The generational hitmaker has managed to rackup a whopping 20 No 1 in just over a decade. Thomas sat down with All Country News and other media outlets to reflect on his decade of hits.
“To have 20 No. Ones is beyond wild - honestly more than I ever could have imagined,” reflected Thomas Rhett. "I’m grateful to have hit this milestone, but mostly it’s just exciting to look back at this journey so far and see how these songs represent the different chapters of my life — and hopefully the Home Team feels the same way. I want to say thank you to everyone for letting me be a part of the special moments in life - it’s hard to put into words what these past 10 years mean to me. Can’t wait for another great 10!”
Thomas also talked about how his home life has also grown and changed, thus those milestones are reflected in his music and each era of Thomas.
"I'm just so in the weeds with my kids right now, and I'm exhausted every single day of my life. The music is inspired by some parenthood lessons I've learned. Being able to be fully on the road now and having a good time again. I think the next bit of music is gonna be very fun. For the first time in my career where I've felt like I'm established. I've got a lot of wisdom been through a lot of highs and a lot of lows over the last decade. I feel like I'm finally very content. There is piece in my heart and my brain both as a father and as a husband."
Listeners can expect to hear fan-favorite tracks from start to finish on the new vinyl illustrating Thomas Rhett’s path from starting as a new artist to his current status as one of Country music’s biggest stars.
From his 2012 breakout with “It Goes Like This,” that journey has made Thomas Rhett the dictionary definition of the term “Country singer-songwriter” – a thrilling entertainer with an equally sharp pen having written 15 of the 20 chart-toppers, making his own music and his own lane, constantly reinventing and moving the mainstream forward with each successive Number One.

With 2014’s “Make Me Wanna,” he injected Country with a blast of feel-good funk, doing so at just 23 years old. 2015’s “Crash and Burn” gambled on old school Doo Wop, and by the time he reached “Die a Happy Man,” Thomas Rhett could have done just that – but chose instead not to rest on his laurels. Deeply personal, he earned a new level of success weaving gratitude and family values in with an irresistible groove, then carried on with “Unforgettable,” “Life Changes,” “Look What God Gave Her” and more. Shifting again, the reflective beauty of “Be a Light” and “Country Again” brought positivity and simplicity back to the format’s core. And with his most recent hits, “Slow Down Summer” and “Half of Me” (featuring Riley Green), fully-uncorked energy mix with Thomas Rhett's big-picture intelligence, as he continues leading – not following. Even when it’s not on purpose.
