Joe Diffie landed five #1 hits between 1990-1996. He signed to the Epic label in 1990 and hit pay dirt immediately. His debut single, Home was released in August of that year. That came from his debut album, A Thousand Winding Roads (1990). It climbed all the way to the top in November. He kicked off his 1991 with a #2 hit called If You Want Me To. It held that position for two weeks in March while Mike Reid and Alan Jackson enjoyed first time chart topping hits with Walk On Faith and I'd Love You All Over Again, respectively. Diffie did hit #1 with the third single, If The Devil Danced In Empty Pockets. That claimed chart topping status in June. Diffie nearly topped the chart again with the fourth and final single, New Way To Light Up An Old Flame in October. This time, Ricky Van Shelton's Keep It Between The Lines and Anymore by Travis Tritt stood in Diffie's way of having a #1 hit. Fast forward four years and Diffie releases an album called Life's So Funny. Lead single, Bigger Than The Beatles was released in November, 1995. It became Diffie's fifth and final chart topper in February, 1996 for two weeks. He got a pair of #23 hits next: C-O-U-N-T-R-Y and Whole Lotta Gone.

Alan Jackson landed 26 #1s between 1991-2010. He signed to the Arista label in 1989. He issued his debut single that year called Blue Blooded Woman. That flopped at #45. He kicked off his 1990 by releasing the title track to his debut album called Here In The Real World. That became his first top ten when it peaked at #3. He got another #3 hit with Wanted. Fourth single, Chasin' That Neon Rainbow almost became his first chart topper. It peaked at #2 in December for two weeks while George Strait was tops with I've Come To Expect It From You. That December, Jackson released the fifth and final single, I'd Love You All Over Again. That not only became Jackson's first #1 in March 1991 for two weeks, but Arista's as well. In 2010, the Zac Brown Band released their second album called You Get What You Give. Lead single, As She's Walking Away was a duet with Jackson. Released in August, it topped the chart for two weeks in November. It became Jackson's 26th and final chart topper and surprisingly, his final top ten. The Zac Brown Band got a trio of #1s in 2011: Colder Weather (April), Knee Deep with Jimmy Buffett (August), and Keep Me In Mind (four weeks between December and January, 2012). The fifth single, No Hurry peaked at #2 in June behind Kip Moore's Somethin' 'Bout A Truck. It should be noted that As She's Walking Away did appear on Jackson's 34 Number Ones in 2010 (later The Essential Alan Jackson).

K.T. Oslin collected a quartet of chart toppers between 1987-1990. She signed to the RCA label in 1986. She issued her debut single for them in early 1987 called Wall Of Tears. That barely became a top 40 hit when it peaked at #40. That would come from her album called 80s Ladies. The title track was next and it carried her to the top ten for the first time when it peaked at #7 during the summer. Do Ya' was next and that was released in August. It became her first #1 in December. In 1988, she got another chart topper with I'll Always Come Back. In 1990, she released the Love In A Small Town album. The lead single, Two Hearts bombed at #73. Next up was Come Next Monday. That was released in September and climbed all the way to the top in November for two weeks. It also became her seventh and final top ten as well. She charted three more singles off the album in 1991: Mary And Willie (#28), You Call Everybody Darling (#69), and Cornell Crawford (#63).

Tracy Lawrence landed eight #1s between 1992-2007. In 1991, he signed to the Atlantic label. He issued his debut album that year called Sticks And Stones. The lead single was the title track and that was released in October. It topped the chart for two weeks in January, 1992. He landed three more top tens from the album: Today's Lonely Fool (#3), Runnin' Behind (#4), and Somebody Paints The Wall (#8 in 1993). In 2006, he founded his Rocky Comfort label. In August, he released the lead single to the For The Love album (2007), Find Out Who Your Friends Are. At first, it was a solo record. However, he rereleased the single with Tim McGraw and Kenny Chesney. It took a then-record 41 weeks to top the chart in June, 2007. Two more singles were released. 'Til I Was A Daddy Too (#59) and then it was rereleased in 2008 (#32) and You Can't Hide Redneck (#56). It should be noted that a duet version of Find Out Who Your Friends Are is on McGraw's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 album. As a bonus, I'll be uploading the solo and Lawrence/McGraw/Chesney videos of Find Out Who Your Friends Are.

Michael Johnson scored just two chart topping hits, both in 1987. He signed to the RCA label in 1985. However, his first musical statement for the label was a duet with Sylvia called I Love You By Heart. That was released off her One Step Closer album. Released in late 1985, it peaked at #9 in early 1986. Johnson's debut single, Gotta Learn To Live Without You came from his debut RCA album, Wings (1986). That single almost made the top ten when it topped off at #12. Give Me Wings, the second single was released in September and became the first #1 in 1987. That January, The Moon Is Still Over Her Shoulder was released. That became his second and final chart topping hit in May. He faltered a bit with the fourth and final single, Ponies (#26). Billboard named Give Me Wings the biggest hit of the year.

Let us salute the latest inductee to the Country Music Hall of Fame, Hank Williams, Jr. He landed ten chart topping hits between 1970-1987. His first was used in a movie called Kelly's Heroes. That was All For The Love Of Sunshine. It served as the lead single and title track to his 1970 album. He was backed by the Mike Curb Congregation on that single. Released in July 1970, it spent two weeks at the top in September. A second single, Rainin' In My Heart peaked at #3 in 1971. Sixteen years later, he releases the Born To Boogie album. The title track was the lead single. Released in May, it became the tenth and final chart topper in his career in August. After that rocking single came a stone country release called Heaven Can't Be Found. It peaked at #4 in January, 1988. Third and final single, Young Country peaked at #2 in May and could not dislodge Eddy Raven's I'm Gonna Get You from the top. Bocephus had some help on that one. Ironically, one of the backup vocalists was Marty Stuart, who is going to go into the Hall of Fame with Hank, Jr.. The others who participated in that record were: Butch Baker, T. Graham Brown, Steve Earle, Highway 101, Dana McVicker, and Keith Whitley.

His first album for them was Harmony (1986). The title track was the first single and that topped off at #10. Second single, Got My Heart Set On You was released in May.

A third single, The Carpenter peaked at #6 in early 1987. This is for CoJoFan, who recently acquired the Harmony album.

Also I’d like to work on Barbara Mandrell next. Any good compilations with all her number ones?

Nevermind the one I have is called 10 years of greatest hits newly recorded. I’ll have to check out the one out you mentioned. I have Set ‘Em Up Joe from the studio album but is it and I’m Still Crazy on the compilation you mentioned? Also I’d like to work on Barbara Mandrell next. Any good compilations with all her number ones? I just checked it out. It is the original version on 40 Years Of The Voice. I have Set 'Em Up Joe and I'm Still Crazy on Super Hits. I have all six chart toppers of Barbara Mandrell on Ultimate Collection. I have a question: Where did you get Baby's Got A New Baby by S-K-O? I seem to recall you're missing that one.

I have yet to get that one. Also still need Ed Bruce, Jim Glaser, The O’Kanes and The Kendall’s chart toppers. That vinyl record I bought of Jim Glaser has a scratch. Only paid a dollar for it so no big loss. I have it on vinyl at least.

Dwight Yoakam only has two #1 hits and they both came from the same album, Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room (1988). Lead single, Streets Of Bakersfield was a duet with Buck Owens. Owens himself recorded the song in 1973. The duet version was released in June and climbed all the way to the top in October. Not only was it Yoakam's first chart topper, but the final one for Owens and first for him since 1972's Made In Japan. Second single, I Sang Dixie was released in October and made its way to #1 in February, 1989. Yoakam would release two more singles from the album: I Got You (#5) and the title track (#46). Artists-Dwight Yoakam and Buck Owens Single-Streets Of Bakersfield Writer-Homer Joy Producer-Pete Anderson Album-Buenas Noches From A Lonely Room Label-Reprise Year Released-1988 Billboard Peak-#1 BILLBOARD TOP TEN FOR WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 15, 1988: 1.

I thought for sure Fast As You, Ain’t That Lonely Yet and A Thousand Miles from Nowhere would hit #1.

The Forester Sisters landed five #1 hits between 1985-1987. They signed to Warner Bros. in 1984. They issued their debut single, That's What You Do When You're In Love during early 1985. That became their first top ten when it peaked at #10. Their self-titled debut album was released. The second single, I Fell In Love Again Last Night was released in June. It topped the chart in September. They collected another two #1s in 1986: Just In Case and Mama's Never Seen Those Eyes. In 1987, they released the You Again album. The lead single, Too Many Rivers was a remake. Brenda Lee took her version to #13 pop and #2 adult contemporary in 1965. The Foresters' version reached #5. You Again, the second single is sometimes titled I'd Choose You Again. That was released in June and became the quartet's fifth and final chart topping hit. Third and final single, Lyin' In His Arms Again topped off at #5 in early 1988.

Earl Thomas Conley signed to the Sunbird label in 1980. He issued his debut single for them late in the year called Silent Treatment. It became his first top ten in early 1981. Second single, Fire And Smoke was released in March. It became the first of eighteen chart topping hits for Conley in July. Right after that, RCA bought out Conley's contract and released the parent album, Fire & Smoke. Two more singles were released: Tell Me Why (#10) and After The Love Slips Away/Smokey Mountain Memories (#16-both in 1982). It should be noted that Billboard named Fire And Smoke the biggest hit of the year. In 1988, he released The Heart Of It All album. Three singles were released and they hit the top of the chart: What She Is Is A Woman In Love (June), We Believe In Happy Endings with Emmylou Harris (September), and What I'd Say (February, 1989). In February, Love Out Loud was released. It became Conley's final chart topper in June. He released a fifth single called You Must Not Be Drinking Enough. That stalled at #26.

I think Kenny Rogers had a number 1 song on the pop charts with Ruby, Don't Take Your Love To Town when he was with the 1st Edition before he went country.
Dan Seals used to be part of a pop duo in the 70s as England Dan and John Ford Coley.
I am surprise that Restless Heart never went to number 1 for When She Cries, but did hit number 1 on the pop charts with that song.
Exhile was a soft rock groupin the 70s before going country.
I am surprise thar Tears A Tear In My Beer that Hank JR. did with his father did not hit number 1.
Webb Pierce is being credited on Sam Hunt's Hard To Forget. Webb Pierce estate gets any royalties for Sam to use Webb's song There Stands The Glass to sample. It is the Vanilla Ice effect when Queen sued him for using Under Pressure for his Ice Ice Baby. It would be the same as Kenny Rogers duet on Dottie West's song. I think Billboard would update it to add Webb with another number.

It would be the same as Kenny Rogers duet on Dottie West's song. I think Billboard would update it to add Webb with another number. 1. Let me welcome you to Pulse Music Board even though you've been with us for nearly a half a year. 2. To take everything you said in order: Kenny Rogers and the First Edition NEVER had a #1 Hot 100 hit or a #1 adult contemporary single during their late 1960s-early 1970s run. We all know about Dan Seals' previous recording career prior to him scoring country hits during the 1980s and 1990s. When She Cries was a multi format hit for Restless Heart during 1992-1993. It peaked at #9 country, #11 Hot 100, and #2 A.C.. Whitney Houston's version of I Will Always Love You kept the group out of the top spot at A.C.. They were rescued from one hit wonder status on the Hot 100 as it was their second top 40 hit there. I'll Still Be Loving You, their #1 country hit of 1987 peaked at #33 there. Yes, Exile had a mild run of Hot 100 entries during the 1970s before going country during the 1980s. The duet of There's A Tear In My Beer hit #7 in 1989. It was strange having a 27 year old man 'sing' with his 39 year old son. I don't know where your drawing the comparisons of when Sam Hunt sampled Webb Pierce with Kenny Rogers participating with Dottie West on What Are We Doin' In Love. I am not giving Pierce another #1 to add to his totals of thirteen just because part of the song was used by Hunt. It is a different situation of when Brad Paisley sampled lyrics and melody of Alabama's Mountain Music into his own Old Alabama. At least he got the group to sing on his record.

In 2001, she released her first greatest hits album. Lead single, When God-Fearin' Women Get The Blues peaked at #8. Blessed, the second single was released in October.

Was not talking about AC. I was talking about the mainstream pop Top 40. I remember Restless Heart did reached number 1 on both Casey and on Rick Dee's charts. Casey was using a different method, andRick Dees? Not sure what his was back then. Are you using Hot Country or Airplay? Back then, the more spins is based on the requests for the songs.

Travis Tritt collected five #1s over a period of ten years (1990-2000). He signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1989.

Kathy Mattea has a quartet of #1 hits. Her first came from her 1987 album, Untasted Honey. It was the lead single to the album called Goin' Gone. That was released in September and climbed all the way to the top in January, 1988. Next came her biggest hit, Eighteen Wheels And A Dozen Roses. That topped the chart for two weeks in May. She peaked at #4 with the next two singles: Untold Stories (1988) and Life As We Knew It (1989). In 1989, she released the Willow In The Wind album. Lead single, Come From The Heart became her third #1 hit in June. In July, the second single, Burnin' Old Memories was released. That became her fourth and final chart topper in November. While she was on the charts with that song, she won the C.M.A. Female Vocalist of the Year Award. The third single became her signature hit and that was Where've You Been. Released in late 1989, it peaked at #10 in early 1990. A fourth single, She Came From Fort Worth became her only #2 hit. It could not clear George Strait's biggest hit, Love Without End, Amen out of the top spot.
