  • honky-tonk Jimmy Bowen Tony Brown Blake Mevis George Strait 50 Number Ones is the sixth compilation album by American country music singer George Strait, released on October 5, 2004. It is a 2-CD compilation of his first 50 number-one country music singles, starting with 1982'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" includes not just songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart but also those that topped the Radio & Records and Gavin Report charts.

Some of the songs have been edited for red-book standard purposes to fit all the songs on the discs. It had a companion album called 22 More Hits released in 2007 that featured Strait's hits and fan-favorites that otherwise did not reach number-one any trade charts.

Commercial performance

The album was certified 7× Platinum by the RIAA on December 13, 2007 for 3.5 million copies shipped. It has sold 3,791,500 copies in the US as of April 2015, and 5,531,000 units including tracks and streams as of January 2020.
