No dates

  • No less than nine acts enjoyed their first No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart during 2006, the most since 1991. Those artists were Carrie Underwood, Josh Turner, Bon Jovi along with Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland, Jack Ingram, Jason Aldean, Rodney Atkins, The Wreckers, Heartland and Sugarland. Five of those - Bon Jovi, Nettles, Ingram, The Wreckers and Heartland - turn the trick with either their first charted country single release. (Although she previously had two Top 5 hits and a Top 10 hit with her group Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles released her first charted country single under her own name as part of a collaboration with Bon Jovi, which, in turn, released their first charted country single. Sugarland would eventually have their first No. 1 hit at the end of the year.)
During that same 12-month time span, chart veteran George Strait extended his No. 1 string to a Billboard-best 41, while Dolly Parton had her 25th No. 1 (as part of a duet with Brad Paisley) and Kenny Chesney extended his string to 10.
