Country Music In 20 Songs
Paul Sexton
If it was country music in two hundred songs, this would still be a daunting selection decision. But here to whet your appetite is uDiscover Music's sampler of 20 classic tunes that have helped to define one of America's greatest indigenous music genres. Our goal is simply to highlight some of the tracks and artists who have shaped the destiny of this endlessly creative and constantly developing art form.
We've also decided not to extend the list too far in the modern iteration of country, partly because there just isn't room and partly because the genre now embraces so many elements of pop, rock and even hip-hop culture. The 21st century country stylings of Luke Bryan, Carrie Underwood, Luke Combs and other current heroes are reflected extensively as part of our continuing country coverage.
We begin with some of the true pioneers who made the very first music that we came to call country, such as the Virginia collective who became known as the First Family of Country Music, the Carter Family. Bob Wills, the man who popularised the Western Swing sound, takes his place alongside the Tennessee Plowboy, Eddy Arnold, who in terms of chart achievements, was named in Joel Whitburn's 2002 Top Country Singles volume as the No. 1 country artist of all time.
Arnold's 'I'll Hold You In My Heart (Till I Can Hold You In My Arms)' and Hank Snow's 'I'm Moving On' both earn their place by having spent an astonishing 21 weeks each atop the country charts, in 1947 and 1950 respectively. Two huge heroes who died far too soon, Hank Williams and Patsy Cline, are of course automatic choices, as are Kitty Wells and Loretta Lynn, who did more than most to advance the cause of women in country music and to inspire later female stars. Also here are signature hits by stars of the 1950s and '60s such as Webb Pierce, Marty Robbins, Leroy Van Dyke and Buck Owens.
No country playlist would be complete without Johnny Cash, represented here by his seminal Sun Records hit of 1956, 'I Walk The Line,' while outlaw country takes its place on the list with the Man In Black's old friends Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings.
Massive pop-country crossovers by Glen Campbell and Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton sit alongside a landmark 1980 hit by the Possum, George Jones, and one of the 60 (yes, sixty) No. 1 singles amassed so far by the modern king of country, George Strait. Don your stetson, press play and then hit the comments box!

Great list! (I might have chosen a different King George song….)
Thanks for not including the "noise" trying to pass as country music
for the past 10 years or so.
The early greats like Jimmie Rogers , Delmore Brothers , Louvin Brothers and Rose Maddox not on the list ?
Stephen Watts
Welcome To My World Jim Reeves or any other great song he did!
DeannaDL
Without Jim Reeves, this is not a complete list.
RayC
also…wheres Gene Watson………one or 2 on list not too sure about…countrys …country…#16&19 Country..country???
Benjamin Fitzgerald
A good, strong list, but not *quite* perfect. I know Rhinestone Cowboy was a major hit, but it's not really an emblem of country music so much as it is a pop country crossover. It would be better to have included "Crazy Arms" by Ray Price, whose country shuffle redefined the genre. I would also pick different songs for Kenny Rogers (The Gambler) and George Strait (Amarillo by Morning).
Still, this list is pretty thorough. You touched on almost all the greats of country music. It's a shame there wasn't room for a song by Dwight Yoakam or Alan Jackson, as they worked with Strait to bring a major breath of fresh air to the genre. I personally would have left off LeRoy van Dyke and included "Don't Rock the Jukebox." But that's a pretty minor complaint. Good job guys.
Barbara Walker
Early Randy Travis!
I'm only in my early 50's and I just cannot stand to listen to county music anymore. It's all junk and more pop than country. I like all the early, early singers and songs. They are the epitome of COUNTRY MUSIC! !!!
John Fields
M kerr
I totally agree, especially girl country singers. But the older the better as far as I'm concerned. I would have picked some different artists, but not too bad.
Ron Nagle
OK, I am aware that ignorance runs rampant throughout the music industry but there is no excuse if someone just does a little research when attempting a project such as this.
Leroy Van Dyke? Glen Campbell? Kenny Rogers?
How about one of the most important country music icons of all time, the King of Country Music himself, Mr. Roy Acuff. There is no excuse, do your research folks.
Only one Hank Williams, Sr. song on the top 20? An argument could be made all of the top 20 country songs are by him. Anyway, El Paso deserves to be there, The Grateful Dead version was terrific too and Your Cheatin' Heart has to be there. Willie Nelson deserves a couple more. Ah, it is all fun to talk about.
Gary B.Born
Where is Lefty Frizzell ? no list can be complete without him so many greats left out Wynn Stewart,Ernest Tubb
JIM REEVES SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE.
Ella Geisick
JIM REEVES just had to be here to be the top 20. Such a wonderful voice.
Lucy Rodgers
need Jean Shepard & Stonewall Jackson forget Kenny Rogers
I would have added "Flowers on the Wall"
Neville Pellitt
I was Jim Reeves rep in Australia and can't understand why my good
friend isn't in your list!!
I'm one of those who think that country music these days is junk. My favorite is Marty Robbins and Conway Twitty, any of the singers back in those days are people who you can understand what they are saying, not like the stuff of today.
Tess Ailshire
I'd add:
– Connie Smith's Once A Day
– Wanda Jackson's Right or Wrong
If I had to remove to to make room, it would be Islands in the Stream and Rhinestone Cowboy
Tony Gardner
Yes Both of those are easily more deserving. I never rated "Islands" as a country song, and
most of Kenny Rodgers stuff is 90% pop. Exceptions may be Coward of the County and Lucille, but he was never 100% country
don't leave out Carl Smith Hey Joe and lets live a little.
David Pickel
Many say the #1 Country song of all time is "Stand by your man" by Tammy Wynette. Top 20 for sure. John Anderson is my personal favorite.
Roger Estill
Pretty good list. I know it's hard to name everyone. But you only mentioned individual singers and not any groups like the Oak Ridge Boys, the Statler Brothers, or Alabama.
Hank Williams Cold Cold Heart Should have been on the List, & Hank Thompson Honky Tonk Angels
James Lioyd Moser
Hank Williams Cold, cold Heart should have been on the list ,Hank Thompson Honky, Tonk, Angels is another one
If you're looking for a brief history of country music, I don't think you need Eddy Arnold, Hank Snow, and Webb Pierce on the list- Hank Snow would've sufficed to represent that period and type of singer. For me, you can't have a discussion of country music history that doesn't include Alabama and Ronny Milsap. I think Islands in the Stream was a great pick to represent the 70/80's crossover period and honor both Kenny and Dolly at the same time. The Hank Williams pick should've been I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry and King George's song should've been Amarillo by Morning.
Barcus
Then you have no concept of what Country music was really all about at that time
Harvey Thompson
At my age I've heard all those you named plus the ones you missed.Threre's not enough room to list them all.The county artist are great.Not so much the crossovers.Hank Williams SR. was to country music that Arnold Palmer is to golf.At 81 years old the change is too much
David Pascoe
No Gram Parsons?
i like Lefty F. hank Sr. and most of the older singers. and have disks of them
Roger Hill
If Patsy Cline is on the list : where is Jim. Reeves , Bobby Bare (who won the first country music Grammy award) Don Williams . Is this list stuck in a time zone? Is country music just fiddles, steel guitars and banjos?
Islands in the stream ? ? ? Suddendly this list loses all credibility
"Coal Miner's Daughter" is the epitome of country, about country, by country. No coal mining songs? Railroad songs? You've got to include "Orange Blossom Special". Come to think of it, there were no Bluegrass songs of any kind.
Conway Twitty is also missing from the list. ( Conway Twitty held the record for having the most songs go to #1 on the charts then any other artist. I doubt George Strait would have been able to surpass him if he'd hadn't died in 1993)
Conway Twitty is also missing from the list ( Conway held the lead with the most songs to reach #1 on the charts, long before George Strait was able to break his record and probably wouldn't have surpassed Conway if Conway hadn't died in 1993 )
Cyril byrne
Conway twitty not on the list one of the greatest of all time
Bruc Carriker
Pretty good list. Things I'd change:
1) For Kenny Rogers duet, should've gone with "Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer" with Kim Carnes or "Every Time Two Fools Collide" with Dotty West. I know Dolly is a big name, but that doesn't make it the best of KR's duets.
2) Putting Jim Reeves and Patsy Cline together on a duet mastered after their deaths doesn't cut it. They both need to be there – Jim Reeves with "Four Walls" or "He'll Have to Go"; Patsy Cline with "Crazy", obviously. Loved me some Glen Campbell, but if he has to go to include these two separately, so be it.
3) Different song for George Strait – "This Is Where the Cowboy Rides Away", "Amarillo by Morning", or "The Chair"
4) Different song for Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys – "San Antonio Rose"
5) Different song for Hank Williams, "Cold Cold Heart" or "You're Cheatin' Heart"
6) Loved Leroy Van Dyke and Buck Owens but they can't be on the list if Conway Twitty, Alan Jackson, Dolly Parton (on her own, not duet with KR), the Statler Brothers, Alabama, Don Williams aren't on the list.

Na teoria dos números, a constante de Mills é definida como o menor real positivo A tal que a função piso da dupla exponencial:

é um número primo para todos os inteiros positivos n. A constante possui este nome em homenagem a William H. Mills, que provou em 1947 a existência de A, baseado em resultados de Guido Hoheisel e Albert Ingham sobre intervalos entre primos consecutivos. Seu valor é desconhecido, mas se a hipótese de Riemann for verdadeira, seu valor é de aproximadamente 1.3063778838630806904686144926... (sequência A051021 na OEIS).

Primos de Mills
Os primos gerados pela constante de Mills são conhecidos como Primos de Mills. Se a hipótese de Riemann for verdadeira, seus primeiros termos são:

2, 11, 1361, 2521008887, 16022236204009818131831320183, 4113101149215104800030529537915953170486139623539759933135949994882770404074832568499, ... (sequencia A051254 na OEIS).

Atualmente, o maior primo de Mills conhecido (sob a hipótese de Riemann) é:

com um comprimento de 20562 dígitos.

Sketch da Prova
Dada uma sequência   de inteiros positivos, provaremos que basta que  para que exista A tal que  para todo n.

Para isso, considere a sequência de intervalos  onde .  A condição  implica que . Segue, portanto, do teorema dos intervalos encaixantes, que existe um número real A que está em todos estes intervalos. Esse número satisfaz o desejado, pois .

Portanto para provar a existência da constante de Mills, basta provar que existe uma sequência de primos  tais que  para todo n. A existência desta sequência segue, por exemplo, de um resultado de Cheng, que implica que há ao menos um primo entre n^3 e (n+1)^3 para todo n suficientemente grande. Se assumirmos a hipótese de Riemann, temos ainda que existe tal sequência de primos com , e que que gera o real A minimal pode ser obtida recursivamente, tomando-se  como o menor primo maior que .

Cálculo Numérico
Calculando-se a sequência dos primos de Mills, pode-se aproximar a constante de Mills como:

Caldwell e Cheng (2005) usaram este método para calcular quase 7 mil dígitos da constante na base 10, assumindo a hipótese de Riemann. Não se conhece uma fórmula fechada para esta constante, e nem se sabe se é um número racional.

If you have seen the new movie, "Hidden Figures", you witnessed the stunning achievement of three African-American women working at NASA alongside employees and astronauts. The resiliency, self-awareness and perseverance demonstrated in this film on several accounts are skills that are necessary to succeed in life- life skills as we call them in 4-H.
After seeing "Hidden Figures", I was even more exciting to hear the news that in 2017 NASA and 4-H will be teaming up to help students develop these life skills. This new partnership with NASA and 4-H will bring lessons and content built around important foundational skills.
"Expeditionary Skills For Life" will feature lessons and content built around important foundational skills. The initiative launched with a video from Peggy Whitson, a 4-H alum and NASA astronaut currently serving aboard the International Space Station (ISS), highlighting the new program that is now available to the public. The curriculum pairs Whitson's stay on the ISS with monthly themes such as self-care in January, cultural competency in February, leadership and followership in March and teamwork in April.
For partnerships like this, 4-H brings more than 100 years of experience in developing hands-on, science-based out-of-school experiences for youth and NASA contributes its extraordinary resources and expertise. Together they work with the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy on strategic planning and innovative resource development for STEM education.
4-H offers students, teachers and parents a range of other STEM resources for youth including the 4-H National Youth Science Day, the world's largest youth-led science experiment. In 2016, the Drone Discovery Challenge encouraged youth to explore activities surrounding unmanned flight, from piloting to the computer code behind the scenes.
For more information about the Expeditionary Skills For Life curriculum and to see a video of Whitson, visit http://www.nasa.gov/education/4H.

The new Ordos International Circuit, based in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, will host the first Superleague race to be held outside of Europe on October 3rd. The 2.3 mile, 18 turn track will be the first of two back to back events in China with the second coming a week later at a so far, undisclosed venue.
With Chinese Club Beijing Guoan present in the line up of Superleague teams, it will hopefully provide appeal to locals keen to show their support. This has also fuelled speculation that the other Chinese round will be held in the nation's capital.
The circuit cost £66 million to build and has be given FIA level 2 status. It will host a warm up car race before the arrival of the Superleague Fomula, the first international event to be held there, in the shape of a Chinese Touring Car Championship event in September.
If the two Asian rounds this year prove to be successful then it could mark the start of more non-european Superleague races taking a place in the future and expanding the appeal of the unique racing format worldwide.

This table presents information about developments in retail turnover (SIC 2008 code 47). The data is broken down in two ways. The first breakdown refers to the sales channel: shops that predominantly sell goods online and those that predominantly sell goods through other sales channels (physical shops, markets, etc.). The second breakdown refers to the main economic activity: shops that predominantly sell food and drugstore items, consumer electronics, clothes and fashion items or other non-food. Developments are presented as percentage changes compared to a previous year and by means of indices. In this table, the base year is updated to 2015, in previous publications the base year was 2013. The survey used to measure turnover change for online sales covers retail trade companies with 10 or more employees; these represent 65-70 percent of total online sales. Small businesses are not covered.
Data available from January 2014.
Status of the figures
Figures on 2022 are provisional, the preceding periods are definite.
The figures of a calendar year will become definite no later than five months after the end of that calendar year. Until then, the figures in this table will be 'provisional' and can still be adjusted as a result of delayed response.
Changes as of December 30, 2022:
Figures of November 2022 have been added. Figures of preceding periods in 2022 may have been adjusted.
When will new figures be published?
As a rule, monthly statistics are published six to eight weeks after the end of the reporting month. Quarterly statistics are published on the last working day of the second month after the quarter. Once definite figures have been published, Statistics Netherlands will only revise the results if significant adjustments and/or corrections are necessary.
Description topics
Turnover indices online sales
An index compares the value of a variable (e.g. turnover) in a certain period with the value of the same variable in the base period. The index of this base period is 100.
Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies. Price and volume indices are also published for most (sub)categories.
Turnover year-on-year change
Change in turnover indicates the growth rate with respect to the same period (month, quarter, year) of the previous year as a percentage. Statistics Netherlands calculates this on the basis of non-rounded figures.
Turnover is defined as the value of sales of goods and services to third parties, VAT excluded. Turnover includes the main activity as well as secondary activities. Third parties are consumers and enterprises not belonging to (the Dutch part of) the own group of companies.
Retail turnover 5.5 percent up in November
Retail turnover over 4 percent up in October
Retail turnover over 5 percent up in September
