Toby Keith, a towering figure in the world of country music, has left an indelible mark on the genre. With 42 top 10 hits, 33 number one singles, over 44 million albums sold, and more than 10 billion streams, Keith's influence stretches across generations and around the globe. His legendary catalog includes hits like "Should’ve Been A Cowboy," "How Do You Like Me Now?!," "Courtesy of the Red, White, & Blue (The Angry American)," and "I Love This Bar." His contributions to music and his powerful self-directed creative force earned him a place in the Country Music Hall of Fame shortly before his passing in February.

Keith’s accolades are numerous and well-deserved. He was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2015, received the National Medal of Arts in 2021, and was honored by the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame and BMI as an Icon in 2022. Each award stands as a testament to his profound impact on the music industry.
