Congrats to George Strait as he finds himself “Wrapped” around the top of the country charts with his 55th Number One. Wrapped is also the third single to hit number one from his latest studio album, It Just Comes Natural.
The album’s first single, Give It Away, went to the top of the country singles chart in just 13 weeks, making it the fastest rising single of Strait’s career. The song also recently received two Academy of Country Music Awards for Song of the Year and Single Record of the Year. The album’s title track It Just Comes Natural also reached number one on the charts. Though Strait already held the record for solo number one singles, his 55th notch ties Conway Twitty’s record, which includes his number one duets with Loretta Lynn.
Since his debut in 1981, this Texas troubadour has indeed been doing what comes naturally, putting together a string of hits that has earned him legions of fans and the respect of even the toughest critics. And while no one could blame him for packing it in after armfuls of awards, more number one songs than another other single artist in history, Strait continues to deliver the goods in record-breaking fashion.
