In traditional Western music notation, the fifth line is at the top of the staff. The staff consists of five lines and four spaces, with the lines representing pitches. The bottom line is typically the first line from the bottom, and the top line is the fifth line from the bottom.

The lines and spaces on a staff are numbered from the bottom to the top. So the 5th line would be the top line.
