Country radio sure loved Blake Shelton this year. According to Mediabase’s year-end list, Blake was the most played artist on country radio, which, of course, means he tops the list of the most played male artist on country radio as well.
Blake dominated radio this year, for the most part, thanks to his two hit songs, “A Guy with a Girl,” and “Every Time I Hear That Song.”
Meanwhile, Maren Morris was the most played female artist on country radio, although it doesn’t sound like she got nearly as much play as any of the fellas. In fact, male artists were responsible for 66.2% of charted songs, while female artists only made up 15.7%.
