Craig Morgan's song " That's What I Love About Sunday" was named the number-one country song of 2005 by Billboard;it remains his only number one hit as of May 2022.

Hot Country Songs is a chart that ranks the top-performing country music songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine. In 2005, twenty different songs topped the chart, published under the title Hot Country Singles & Tracks through the April 23 issue, in 52 issues of the magazine, based on weekly airplay data from country music radio stations compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. [1]

Singer Blake Shelton's song " Some Beach" was at number one at the start of the year, having risen to the top in the issue of Billboard dated December 25, 2004. [2] The song remained at number one for three further weeks until it was replaced at the top by " Awful, Beautiful Life" by Darryl Worley in the issue dated January 22. Australian singer Keith Urban spent the most weeks at number one in 2005, with eleven, comprising five weeks with " Making Memories of Us" and six with " Better Life", the latter of which tied for the most weeks at number one by a single song with " As Good as I Once Was" by Toby Keith. Two other acts reached the top of the chart with more than one song in 2005. Brooks & Dunn topped the chart with " It's Getting Better All the Time" in May and " Play Something Country" in September, although each only spent one week at number one. Rascal Flatts, in contrast, spent eight weeks in total at number one with their two chart-toppers, " Bless the Broken Road" and " Fast Cars and Freedom".

Although it did not spend as long at the top as Urban's and Keith's songs, the song that was ranked number one on Billboard's year-end chart of the most popular country songs was " That's What I Love About Sunday" by Craig Morgan, [3] which spent four weeks at number one in March and April. Despite this success, it remains Morgan's only Hot Country Songs number one. [4] Two other artists reached the top of the chart for the first time in 2005. In March, Josh Gracin achieved his first number one with " Nothin' to Lose", [5] making him the first of a number of former American Idol finalists to achieve success on the country charts. [6] In the final week of the year, Billy Currington topped the chart for the first time with " Must Be Doin' Somethin' Right". [7]
