George Strait, often referred to as the "King of Country," has easily one of the most accomplished careers in the history of country music, if not music in general. With an impressive 59 number one hits to date, Strait holds the artist record for the most number one singles in any musical genre. Neither Elvis (18 #1's) or the Beatles (20 #1's) even come close to touching Strait's lofty record. In his 32 year career, "King George" has sold more than 68.5 million records, including 13 multi-platinum and 33 platinum records.
This year, the three time Entertainer of the Year announced that he would be embarking on his last and final tour, a tour he aptly named after his hit "The Cowboy Rides Away." In honor of his two-year long farewell tour and inspiring record of 59 number one singles, fellow country artists and loyal "Strait fans" have banded together to ensure that Strait's newest hit single "Give it All We Got Tonight" becomes his 60th number one single before his 61st birthday on May 18th. Their social media campaign, entitled "Sixty for Sixty," is already making waves on many of the most popular social media platforms, making it one of the largest social media music promotion campaigns in music industry history. Check out the following "Sixty for Sixty" campaign video to hear what well-known artists Blake Shelton, Carrie Underwood and Dierks Bentley have to say about the iconic music legend.
In order to achieve their number one goal before May 18th, they need YOUR help to promote the single "Give it All We Got Tonight" on social media. Tweet using the #60for60 hashtag and your tweet alone could help George Strait gain his 60th number one single. Be a part of the social revolution that will help make music history and share the 60 for 60 logo (shown below) on Facebook and Instagram.
