context_page_description: Top Country Albums is a chart that ranks the top-performing country music albums in the United States, published by Billboard. In 2001, 13 different albums topped the chart, based on electronic point of sale data provided by SoundScan Inc.
  In the issue of Billboard dated January 6, Tim McGraw was at number one with his album Greatest Hits, its fifth week in the top spot. It spent the first five weeks of 2001 atop the listing before being displaced by the soundtrack album of the film Coyote Ugly. McGraw returned to the top spot in May with Set This Circus Down and was the only act with two number ones during the year. Two other greatest hits albums reached number one in 2001. In October, Martina McBride reached number one with her album simply entitled Greatest Hits; it was her first album to top the chart. The following month, Reba McEntire, one of the most successful female singers in country music history, reached the peak position with her third such release, Greatest Hits Volume III: I'm a Survivor.
