However, good things for the singer didn’t just end there. McGraw also made history by having the longest duration between his first No. 1 and his latest. Now, with a remarkable 29 years and six months, he has exceeded the record previously held by George Strait – the man being hailed today as the King Of Country Music.

Woke up this morning to find out “Standing Room Only” just went Number 1…. the 46th song to top the Country Radio charts in my career. I can’t believe it, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude!! Thank you to Country Radio and everyone listening!
