Top 100 Songs and 25 Most Played Artists of 2019

Karen Peck & New River take the #1 Song of the Year for a third consecutive year. Even though the song only spent three weeks in the #1 spot over the course of the year, “The River”‘s impressive 37 week run on the chart was enough to take the crown this year as well (that’s 12 weeks longer than the #2 song of the year “Even Me”‘s impressive 25 week run). The chart saw a total of 12 songs reach the #1 spot by 10 different artists. Only two artists shot multiple songs to the top spot – Triumphant Quartet (“Even Me” and “Going There”) and Gold City (“All My Hope” and “Alabama Mud”).
