Welcome back to Country Music 4 Ever! The ACM Awards have chosen one artist from each decade since the 1960s to give their “Artist of The Decade” award to. So far, out of every country singer who ever existed, there have been six artists who have received this award. Those artists are Marty Robbins, Loretta Lynn, Alabama, Garth Brooks, George Strait, and Jason Aldean. All six of these artists have had very successful careers, which is why they were selected to receive this award. Since it will still be several more years until they announce a new “Artist of The Decade,” I am going to focus on the six artists who have already won this award.

Marty Robbins was the very first ACM “Artist of The Decade.” It must've been pretty cool for him to be the first person to ever win this award. Marty earned 17 number one songs throughout his career, and he also released 82 other top 40 singles.

Loretta Lynn was the “Artist of The Decade” in the 70s. She was the first and only woman to win this award. Loretta earned 16 number one songs throughout her career. Throughout her entire career, she released a total of 86 singles. Loretta is one of my all-time favorite singers, so I think they made a good decision when they picked her as the “Artist of The Decade” in the 70s.

Alabama was the “Artist of The Decade” in the 80s. They are the only band to ever win this award. Throughout their career, they charted 77 singles on the Hot Country Songs chart, 33 of which went to number one.

Garth Brooks was the “Artist of The Decade” in the 90s. He earned 19 number one songs on the Hot Country Songs chart. Nine of his albums have achieved diamond status, which means each of them have sold over 10,000,000 copies. That is pretty impressive.

George Strait was the “Artist of The Decade” in the 2000s. He has earned 60 number one songs, which is more than any other country singer ever. He has charted 126 singles throughout his career. They don't call him “The King” for nothing.

Jason Aldean was the “Artist of The Decade” in the 2010s. Jason has earned 24 number one songs on the Hot Country Songs chart. He has released 38 singles so far in his career.

It will be interesting to see who they choose at the end of this decade to be the “Artist of The Decade.” I guess we'll have to wait and see. You can tune into the ACM Awards tomorrow night on Amazon Prime Video at 8:00 ET. with a live red carpet one hour before the show.

Thanks for reading. I'll be back soon!
