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 25th one dates back to 1992......
"I Cross My Heart" is a song written by Steve Dorff and Eric Kaz, and performed by American country music artist George Strait. It was released in September 1992 as the first single to his album Pure Country, which is also the soundtrack to the movie of the same title. It reached number-one in both the United States and Canada. The song is featured as the movie's finale.
The music video was directed by Charley Randazzo, and consists entirely of scenes from the film, Strait's next music video "Heartland" also exclusively used scenes from Pure Country. These two videos were released consecutively as were the singles.
"I Cross My Heart" debuted at number 58 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of October 3, 1992 and peaked at number one on December 5, 1992. Since it became available for digital download, the song has sold over 1 million digital copies in the United States as of January 2021.
