The person who holds the record for most #1 hits, regardless of what charts they’re on and regardless of what country they become hits in, is currently country artist George Strait, with around 57 #1′s (possibly more by now for all I know).

As for between the Beatles and Elvis, I honestly don’t know who had more #1′s but I can say that the Beatles have sold more records than Elvis…so has Garth Brooks.

I think it depends on which charts you use and for which country. For instance, George Strait has 57 #1 hits on the US Country charts. If you're just going by the US Top 100, then the list cited above by Mark V is correct.

Maybe because he picked up some off the country music table. But I don't know the counts and think like you.
