George Strait breaks US Concert Attendance Record

George Strait breaks US Concert Attendance Record

George Strait, the “King of Country Music,” is now the “King of Concerts.”

Country singer George Strait just smashed another record in his chart-topping musical career. On Saturday, June 15th, the Texas native played the largest ticketed concert in U.S. history before a crowd of 110,905 fans, according to Billboard. The performance at Texas A&M’s Kyle Field in College Station beat out the previous record held by the band Grateful Dead, which performed infront of 107,019 attendees during a 1977 show at Raceway Park in Englishtown, New Jersey. Though Strait nabbed the record for the largest ticketed musical performance, there have been bigger crowds at some music festivals and free concerts held in the U.S., such as the 1986 performance by the New York Philharmonic in Central Park that drew an estimated 800,000 people.

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. 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.”

From the official website:

The Gin Blossoms have undoubtedly left their mark on the Rock music map. The Grammy nominated band’s fusion of Melodic Rock, Pop, Folk and Country elements has helped pave the way for the modern Rock of today.

Fans around the world are very familiar with Gin Blossoms’ five-time Platinum breakthrough album New Miserable Experience, containing gems like “Until I Fall Away,” “Found Out About You,” “Hey Jealousy” and “Allison Road.” Those hit tracks were followed up by the Empire Records Platinum Soundtrack hit, “Til I Hear It From You.” In 1996, the singles “Follow you Down” and “As Long As It Matters,” hit the radio again in a huge way, making their Congratulations I’m Sorry record another platinum success. Their latest release, 2018’s Mixed Reality, shares that same timeless feel, packed with 15 songs.

Gin Blossoms hits have crossed over in five different formats, taking the airwaves by siege, and held the MTV playlist captive for most of the 90s. Boasting record sales of over 10 million, the band continues to burn up the road performing over 100 tour dates per year. Don’t miss all these great hit songs, a sampling of new music, and a rockin’ the house down show!

(Wikipedia) Starting as a performer under the name of Gerry Dorsey in the late 1950s, he later adopted the name of the German composer Engelbert Humperdinck as a stage name and found success after he partnered with manager Gordon Mills in 1965. His recordings of the ballads “Release Me” and “The Last Waltz” both topped the UK Singles Chart in 1967, selling more than a million copies each.  Humperdinck scored further major hits in rapid succession, including “There Goes My Everything” (1967), “Am I That Easy to Forget” (1968) and “A Man Without Love” (1968). In the process, he attained a large following, with some of his most devoted fans calling themselves “Humperdinckers”. Three of his singles were among the best-selling of the 1960s in the United Kingdom.
