Thomas Rhett celebrated his seven most recent number-one songs at a party in Nashville yesterday morning (6/5). And today (6/7), he announced the upcoming release of a retrospective vinyl collection celebrating his 20 No. One hits over ten years. Titled 20 Number Ones, the new vinyl will be out on September 29.

Thomas said at the party, "To have 20 No. Ones is beyond wild - honestly, more than I ever could have imagined. I'm grateful to have hit this milestone, but mostly it's just exciting to look back at this journey so far and see how these songs represent the different chapters of my life — and hopefully, the Home Team (his fan club) feels the same way."

He added, "I want to say thank you to everyone for letting me be a part of the special moments in life - it's hard to put into words what these past 10 years mean to me. Can't wait for another great 10!"

Listeners can expect to hear fan-favorite tracks from start to finish, illustrating Rhett's path from starting as a new artist to his current status as one of country music's biggest stars. From his 2012 breakout with "It Goes Like This" to his most recent chart-toppers "Slow Down Summer" and "Half of Me" (featuring Riley Green).

Thomas Rhett celebrates his 33rd birthday today (3/30) and is also celebrating the first anniversary of his Where We Started album on Saturday (4/1). Thomas reflects on where he and his wife Lauren started over a decade ago.

Rhett told us, "Just kinda looking back at the last decade of our lives … Shoot, 2012, when I was playing 600 shows a year, and Lauren was with me on the tour bus with nine other dudes, it felt like we were never going to get out of that. And my wife, being like, 'Man, how many times have we been to Wisconsin this year?'"

He continued, "I wake up now, and I'm like, we have four children; so much has changed in my career from just success to bigger rooms to getting to do neat collaborations with people. And sometimes you wake up, and you're like, man, today is tough. And you look back at your past, and you're like, yeah, but think about where we were. And I think whether you do music, or whatever you do, I think anyone can look back at their past, and be like man, looking at where we are now, compared to where we were, the future looks pretty bright."
