If there's already a thread like this then the mods can delete it. If not I'll do the winners from 2000 to 2019 tomorrow afternoon.

[CoJoFan]

Got 2000 to 2019 winners up!

[daddy]

This is cool thanks for compiling.

It’s so bizarre looking from 2009-2015 and not seeing Carrie Underwood’s name once!

It’s even crazier at the ACM Awards!! I think Miranda won from 2010-2018 (or maybe Taylor won in 2010 before Miranda’s streak started) and then Kacey won last year. So last time Carrie won Female was 2009!

It always astounded me how from 2010-2013, when Carrie embarked on huge tours, had huge commercial success & was the top female in her genre she still won 0. But when it comes down to it, it’s probably because of industry politics, because the stats speak for themselves and PO & BA deserved more recognition.

Oh it’s definitely all political. Still just looks bizarre to see the biggest star in country music being absent for so long regardless of her impact and consistent presence and success over the years.

CMA also recognized songs and albums that were not mainstream radio. Kacey Musgraves, Chris Stapleton,Johnny Cash's last album which was much more successful on Alternative charts and the movie soundtrack with George Clooney the lead actor. There were several songs that were very good that were never nominated or hit the top 40 like Rhett Akin's song "If Heaven Wasn't So Far Away." If that song got pushed in 2006 I think? Rhett would be number 1. That song I think was nominated when Justin Moore redid it. That song should have won awards. One of the best songs in recent years.
