34 Number Ones is the seventh greatest hits compilation album by American country artist Alan Jackson. It was released in the United States on November 23, 2010, through Arista Nashville.[3] The release celebrates Jackson's 20-year anniversary of his debut album.[4] As of the chart dated February 26, 2011, the album has sold 200,131 copies in the US.[5]

Content

[edit | edit source]

The release includes all of Jackson's number-one hits on various trade charts, from his first, "Here in the Real World", to his (at the time) latest, "Country Boy".[6] Newly included in the release are his cover of Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire" and Jackson's late-2010 contribution with Zac Brown Band, "As She's Walking Away".[3] "Look at Me", a song which was initially recorded for the soundtrack to Billy: The Early Years, was previously unreleased on a Jackson album.
