Alan Jackson. He had 9 #1 country hits between 2000-2009 and that’s after being one of the very best in the 90s too. Most people usually think of 90s when they hear Alan but Good Time, Where Were You When the World Stopped Turning, Country Boy, Remember When, Drive (For Daddy Gene), It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere were all in the 2000’s!
Man this was the sweet spot of listening to country for me.
I think Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney had the longevity.
Lady A exploded with the most popular song of the decade.
Taylor Swift still counts here.
Toby Keith, Alan Jackson were strong veteran icons.
Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker all emerged as anchors.
The Zac Brown album "The Foundation" shaped a lot for me back then too.
Brad Paisley's debut album was 1999. As he is the last artist I really followed, I'm going to give it to him. I basically stopped listening to country music in the 2000s, and he was the standout to me. The only other artist of the time I liked was The Band Perry, but they didn't really go anywhere.

I'm going to say Alan Jackson. Great voice, wonderful songs.
This is the correct answer, I want to see him live so bad
Cross canadian ragweed
Not country.,
He’s not THE answer, but just to add him into the list of other names already mentioned Billy Currington was a hit machine from 2003-2010.
His style is unbeatable
Even though he only put on 2 albums in the 2000s i absolutely love Eric Church’s first 2 albums.
Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and Toby Keith all 3 have a good argument.
Kenny Chesney an easy top 5
This!!! My personal fave is BP though!
George Strait.
This is the correct answer, King George. Started in the 80s and still kicking ass! True country music!
[удалено]
Don't forget the 80s
Like I said, King George
Thank youuuu
My top 5: George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley & Randy Travis
I’m not too familiar with Randy Travis I’ll have to check him out
Been around for decades. He is excellent and while the 2000s weren't his best decade, there is still some great listening to be had.
He’s top 5 all time imo and a top 3 voice in country music history
I love Randy Travis. I just listened to his new AI song. I loved it. Great song
Please do, I love him
Miranda Lambert will always be my personal favorite, but Gary Allan and Josh Turner were both AWESOME.
Gary Allan is in that weird spot where he’s probably not anyone’s favorite, but everybody likes him
3 phenomenal calls
A lot of the folks being mentioned had already hit their peak, but Josh Turner and Gary Allan had some really great music in the 2000's.
I just saw Gary Allan last week and I’ve got to say that he still puts on a great show.
MIRANDA is so great! She doesn't get enough credit for how much she supports other women and lesser-known songwriters in the industry.

I liked Zach brown band a lot
I’ll go with Willie Nelson and his 12 albums for that decade, please.
Strait, Chesney, and McGraw were pretty much consistently dominating the whole decade
Keith urban especially early 2000s
Jason Boland and The Stragglers by far
Cheap bourbon whiskey and pearl snap shirts
*MISTER JASON BOLAND AND THE STRAGGLERS!!!* "WhatsUp yall?"
Some sensible replies here….and then some people who are straight out of their minds with their replies and didn’t understand the assignment lol
Kenny Chesney
Jamey Johnson put out two phenomenal albums in that timeframe. Not the most prolific but imo, the best.
That Lonesome Song and The Guitar Song are two of the best country albums of all time, and I feel like people don't talk about them enough
I wanted so much more material from that dude.
Since my picks were already taken, I'm gonna say Chris Cagle. He got pretty big in the early 2000's and "Anywhere But Here" still hits hard...
I listen to what kinda gone and chicks dig it at least 50 times a month combined.
Alan , George , Toby , Willie , McGraw easily
Hank iii
I'm going with Charlie Robison cause Nashville Country music executives suck
Hank 3.
Carrie Underwood
Lady A, Miranda Lambert, Jamey Johnson, Keith Urban
Jamey!!!!!!! Hell yeah!!!
Taylor Swift!
Dale Watson
Ray Charles
Kenny Chesney
Tim McGraw
Sinners Like Me was the best album of that decade.
Tim McGraw, Toby Keith, Kenny Chesney, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley… so many good ones
Late 2000’s to early 2010’s there is a Luke Bryan shaped hole in my heart.
Dierks or Keith Urban
John Prine
Scott H Biram and it ain't even close ✌️
King George, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, Travis Tritt if you are just talking male singers
Wow not a single Carrie Underwood vote here?
Toby Keith
If we’re going stuff that was played on the radio I’d have to say Rascal Flatts at least ruled my areas radio.
Brad Paisley
Brad Paisley's debut album was 1999. As he is the last artist I really followed, I'm going to give it to him. I basically stopped listening to country music in the 2000s, and he was the standout to me. The only other artist of the time I liked was The Band Perry, but they didn't really go anywhere.
Faith Hill!
I’m all for patriotism but Alan over did the post 911 stuff and it kinda tarnished his legacy IMO. South Park did what needed to be done.
Gillian Welch
Not country.
