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" includes not just songs that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, but also of those that topped the Radio & Records and Gavin Report charts. The album has been certified 7 × Multi-Platinum by the RIAA.
Many of the songs were edited from their album versions to make all the songs fit on two discs. Many of these cuts were unnecessary, however. With a capacity of eighty minutes for each disc, 5:01 of which was left over, and 6:50 of edits made, only 1:49 of cuts were actually required. Therefore the only alterations necessary were to the songs' export settings.

Famous quotes containing the word number:
“I will not adopt that ungenerous and impolitic custom so common with novel writers, of degrading by their contemptuous censure the very performances, to the number of which they are themselves adding—joining with their greatest enemies in bestowing the harshest epithets on such works, and scarcely ever permitting them to be read by their own heroine, who, if she accidentally take up a novel, is sure to turn over its insipid leaves with disgust.”
—Jane Austen (1775–1817)
