For the sake of interest, the number one songs according to other charts found here are "Too Late to Worry, Too Blue to Cry," "Just in Case," "Back on My Mind," "Stranger Things Have Happened," and "Since I Don't Have You," all of which made the Top Ten in that well-known magazine's rankings. But there is more than one music trade magazine and more than one country singles chart, and a record that stopped short of the summit on one may have made it on another. Meanwhile, those of you who are fans of statistics and who consult only the charts in the best-known music trade magazine (or who have perused All Music Guide's biography of Milsap) may suppose that the artist hasn't had 40 country chart-toppers, only 35. Surprisingly, however, 40 #1 Hits is an exception to these suppositions it does contain Milsap's original RCA Victor recordings, digitally remastered. While the majors occasionally license a track or two to their rivals, they never loan out the bulk of an album, and Milsap, like many music veterans, has re-recorded his material before. After all, he spent his hitmaking years on RCA Victor, which is owned by BMG, while Virgin Records, which released this set, is owned by EMI, a competing major label. Those of you who pay attention to record labels are liable to assume that this two-disc compilation consists of re-recordings of Ronnie Milsap's hits.
