List of number-one country singles of 2004 (Canada) explained

Canada Country was a chart that was published weekly by Radio & Records magazine. It was first published on April 16, 2004, when Radio & Records introduced five airplay charts for the Canadian market, country being one of them. It was the first record chart Canadians had for country music since RPM ceased publication in November 2000. This 30-position chart listed the most popular country music songs, calculated weekly by airplay from 21 Canadian stations as monitored by Mediabase Research.[1] It finished for the year on December 17. 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.[2] This was the country music chart Canada had before Billboard magazine started their version of Canada Country in July 2006.

Seven artists topped the chart this year. Technically, the first number one hit of the year was "When the Sun Goes Down" by Kenny Chesney and Uncle Kracker, but this is due to the chart only beginning publishing on April 16. Chesney would score another number one hit with "I Go Back". The only other artist to score multiple number one hits this year was Tim McGraw, with "Live Like You Were Dying" and "Back When". Keith Urban, Lonestar, and Gretchen Wilson also each scored a multiple-week number one single. LeAnn Rimes would achieve the final number one hit of the year with "Nothin' 'bout Love Makes Sense", which was her first number one single in Canada since "Blue" spent a single week at number one back in 1996. Despite not topping the weekly chart, Canadian artist Terri Clark had the number-one year-end song with "Girls Lie Too".

These are the Canadian number-one country songs of 2004, per the R&R Canada Country Top 30. Note that no issues were published on December 17 and December 24.
