It's good to be the king


Last week, George Strait -- a.k.a., The King of Country Music -- received two Grammy Award nominations, for Best Country Album (It Just Comes Natural, his 34th studio release) and Best Male Country Vocal Performance (for "Give It Away" from the Natural CD). This week, The King continues to rule: His compilation album 50 Number Ones has just been certified 7X Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In other words, he's sold seven million copy of that best-selling CD.

BTW: Strait kicks off his nationwide arena tour Jan. 10 deep in the heart of Texas.
