May 22, 2024
Breaking records has been a standard for the King of Country Music, but he is on track to break yet another. George Strait, known as the King of Country Music, has continuously set and broke records through his entire career. He is now looking to break another record. Read More
Strait already has the most #1 singles in country music history with 60. That’s not just singles, that is number one singles. He also had a top 10 hit every single year for thirty years. In his historic career he has amassed more than 60 major entertainment industry awards. Fitting, in 2006 he was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
It doesn’t seem possible, but nearly twelve years ago, in 2012, the icon announced his retirement from touring. After selling more than 100 million records worldwide, he was slowing down. Despite retiring from touring, the “Check Yes or No” singer continues to break records. His fans are having no trouble deciding whether to “Check Yes or No” when it comes to his June 15 concert at Kyle Field in College Station, Texas.
Announced on March 19, fans flocked to buy tickets. In fact, more than 100,000 tickets have already been sold. That makes this concert on track to break Strait’s already set all-time attendance record of 104,793 that he recorded in 2014 at AT & T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Kyle Field is one of the largest capacity stadiums in college football, which will make breaking his own record quite achievable. The concert being dubbed as ‘The King at Kyle Field’ will be arranged so that the entire stage can be surrounded by fans.
With 33 Platinum and Multi-platinum albums, Strait won’t have any trouble filling the stadium with sing along songs for his adoring fans. Apparently, the Cowboy hasn’t Ridden Away quite yet. When the King announces a concert, his fans come alive. We may not be seeing him grace the stages of the awards shows, but without a question, his music is known and loved by droves.
