25 Number Ones

AMG Review of 25 Number Ones

All Music Guide

Over the years, there have been too many compilations of Conway Twitty "number one singles" to count. MCA Nashville/UTV's 2004 25 Number Ones is one of the better ones. Even if it isn't nearly as comprehensive as MCA Nashville's 33-track, double-disc 2000 release #1 Hits Collection, it is a little more user friendly -- it may offer eight fewer tracks, but they're all packed on one lengthy single disc. Not every big hit is here, but most of them are -- enough to make this an excellent choice who want a lot of Conway's hits, but would choose conciseness of comprehensiveness.
