George Strait

George Strait holds the all-time record for the most number-one country singles, with 60 chart-toppers since 1981—outpacing #4 Garth Brooks by 15 hits. His traditional honky-tonk sound defied the urban cowboy trend and anchored the neo-traditionalist movement, selling over 70 million albums. That tally also surpasses the typical career output of most peers by more than 20 million units.
