Zach Bryan’s self-titled album is still on top of its game, leading the top Americana/Folk Albums for December 2023. The 16-track country-rock album continues to see a mixture of emotions from his fanbase. Five more albums by the Oklahoma-raised singer-songwriter are also on this list.

Meanwhile, Noah Kahan’s Stick Season sits in the second spot. The folk album impressively debuted at No. 14 on the Billboard 200 in late 2022 – and has now peaked at No. 2. Its title track, on the other hand, has spent several weeks on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart, where it climbed to No. 4. Ever since the album came out, the singer-songwriter’s momentum has truly become unstoppable. 

Top Folk Albums: November 2023 | October 2023 | September 2023 | August 2023 | July 2023 | June 2023 | May 2023 | April 2023 | March 2023 | February 2023 |

There are also new albums on this list, such as The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, which made it to the Top 5. This is the official soundtrack to the eagerly awaited latest installment in The Hunger Games series. It features “Bury Me Beneath the Willow” by Molly Tuttle and “Cabin Song” by Billy Strings.
