Late Country Icon's 'Biggest Hits' Album Is Soaring on the Country Charts Again Nearly 20 Years Later

Over two years after his death, Toby Keith's presence on the country music charts still lives on.

The late country icon - who died in February 2024 after battling stomach cancer - continues to climb up the country music charts, even decades after some of his most popular songs were released.

Just this week, Keith's 2008 album, 35 Biggest Hits, jumped up on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart, earning the No. 11 spot nearly 20 years after it first came out. The compilation album moved up two spots from last week's placement at No. 13, adding to its career total of 389 weeks on the chart, and proving that fans still love listening to some of the greatest hits Keith's catalog has to offer.

As promised in the title of the album, 35 Biggest Hits hosts many of the most successful songs from Keith's discography, including smash hits like "I Love This Bar" and "Beer For My Horses." At the time of its release in May 2008, the album soared to the top of the Country Albums chart later that same month, where it spent three weeks in the No. 1 position.

The same album also debuted on the Billboard 200 in 2008, though it didn't reach its peak position at No. 1 until February 2024, shortly after Keith's death at the age of 62.

Throughout his career, Keith had 20 singles hit No. 1 on the Hot Country Songs chart and 42 that charted in the Top 10. Many of the chart-toppers released prior to his 2008 compilation record were included on the album's track list, including fan-favorites like "Should've Been a Cowboy" (1993), "You Shouldn't Kiss Me Like This" (2000), "My List" (2001), "Who's Your Daddy?" (2002), and many more.

35 Biggest Hits was also certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in August 2008, just months after its release.
