- Johnny Cash
- Willie Nelson
- Loretta Lynn
- Hank Williams Sr.
- George Jones
- Garth Brooks
- Charley Pride
- George Strait
- Merle Haggard
Pretty solid Top 1o, right? I may have changed up the order a bit, but I can’t really argue those picks.
It’s the rest of the list that gets a bit crazy. And Jason Aldean’s wife Brittany is pissed that he’s not in the Top 100, which I feel like if Luke Bryan is, they Jason should be, too. Especially as he’s had a ton of #1 hits… but they put Maren Morris on there. The whole list out of the Top 10 makes no sense.
But again, it’s subjective, not objective.
