Criteria: This list of the top 25 modern country artists was compiled by Taste of Country staff, who took into account hard data (chart charts, streaming numbers, ticket sales, etc…), perceived influence, awards and recognition, and (most importantly) recent releases. We zoomed in on who is shaping country music today with popular releases.

Artists who haven’t released an album or hit the airplay or streaming charts in the past three years need to show their influence in other ways. An example is Carrie Underwood, who hasn’t released a new album in four years, but is the most influential voice on America’s most popular singing reality show.
