George Strait has recorded 60 Number 1 hit songs. That is more than any artist, in any genre, in recorded history. More than The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Eddy Arnold. I thought it would be fun to sing ALL 60 of his Number 1 hits. The fifteenth one dates back to 1988......

If You Ain't Lovin' (You Ain't Livin')" is a song written by Tommy Collins and originally recorded by country music artist Faron Young.

It was also covered by George Strait on his album If You Ain't Lovin', You Ain't Livin'. His version became his 15th number 1 single in the U.S.

Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave the song a B- grade, saying that it "features Strait singing in such an exaggerated twang that the entire proceedings feel more campy than country."

"If You Ain't Lovin'" reached number two for three weeks on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for Faron Young in 1954.

George Strait's version was a chart topper in 1988, his eighth consecutive single to do so. Its chart performance on the Canadian RPM Country Tracks chart is unknown.
