The album features a further nine hit singles from Rogers' career, hence missing out on a number of others (notable omissions including 'Daytime Friends', 'Sweet Music Man' and 'Love Or Something Like It') but didn't stop the album from being a huge success and confirmed Rogers' status as one of the world's biggest stars, going on to sell more than 22 million copies world wide. The album reached Number One on both the Pop and Country charts in the United States of America and featured three singles that were not included on any of Rogers' studio albums - these being 'Lady' (written and produced specifically for Rogers by Lionel Richie, which was a #1 hit single in the same year), 'Love The World Away' (a top 5 country and top 20 pop hit that was featured on the soundtrack of the box-office smash Urban Cowboy) and 'Long Arm of the Law' (a lesser known, but still relatively popular song among Rogers' loyal fan base). Rogers was particularly popular with country. He was elected to the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013. Kenneth Ray Rogers (Aug– March 20, 2020) was an American singer, songwriter, musician, actor, record producer, and entrepreneur. His longest-lasting Number Ones on that chart are ' The Gambler ' and ' Coward of the County ', at three weeks each. The discography of Kenny Rogers, an American country music singer, consists of 39 studio albums and 80 singles, 21 of which have reached Number One on the country chart.
