22 More Hits is a 2007 compilation album by American country music artist George Strait. A follow-up of Strait's 2004 compilation 50 Number Ones, it comprises hits that otherwise did not reach Number One (except for "She Let Herself Go") on any country charts, from his 1981 debut single "Unwound" to his most recent single at the time of the album's release, "How 'bout Them Cowgirls". Unlike 50 Number Ones, this collection consists of only one disc instead of two, no new songs were recorded, and none of the tracks have been edited for time or are in chronological order.
