Canada Country was a chart published weekly by Billboard magazine. [1]
This 50-position chart lists the most popular country music songs, calculated weekly by airplay on 31 country music stations across the country as monitored by Nielsen BDS. [2] Songs are ranked by total plays. As with most other Billboard charts, the Canada Country chart features a rule for when a song enters recurrent rotation. A song is declared recurrent if it has been on the chart longer than 30 weeks and is lower than number 20 in rank. [3]
These are the Canadian number-one country singles of 2011, per the BDS Canada Country Airplay chart.
Note that Billboard publishes charts with an issue date approximately 7–10 days in advance.
