It’s George Strait’s birthday!

King George turns 71 today. With 60 No. 1 hits, The country superstar from Texas almost has a hit song for every year he’s been alive.

Strait will return to Fort Worth in November for two shows at Dickies Arena after doing the same last year.

Before he makes his return to Fort Worth, we thought we’d celebrate his birthday by voting on our favorite Strait No. 1 hit.

“She’ll Leave You With a Smile”? “Run”? “Write This Down”? There are so many to choose from.

And we know the poll only has 10 choices and Strait has 50 more No. 1s. If you don’t see your favorite...well, write it down, and we’ll take a little note.
