Setting records is nothing new for Strait. He has the most No. 1 singles of any artist in any genre. He also has the most No. 1 albums, gold albums and platinum albums in the history of country music.
According to fan wiki setlist.fm, concertgoers were treated to a 30-song set. At least one fan had his attention divided while Strait played the classics.
