They include four chart toppers from the 1980s, which I don't have in my top ten: A Fire I Can't Put Out, You Look So Good In Love, Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind, and Right Or Wrong. All excellent songs, but had the BDS Era started in 1980 instead of 1990, I'm sure those would have made my top ten list. I will definitely see if I can add more artists to my thread. Thank you for providing the link. I'll definitely investigate George Strait later this week (with others, of course).

Thank you for providing the link. I'll definitely investigate George Strait later this week (with others, of course). I noticed if you pick an artist like George that has had hits in the BDS era or before you have to select hot country songs chart to see all their hits. When I picked Country Airplay for George it only showed me his hits during the BDS era. No songs before the 80’s were listed. This is actually going to help me out as far as how many top 10’s an artist has in the BDS era. I currently use my playlist on iTunes of every top 10 and a notebook that I hand write them all down in (which helps me if I somehow lose a song by accidentally deleting it). I have them all numbered and in order.

So Kenny Chesney will only be the 6th artist in country music history with 30 #1's if "Get Along" reaches #1 (which it will I think). He will be 50 years old if he tops the chart for the 30th time. Will he be the oldest to achieve 30 #1's?

Will he be the oldest to achieve 30 #1's? Here is how the top six look like. Artist-30th #1-Year-Age. Ready? 1. George Strait-Carried Away-1996-44 2. Conway Twitty-Rest Your Love On Me-1981-almost 46 3. Merle Haggard-Going Where The Lonely Go-1983-almost 46 4. Ronnie Milsap-How Do I Turn You On-1987-44 5. Alabama-Down Home-1991-almost 42 for Randy Owen and Jeff Cook, the older members of Alabama Might as well: 6. Kenny Chesney-Get Along-2018-50

This may sound like a stupid question but how many famous actors/actresses have had #1 country singles? Two come to mind for me, that being Clint Eastwood and John Schneider.

I assume you’re talking about artists who are known more for acting than singing. I can’t think of any others in country music, but I can in pop. Lorne Greene (Ringo), David Soul (Don’t Give Up On Us), and John Travolta (You’re the One That I Want, with Olivia Newton-John) have all topped the pop chart.
If you think in terms of singers who have also acted then Elvis Presley, Willie Nelson, Kenny Rogers, Dolly Parton, and John Denver come to mind.

Actually I thought of one more. Lisa Hartman Black had a #1 duet with husband Clint Black (When I Said I Do in 1999).

I have upped Jason Aldean's #1s totals to nineteen with Drowns The Whiskey. At this point in time, I wish I could put Miranda Lambert's name on the list, but she has no solo lines in the song, so I am not crediting her part of the song. Even someone else made that observation: Heard this on the radio the other day. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought to be credited as a featured artist at radio, you had to have a solo line? I thought this was why Eric Church re-recorded "to kill a word". I didn't notice any solo lines by Miranda.

I am curious to why Aldean or Broken Bow didn't give Miranda at least one solo line in "Drowns The Whiskey". I also am curious why Miranda would put her name on a song with basically no credit. Miranda certainly doesn't need Aldean's exposure, a bit strange.
