The King Of Country George Strait Announces 2010 Tour With Special Guest Superstar Reba McEntire
The “King of Country” and 17-time Country Music Association “Entertainer of the Year” nominee George Strait will kick off his 2010 arena tour early next year and this time, he is bringing along a special lady – Reba McEntire. The two superstars are scheduled to perform together on the MGM Grand Garden Arena stage Saturday, Feb. 6 at 8 p.m.
With a career spanning more than 25 years, Strait has the most No. 1 singles (57) of any artist in history, including Elvis. He has sold more than 67 million records with 33 different platinum or multi-platinum albums, which also includes the most certifications in country music. In April, Strait was the fifth artist ever to receive the Academy of Country Music’s Artist of the Decade Award.
In 2008, Strait won the CMA’s Album of the Year Award for Troubadour as well as Single of the Year for “I Saw God Today.” These awards allowed Strait to surpass all other artists in earning the most CMA Awards in history. This year he received four additional nominations for “Entertainer of the Year,” “Male Vocalist of the Year,” “Video of the Year” for Troubadour and “Vocal Event of the Year” for “Everything but Quits” with LeeAnn Womack.
Strait continues his reign over country music with his latest album TWANG topping the charts. This is the fourth time in Strait’s career that a new release has debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and the 13th time debuting at No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart. He co-wrote three songs on the album including the debut single “Living for the Night.”
Reba McEntire is one of the most successful female recording artists in history. She has sold more than 55 million albums worldwide, earned 33 No. 1 singles and was recently recognized as the biggest female hit-maker in country music history by Billboard and Mediabase’s USA Today/Country Aircheck.
McEntire’s new album, Keep On Loving You, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 Albums Chart, her first solo studio album to earn such a position. She holds the record as the female artist with the most No. 1 albums in the history of the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and her new song, “Consider Me Gone,” jumped into both the Billboard Country Singles and USA Today/Country Aircheck Top 10 charts. This gave McEntire a third consecutive Top 10 single in 2009.
