George Strait, the 'king of country music,' is now also the 'king of concerts.' Strait broke the record for the largest U.S. ticketed show when he stepped onstage at Kyle Field at Texas A&M in College Station on Saturday. The 'Amarillo By Morning' singer played to a crowd of 110,905 fans in eastern Texas, breaking an all-time attendance record previously set by the Grateful Dead nearly 50 years ago.
Sen. Ted Cruz wrote, 'Took my daughter Caroline to see @GeorgeStrait at Kyle Field @TAMU tonight. Great fun. Spectacular concert.' Parker McCollum and Catie Offerman also joined the king at Kyle Field as special guests. He's no stranger to making and breaking records. Strait has the most No. 1 singles of any artist in any music genre, and he's the only artist to chart a top 10 hit every year for 30 years. In addition, Strait has achieved the most No. 1 albums in the history of country music, which includes 20 of his 60 No. 1 hits. His records don't stop there. He's sold more than 120 million records worldwide, earning the status as one of the bestselling music artists of all time.
Strait has 13 multiplatinum and 38 gold albums. His ‘92 'Pure Country' catalog went six times platinum, and his highest certified album is the ’95 classic 'Strait Out of the Box.'
