1/11/2008 Stephen L. Betts George Strait's 22 More Hits compilation has been certified gold for sales in excess of 500,000 units. It marks the 36th RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) certified album in George’s 26-year-career, and follows the blockbuster compilation 50 Number Ones. “I've had people ask me why this song or that song wasn't on the Number Ones album,” says George. “If it's their favorite song, I guess they don't care if it was No. 1 on a chart. This album gave me the chance to include some of the fans other favorites and mine.” George Strait launched his 2008 tour last night (1/10) in Austin, Texas.
