George Strait '50 #1’s' album

On October 5, 2004, MCA Records will release George Strait’s 50 Number Ones, the definitive anthology for one of country music’s most enduring artists.

George Strait has scored more #1’s than any other single artist in history and 50 Number Ones celebrates that remarkable and record breaking career.

From his first #1, “Fool Hearted Memory,” in 1982 to his 2002 smash, “She’ll Leave You With A Smile,” 50 Number Ones chronicles the career of a performer so respected and beloved, his fans know him simply as “King George.”

Strait’s influence on country music is undeniable. Since he began recording for MCA (the only label Strait has ever called home) in 1981, he has changed the tapestry of the industry with his unique blending of traditional and contemporary country music. Strait has a remarkable talent for remaining fresh and current while remaining true to his musical roots and honkytonk style and in doing so, he has forged one of the most successful careers in music history. His keen sense of song selection and his subtle yet poignant delivery has earned him praise from fans, critics and peers alike. Countless other recording artists including Garth Brooks, Clint Black, Tim McGraw, Kenny Chesney and Alan Jackson have named Strait as a direct influence on their music and their careers.

50 Number Ones will mark George Strait’s 32nd release. In his 23-year recording career, he has sold over 62 million albums, played to millions of fans and picked up armloads of industry awards including 2003’s Academy of Country Music “Gene Weed Award” recognizing his success. George Strait holds the Country Music Association’s all time record for most career nominations with a total of 71. He was the CMA “Vocalist of the Year” 5 times and the only artist in history to be so honored in two different decades.

Also included in the 50 Number Ones collection is the new hit single, “I Hate Everything,” a touching ballad about working through relationship troubles and appreciating life. It is sure to be the next classic cut from Strait and it is ascending the country charts now.
