List of Top Country Albums number ones of 2013
Wikimedia list article
Top Country Albums is a chart that ranks the top-performing country music albums in the United States, published by Billboard. In 2013, 21 different albums topped the chart; placings were based on electronic point of sale data from retail outlets.
In the issue of Billboard dated January 5, Taylor Swift was at number one with Red, the album's ninth week at number one. The album spent eight weeks in the top spot in 2013, but would prove to be Swift's last entry on the Top Country Albums chart, as she moved away from the country music genre with her subsequent releases. With eight weeks atop the chart, Red tied with Here's to the Good Times, the debut album by Florida Georgia Line, for the most time spent at number one in 2013 by an album. Luke Bryan, the only artist with more than one number one in 2013, had the highest total number of weeks at number one by an artist during the year: he spent two weeks in the peak position with Spring Break…Here to Party and seven with Crash My Party. Both Bryan and Florida Georgia Line were associated with the so-called bro-country style, an emerging sub-genre which incorporated influences from rock music and hip hop and often featured lyrics relating to partying, attractive young women, and pick-up trucks.
In addition to Florida Georgia Line, several other acts reached number one for the first time in 2013. In April, Kacey Musgraves and The Band Perry both gained their first chart-toppers with Same Trailer Different Park and Pioneer respectively, and Hunter Hayes achieved the same feat in July with his eponymous album. Hayes's album reached the top spot in its 89th week on the chart, the longest time taken for an album to reach number one since Billboard began using electronic sales data in 1991.

Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as wikimedia list article. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Oct 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1963854. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2013 and 1991.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
