Billboard Top 20 Greatest Country Songs Of All Time

The Greatest of All-Time 60th Anniversary Billboard Country Songs rankings are based on weekly performance on the Hot 100
(from its inception on Aug. 4, 1958, through July 21, 2018).
Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods.
