01. Sara Evans 02. Kellie Pickler 03. Miranda Lambert 04. Dolly Parton 05. Carrie Underwood 06. Deana Carter 07. Jo Dee Messina 08. Lee Ann Womack 09. Reba McEntire 10. Terri Clark These are currently my Top 10 most-played solo females according to my Last.fm, but only the Top 4 positions are definitive, the rest are subject to fluctuate. Honorable mentions to Martina McBride, Taylor Swift, Ashton Shepherd, Sunny Sweeney, Jewel, and Gretchen Wilson who'd all be pretty close. Not really sure where to put newer artists in yet because they have less material to go off of, so I'll just make a separate little list for the newer ones.  01. Maggie Rose 02. Ashley Monroe 03. Kacey Musgraves 04. Jana Kramer 05. Kelsea Ballerini |

Rebecca Lynn Howard (country radio can shove it) 6. Faith Hill 7. Carrie Underwood 8. Jamie O'Neal 9. Shelly Fairchild (see #5) 10. Lauren Alaina (love, love, love her voice) Honorable Mentions: Jo Dee Messina Trisha Yearwood Ashley Monroe Kacey Musgraves Terri Clark Mickey Guyton is still really young into her career (one single), but she could crack my top 10 in due time. |

Lee Ann Womack And a few that it was difficult for me to keep off my list: Suzy Bogguss, Chely Wright, Amie Comeaux, Kristen Kelly, Pam Tillis First off I think I love you! Ruby Lovett, Helen Darling, & Amie Comeaux! Honestly thought I was the only one on the board who knew who they were!
Ok let's see I'm going all time and I'm clarifying that I'm going by who's songs I like best collectively, not necessarily who I think is the best or the list would be different. My list is going to skew heavily for the 90's for two reasons. 1 I grew up hearing these artists the most and the older artists tended to have been gone by the time I started listening. and 2) after 2005 there's not many females who got a lot of material released. :( Oh and I didn't include groups so sorry to SHeDAISY, Heidi Newfield, Amanda Wilkinson, Dixie Chicks and others! Terri Clark Lee Ann Womack Sara Evans Lisa Brokop Patty Loveless Kasey Chambers Emmylou Harris Jessica Andrews Martina McBride Shania Twain Honorable Mentions Jamie O'Neal , Jo Dee Messina, Reba McEntire, Mary Chapin Carpenter , Pam Tillis , Ashley Monroe , Chely Wright , Wynonna Judd , Loretta Lynn , Trisha Yearwood , Catherine Britt , Miranda Lambert , Dolly Parton , Deana Carter, LeAnn Rimes |

I'm not familiar with a ton of country artists enough to justify making a Top 10 but these are among my all-time or soon-to-be-all-time favourites:
Dixie Chicks
Lori McKenna
Brandy Clark
Lindi Ortega
Beyond that, I have albums of and/or enjoy:
Shania Twain
Faith Hill
Mary Chapin Carpenter
Deana Carter
Emmylou Harris
Kacey Musgraves
I also love Lucinda Williams but she's probably more in the Americana genre than country.
And I love the sound of Dolly's voice but admittedly don't know much of her stuff. I'm rightfully embarrassed, but she is has always been and will always be for me The Voice of Christmas.
