List of number-one country singles of 2005 (Canada)

Last updated

Canada Country was a chart that was published weekly by Radio & Records magazine. The chart was published from January 7, 2005, to December 23, 2005, for the year. This 30-position chart listed the most popular country music songs, calculated weekly by airplay from 21 Canadian stations as monitored by Mediabase Research. [1] Like most music charts, the Canada Country Top 30 had a rule when songs entered recurrent rotation. A song entered recurrent if it had been on the chart for 20 weeks or more and is ranked below number 15. [2] This was the country music chart Canada had before Billboard magazine started their version of Canada Country in July 2006.
