Hot Country Songs is a chart that ranks the top-performing country music songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine. In 1961, 9 different singles topped the chart, then published under the title Hot C&W Sides, in 51 issues of the magazine, based on playlists submitted by country music radio stations and sales reports submitted by stores.[1]

Each of the nine number ones during the year was by a different solo vocalist. In the first issue of 1961, dated January 9,{{ref label|double|A|}} Johnny Horton reached number one with "North To Alaska", replacing Ferlin Husky's "Wings Of A Dove", which had held the top spot since the issue of Billboard dated November 14, 1960.[2] Horton's single remained at number one before Husky's song returned to the top of the chart for two further weeks. "North to Alaska" was a posthumous number one for Horton, who had died in an automobile accident the previous November.[3] Following Husky's spell in the top spot, Marty Robbins had the longest run at number one of the year, spending ten consecutive weeks atop the chart with "Don't Worry", after which Faron Young had a nine-week run with "Hello Walls", an early songwriting success for Willie Nelson, who would go on to be one of the must successful and celebrated singers in country music history.[4] Young would not top the chart again until 1972.[5]

The final number one of the year was "Walk On By" by Leroy Van Dyke. The song spent ten non-consecutive weeks at the top of the chart in 1961 and held the position for a further nine weeks in 1962 for a total of nineteen weeks at number one.[6] This figure set a record for the most weeks at number one since Billboard combined country music sales and airplay into a single chart in 1958 and would remain the record for more than 50 years until Florida Georgia Line spent 24 weeks at number one between December 2012 and August 2013 with the song "Cruise".[6] Despite its huge success, "Walk On By" was Van Dyke's first and only number one single.[7] One other act gained a debut country number one single in 1961: Patsy Cline spent two weeks at the top with "I Fall To Pieces", the first of two number ones she would achieve before her death in a plane crash in 1963.[8][9]
