According to Billboard, the Hot 100 chart "blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers."

The chart was created on Aug. 4, 1958. According to Quartz, in its 65-year history, since 1980 only seven country songs have topped the list at No. 1, including Dolly Parton's "9 to 5" and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

This year, country artists including Wallen made history by claiming the top three spots of the Hot 100 for the first time ever, with Luke Combs' "Fast Car" cover taking one of the spots.
