In November 2016, I bought my first smartphone. I replaced it in May, 2018. I just started downloading albums and the first three are:
1. The Best Of Marie Osmond 2. The Best Of Eddy Raven 3. Number 1s And More-Conway Twitty
I see amazon.com has other country albums I am interested in (would have to rob a bank to get them). In any case, what country albums/songs do you have on your electronic devices?

I bought the album in 1988 for the other new song, I'm Gonna Get You.

I bought the album in 1988 for the other new song, I'm Gonna Get You. I like that one too as well as Bayou Boys, I Got Mexico and Sooner or Later but Joe is probably my favorite of all of his bigger hits. It took awhile to find, but I ranked Eddy Raven's chart toppers in June, 2011. Your favorite beat mine. Ready? 6. JOE IS THEIR BIGGEST HIT: Vern Gosdin and Eddy Raven have two things in common with their biggest hits. Tell me what they are. You know the drill, weeks at #1 are first followed by weeks in the top 40. V.G.: 1. Set 'Em Up Joe-1988-1-15 2. I Can Tell By The Way You Dance You're Gonna Love Me Tonight-1984-1-14 3. I'm Still Crazy-1989-1-14 4. Who You Gonna Blame It On This Time-1989-1-13 (#2) E.R.: 1. Joe Knows How To Live-1988-1-15 2. I'm Gonna Get You-1988-1-14 3. Bayou Boys-1989-1-14 4. In A Letter To You-1989-1-14 5. Shine, Shine, Shine-1987-1-13 6. I Got Mexico-1984-1-13

Just downloaded Exile: Super Hits from iTunes, only to realize its missing several of their number one hits! So there’s another artist who I’ll be missing some of their chart toppers!

I'm assuming that's the one on Epic Records because Exile has a Super Hits album on Arista as well (I have both). The problem with the Epic one is that it was supposed to pick up where Greatest Hits (1986) stopped. Their hits after the greatest hits album were: 1. It'll Be Me-1986-#1 2. She's Too Good To Be True-1987-#1 3. I Can't Get Close Enough-1988-#1 4. Just One Kiss-1988-#9 5. It's You Again-1988#21 Title #2 is mysteriously absent. Several album cuts make the album plus their only bomb at Epic, Feel Like Foolin' Around (#60 in 1988). They remade their big pop hit, Kiss You All Over (also on Greatest Hits).

That CD is missing It'll Be Me, She's Too Good To Be True, and I Can't Get Close Enough. Since the Sony/BMG merger, it's too bad you can't get Exile's Epic and Arista hits on one disc.

I think I’m gonna order it as well.

Downloaded Juice Newton's Greatest Hits (And More) then after downloading it realized it's missing the #1 hit, "You Make Me Want To Make You Mine". Looks like I'll be missing that #1 as well.

The album you downloaded covers Juice Newton's Capitol hits only. You Make Me Want To Make You Mine is on RCA Records. You can get her Capitol and RCA hits on her Anthology album on Renaissance Records.

onebuffalo Did you say you had Exile's 3 #1 hits from their Arista days? Specifically looking for the #1's their Greatest Hits doesn't have. If so what does the album cover look like? Also what is a good compilation album to get for T. Graham Brown and T.G. Sheppard? I'd like to get one for both that covers all their hits if possible. Thanks!

I will cover Exile in this post and tackle T. Graham Brown and T.G. Sheppard in the next post. Exile has two Super Hits albums, thanks to the Sony/BMG merger. One is on Epic (Sony) and the other is on Arista (BMG). The album art for both: Now, the track listing for both: Epic Version: 1. Take Me To The River 2. Woke Up In Love-1984-#1 3. It'll Be Me-1986-#1-chart wise, their biggest hit 4. Just One Kiss-1988-#9 5. I Can't Get Close Enough-1988-#1 6. I Got Love Super Love-1986-#14 7. Feel Like Foolin' Around-1988-#60 8. It's You Again-1988-#21 9. My Heart's In Good Hands 10. Kiss You All Over-rerecording of their 1978 #1 pop hit Arista Version: 1. Nobody's Talking-1990-#2 2. Keep It In The Middle Of The Road-1990-#17 3. Even Now-1991-#16 4. Yet-1990-#7 5. There You Go-1991-#32 6. Shot In The Dark 7. For You, For Me, Forever 8. Somebody's Telling Her Lies 9. Dreams Die Hard I believe the Epic one is the one you downloaded. What is even more impressive about the Arista version is that it contains songs from just two albums, Still Standing and Justice. ALL five top 40 hits are represented here. I hope this answers all questions for you. I did not say Exile had three chart toppers on Arista: Not sure what label this one is from but it only has 3 of their #1 hits. Woke Up In Love, It’ll Be Me and I Just Can’t Get Close Enough.

T.G. Sheppard time. Ready? Here is the album art of three of his greatest hits albums: The first one covers his Warner Bros. hits. The track listing: 1. Party Time-1981-#1 2. War Is Hell On The Homefront, Too-1982-#1 3. Last Cheater's Waltz-1979-#1 4. Do You Wanna Go To Heaven-1980-#1 5. Somewhere Down The Line-1984-#3 6. Slow Burn-1984-#1 7. I Loved 'Em Every One-1981-#1 8. Smooth Sailin'-1980-#6 9. Faking Love-with Karen Brooks-1983-#1 10. Only One You-1982-#1 11. I'll Be Coming Back For More-1980-#1-chart wise, his biggest hit 12. Finally-1982-#1 You do miss a few of his hits during this time, but it is the most complete CD of his Warner Bros. years. The second covers his Columbia years. The track listing: 1. Fooled Around And Fell In Love-1985-#21 2. You're My First Lady-1987-#2 3. In Over My Heart-1986-#9 4. Half Past Forever Till I'm Blue In The Heart-1987-#2-his biggest #2 hit 5. Doncha?-1985-#8 6. One For The Money-1987-#2 7. Strong Heart-1986-#1 8. Great Work Of Art 9. Crazy In The Heart 10. Changes-check out Shenandoah's version This is the ONLY complete CD of his Columbia hits. It leaves off You Still Do (#14 in 1989) which was released after the Biggest Hits album. The final one is a combination of Sheppard's greatest hits on Warner Bros. and Columbia. However, ALL songs have ben rerecorded for this album. The only one I've seen so far where the titles are arranged alphabetically. Now, to tackle T. Graham Brown. His complete album of hits looks like this: The track listing is as follows: 1. I Tell It Like It Used To Be-1986-#7 2. Drowning In Memories-1985-#39 3. Hell And High Water-1986-#1-chart wise, his biggest hit 4. Don't Go To Strangers-1987-#1 5. I Wish That I Could Hurt That Way Again-1986-#3 6. She Couldn't Love Me Anymore-1987-#4 7. The Last Resort-1988-#4 8. Darlene-1988-#1 9. Come As You Were-1989-#7 10. Never Say Never-1989-#30 11. If You Could Only See Me Now-1990-#6 12. Brilliant Conversationalist-1987-#9 13. Moonshadow Road-1990-#18 14. I'm Sending One Up For You-1991-#53 15. With This Ring-1991-#31 16. Don't Go Out-with Tanya Tucker-1990-#6 These are the original Capitol recordings. I hope this was helpful!

It'll Be Me-1986-#1 5. She's Too Good To Be True-1987-#1 What's amazing about this album is that It'll Be Me topped the chart in October, 1986. The fifth single did not top the chart until September, 1987.

After I asked you about She’s Too Good To Be True I found that iTunes actually had the album so now I have all their #1’s and 3 are digitally but I may have to buy the Epic Super Hits compilation from Amazon and I seen you could the Hang On To Your Heart album and their self titled together on Amazon as well so I may buy that as well. I only have one studio album of theirs and that’s Still Standing with Nobody’s Talking and Yet. As far as T.G. and T. Graham go, The Very Best Of T.G. I believe has all his #1 singles when I looked on iTunes so I may look into buying that CD if not just downloading it and the T. Graham one is also available on iTunes. I remember being a big fan of his song Darlene when I was a kid lol.

Time for an update. I downloaded the following albums and songs:
1. The Essential Dolly Parton-just to get Islands In The Stream-will explain later. 2. The Essential Earl Thomas Conley-to complete it, I also got Shadow Of A Doubt. 3. Duets: Emmylou Harris just to get We Believe In Happy Endings, her duet with Conley, plus the other duets I love like Thing About You with Southern Pacific. 4. The Ultimate Hits-Garth Brooks. 5. Greatest Country Hits, Volume Two-Kenny Rogers. I have this on cassette which has Islands In The Stream. The mp3 version lacks it. 6. I Told You So-The Ultimate Hits Of Randy Travis. To complete it, I also got Hard Rock Bottom Of Your Heart and If I Didn't Have You. 7. The Essential Razzy Bailey. 8. The Essential Ronnie Milsap. To complete it, I got Back To The Grindstone album to get his final four RCA hits, Snap Your Fingers, Button Off My Shirt, Old Folks, In No Time At All, Prisoner Of The Highway, and Don't You Know How Much I Love You.
There.

Three Time Loser-Dan Seals-EMI America 6. You Again-Forester Sisters-Warner Bros. 7. The Hand That Rocks The Cradle-Glen Campbell and Steve Wariner-MCA 8. Born To Boogie-Hank Williams, Jr.-Warner Bros. 9. The Way We Make A Broken Heart-Rosanne Cash-Columbia 10. Fishin' In The Dark-Nitty Gritty Dirt Band-Warner Bros. Every song in that top 10 was a #1 hit except for the Glen Campbell and Steve Wariner collaboration. Actually, the Don Williams single peaked at #4. The following week, Campbell/Wariner peaked at #6. That duet helped Wariner become Country Singles Artist of the Year according to Billboard. I say that honor should have gone to Reba McEntire. Her Billboard 1987 (December, 1986-November, 1987) looks like this: For the week ending December 6, 1986 (the first week of the new Billboard year), McEntire's vocal collaboration with Hank Williams, Jr. on Mind Your Own Business was at #4. That would top the chart for the last two weeks of the year. She had her solo What Am I Gonna Do About You at #7 for the week. That would become the second chart topping hit of 1987 following Give Me Wings by Michael Johnson (the biggest hit of the year according to Billboard). McEntire would get two more songs to peak before the year was over: Let The Music Lift You Up (#4) and One Promise Too Late (#1). For the week ending November 28, 1987 (the final week of the Billboard year), McEntire was at #3 with The Last One To Know (which would top the chart two weeks later). For Wariner, his Billboard 1987 looks like this: He had two chart toppers with Small Town Girl and The Weekend. He then peaked at #6 with the aforementioned duet. For the week ending 11-28-87, he was at #1 with Lynda. So, with one more song that charted during the year, the honor should have gone to McEntire. I know Billboard does not credit her involvement with Mind Your Own Business. I do, so that gives her 25 #1 hits.

As far as I remember he only had 2, Give Me Wings (which you mentioned) and The Moon Is Still Over Her Shoulder.

You're correct when you say Michael Johnson only had two chart topping hits. The thing I always wondered about him is why did RCA repeat The Moon Is Still Over Her Shoulder on the That's That album. It was originally on the Wings album.
