\"\"<\/p>\n

Forty years ago, in 1985, country music legend George Strait released his album “Something Special.”<\/b> This highly successful album, released on August 29, 1985, became a significant milestone in his career, further solidifying his status as a country music icon.<\/p>\n

“Something Special” featured two hit singles: “You’re Something Special to Me” (which reached No. 4 on the Hot Country Singles chart) and the iconic “The Chair,” which became a No. 1 hit. The album itself also topped the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, earning a Platinum certification from the RIAA.<\/p>\n

This album showcased Strait’s traditional country sound, a style that helped usher in the neotraditional country movement and greatly influenced the genre for decades to come. “Something Special” remains a beloved work in his extensive discography.<\/p>\n
