Garth Brooks has long occupied a rare place in music: not simply as a country superstar, but as an artist whose songs, albums and concerts have reached a scale few performers in any genre have matched.
Billboard began documenting that phenomenon from the start. Brooks made his Hot Country Songs chart debut in 1989 with “Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old),” then amassed 10 top 10s and seven No. 1s by the end of 1991 alone. His totals have since grown to 92 chart entries, 36 top 10s and 19 No. 1s, including “The Dance,” “Friends in Low Places,” “The Thunder Rolls” and “Shameless” — songs that didn’t just define his career but became part of country music’s foundation. He has also reached the Billboard Hot 100 nine times, led by — surely surprisingly — the No. 5-peaking “Lost in You,” released under his turn-of-the-century Chris Gaines alter ego.
