Since Toby Keith passed away in early 2024, he has been remembered not just as a country hitmaker or a successful musician, but as a true legend. His fanbase has continued to turn out in huge numbers week after week to honor his legacy, and he remains on the Billboard charts every frame, with one special compilation built around his most successful tunes. People across the U.S. continue to buy and stream the work he left behind, and that support has helped one of Keith's most popular collections reach a notable milestone — one he never got to witness during his lifetime.
35 Biggest Hits is still present on the Billboard 200, even as it dips a little more than 10 spaces to No. 103. This frame, the project celebrates its two-hundredth week on the ranking of the most consumed albums in the country. The singles-packed compilation is the first release by Keith to reach this milestone.
Just three of Keith's releases have reached triple-digit stays on the Billboard 200. Greatest Hits 2 stands as his second-longest-charting success, with 106 frames on the tally. Unleashed managed to last exactly two years before falling away for good.
35 Biggest Hits is one of five Keith titles to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Although the set debuted back in 2008, it didn't rise to the summit until February 2024, when it reentered the roster at No. 1 as the country mourned the loss of the superstar. Millions flocked to the compilation on streaming platforms, eager to hear his voice once again following the heartbreaking news of his passing.
While 35 Biggest Hits is currently on the downswing on the Billboard 200, it continues to perform well on another important tally. This frame, it climbs one spot to No. 21 on the Top Country Albums chart. The former champion has now spent 336 frames somewhere on that genre-only list.
