50 Number Ones
Encyclopedia
50 Number Ones is a compilation album, released in 2004, by American country music
singer George Strait
. It is a compilation of his first 50 Number One country music singles, starting with 1981's "Fool Hearted Memory
" and presented in chronological order. A new track, "I Hate Everything
", was also included, and became his 51st overall Number One in 2004. The figure of 50 Number Ones relies not just on songs that have reached the top of the Billboard
Hot Country Songs
charts, but also of those which topped the Radio & Records
and Gavin Report
charts. The album has been certified 7× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.
Many of the songs have been edited from their album versions in order to fit all the songs on two discs. Many of these cuts were unnecessary, however; with each disc fitting eighty minutes of music on them, 5:01 left with the edited forms and 6:50 of edits made, only 1:49 of cuts actually needed to be made and therefore the only alterations that were necessary were alterations to the songs' export settings.
