Canada Country was a chart that was published weekly by Radio & Records magazine. The chart was published from January 7, 2005, to December 23, 2005, for the year. This 30-position chart listed the most popular country music songs, calculated weekly by airplay from 21 Canadian stations as monitored by Mediabase Research. Like most music charts, the Canada Country Top 30 had a rule when songs entered recurrent rotation. A song entered recurrent if it had been on the chart for 20 weeks or more and is ranked below number 15. This was the country music chart Canada had before Billboard magazine started their version of Canada Country in July 2006.
These are the Canadian number-one country songs of 2005, per the R&R Canada Country Top 30. No issue was published the week of December 30.
