Women continue an unprecedented run on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, occupying all of the ranking’s top five positions for a record seventh consecutive week on the Aug. 1-dated list.

Below is a look at the chart history currently being made and factors that have led to unprecedented success for women in the genre.
