Conway Twitty has more hits than Johnny Cash. Conway Twitty was still hitting the Country Music charts up into the 1990's. Conway died on June 5,1993 . Conway had 30 consecutive #1 hit Singles on the country music charts between 1958-1977, and with that 30, he would go on to add another 20 #1 hits during the period of 1977-1990. So, Conway had a grand total of 40 #1 hits.

Johnny Cash had his share of hits as well. Johnny had 26 #1 hits between 1955-1988. In 1986, Columbia Records dropped Johnny Cash from their company. It was a slap in his face, after making millions of dollars for the company over 30 years. Johnny Cash got even. In 1987, Johnny received the Grammy for, "Best Country Male Performance." Johnny took a full page out in the country music publication, "Music City News," holding his Grammy award, and gritting his teeth, he gave his former record company the "bird."

For the majority of his career that remained, Johnny recorded for independent labels, and did videos for some of his songs. Country radio rarely played the records. But, the video channels (including CMT, GAC, MTV, and VH-1), would show his videos for his songs, and they became popular anyway, without country music radio. In fact between 1989-2004, Johnny Cash would take home another half a dozen GRAMMY Awards, for "Best Country Male Performance." Johnny's last #1 record was in early 2003, with the tune called "Hurt." Johnny Cash died September 12, 2003.

Conway Twitty and Johnny Cash were two of country music's greatest singers and songwriters, and they are truly missed by many true county music fans.
