List of Billboard number-one country songs of 2023

 * Nominator(s): ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

Yes, it's that time of year again, when I nominate the outgoing year's list of US country number ones (yes, I realise there are still two and a half chart weeks of the year remaining, but you know you can trust me to add the correct info for those :-) ). This has been a really big year for country music in the mainstream, with no fewer than four country number ones also topping the all-genre Hot 100, including a song which debuted at number one on both listings by a guy with literally no prior chart history at all, which is pretty amazing...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 19:38, 8 December 2023 (UTC)

I'm getting pretty nitpicky with these, it's another really good list. RunningTiger123 (talk) 23:51, 8 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comments
 * I feel like the fact that "Last Night" was number 1 for twenty-five weeks and was the first country song from a male singer to top the Hot 100 in decades is buried; that kind of fact should probably come earlier (maybe as the caption for the lead image).
 * Done -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * "the year's longest unbroken run in the top spot of both charts, with 25 weeks at number one on Hot Country Songs" – implies all 25 weeks were consecutive, which isn't right
 * Dumb typo changed -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Jelly Roll should sort by "J", not "R"
 * It does and always has done........? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:24, 9 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Forgot that Jordan Davis sorts by "D", not "J". RunningTiger123 (talk) 02:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC)

 * In August, Oliver Anthony went straight in at number one -- could it be written as it debuted at number one?
 * The track was only the second duet by a -- the track became the second duet
 * Got nothing else to quibble. Another solid work. Pseud 14 (talk) 00:25, 11 December 2023 (UTC)

NØ

 * Image review - pass: All of the images seem to be appropriately licensed. A lot of really high quality original uploads here, lol. But a reverse image search did not produce any uploads on other sites that predate the upload to wiki so all is good.
 * Source review - pass: Billboard should be italicized in the titles of refs 1, 4, and 12. All sources cited are reliable and formatting is otherwise consistent.
 * "Hot Country Songs and Country Airplay are charts that rank the top-performing country music songs" - Would it be okay to just say "country songs" instead of "country music songs"?
 * I would suggest simplifying this bit: "Hot Country Songs ranks songs based on digital downloads, streaming, and airplay not only from country stations but from stations of all formats" as even just that would get the point across.
 * "In August, Oliver Anthony entered the Hot Country Songs listing at number one with "Rich Men North of Richmond" (credited to "Oliver Anthony Music")" - Is the credit relevant enough to note in parenthesis? It is very similar to his real name. Perhaps, this could be simplified as "In August, Oliver Anthony Music entered the Hot Country Songs listing at number one with "Rich Men North of Richmond"
 * "As of the issue dated December 23, Wallen has had the year's most country number ones, having had four songs top one or both charts." - This can probably be stated as a definite fact in past tense now since the one week left in the year is not enough for anyone else to overtake this achievement.
 * "and another song which was considered controversial, "Rich Men North of Richmond" - It might be helpful to mention it was considered controversial by critics, since it is best to have some attribution for claims like this.
 * That's it! Glad to see "I Remember Everything" performed so well on this chart.--NØ 22:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
 * - thanks for your review! All done bar the Oliver Anthony one.  I would prefer to keep it as it is, to make it 100% clear that his surname isn't "Music" (you say that "It is very similar to his real name" but people reading this article in isolation might not know that his "real" name (which isn't actually his real name) is Oliver Anthony -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 08:27, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

Hey man im josh
Great work as always Chris! Hey man im josh (talk) 14:29, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Refs 17, 19, and 20 are all to Rolling Stones, but only one has the subscription icon. I don't regularly use the website, so I don't know, but is there a reason for this?
 * Under see also, List of artists who reached number one on the U.S. Hot Country chart is a redirect, you should probably bypass that to List of artists who reached number one on the U.S. Hot Country chart
 * - thanks for the review, both points addressed! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 14:38, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Great stuff. Easy support as always :) Hey man im josh (talk) 14:39, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
