Known as the "King of Country", Strait is one of the most influential and popular recording artists of all time. Strait has sold more than 100 million records worldwide, making him one of the best-selling music artists of all time. His certifications from the RIAA include 13 multi-platinum, 33 platinum, and 38 gold albums. His best-selling album is Pure Country (1992), which sold 6 million (6× platinum). His highest certified album is Strait Out of the Box (1995), which sold 2 million copies (8× Platinum due to being a box set with four CDs). According to the RIAA, Strait is the 12th best-selling album recording artist in the United States overall.

Strait's success began when his first single "Unwound" was a hit in 1981. During the 1980s, seven of his albums reached #1 on the country charts. In the 2000s, Strait was named Artist of the Decade by the Academy of Country Music, was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame, and won his first Grammy award for the album Troubadour. Strait was named CMA Entertainer of the Year in 1989, 1990 and 2013, and ACM Entertainer of the Year in 1990 and 2014. He has been nominated for more CMA and ACM awards and has more wins in both categories than any other artist.

By 2009, he broke Conway Twitty's previous record for the most #1 hits on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart when his 44 #1 singles surpassed Twitty's 40. Counting all music charts, Strait has amassed a total of 60 #1 hits, breaking a record also previously set by Twitty, giving him more #1 songs than any other artist in any genre of music.

Strait is also known for his touring career when he designed a 360-degree configuration and introduced festival style tours. For example, the Strait Tours earned $99 million in three years. His concert at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, in June 2014 drew 104,793 people, marking a new record for largest indoor concert in North America.

In more than 30 years of recording, all of which have been spent with MCA Records, George Strait has garnered 61 #1 songs on all country charts (including Mediabase 24/7, the former Radio & Records chart, and the now-defunct Gavin Report chart), and has more #1 hits than any other artist in a single genre. His 44 Billboard country #1 hits are a record, four more than Conway Twitty's total that includes several duets with Loretta Lynn. Additionally, Strait is also the first artist in the history of Billboard to have at least one single enter the top 10 of a Billboard chart for 30 consecutive years, starting in 1981 when his debut single "Unwound" peaked at number six on the Hot Country Singles chart. All of his top-10 singles have been on that chart. Strait has sold more than 68 million records in the United States alone, and his certifications from the RIAA include 13 multiplatinum, 33 platinum, and 38 gold albums.

Overall Meaning

The song Fly Me To The Moon is a beautiful duet by George Strait and Frank Sinatra. In the first few lines of the song, George is expressing to Frank that he needs a break, and maybe a trip somewhere. Frank responds with "Fly me to the moon, Let me play up there with those stars". The lyrics can be interpretted as an invitation to escape the problems of the world and go far away where they can be together.

The second stanza of the song is Frank's invitation to George, and anybody listening, to join him in dreaming of what life would be like on another planet. "Let me see what spring is like on Jupiter and Mars". This is an invitation to escape the mundane life on Earth and take a trip to a dream world. The fact that Frank mentions spring, which is a season of renewal and rejuvenation, adds to the idea that the escape is needed to replenish weary souls.

The chorus of the song is a beautiful expression of love between two people. The lines "Fill my heart with song, And let me sing forever more, You are all I long for, All I worship and adore", express an undying love for one another. The song is then wrapped up with the repeated line "In other words, I love you", emphasizing once more the love and commitment shared between the two people.
