Country star Toby Keith died yesterday at age 62 from cancer.

Keith was a star for several decades and had amassed a big catalog. Now just about all of it is on the charts.

Almost half the iTunes 100 is made up of Keith’s singles — 44 at this moment. Eighteen of his albums are on top 100 album chart, too.

You can see from a January 8th video posted to Instagram that Keith — always a robust good ol’ boy — had been whittled down by stomach cancer in the two years plus from when was diagnosed.

Comdolences to his family and devout fans.
