Toby Keith continues to be saluted and remembered following his death in February with many tributes and a slew of new RIAA certifications, including new Platinum and Gold records for “American Ride,” “God Love Her,” “Cryin’ For Me (Wayman’s Song),” “Trailerhood” and “Who’s That Man.”

Immediately after his passing, Keith’s 35 Biggest Hits topped the all-genre Billboard Top 200 and Top Country Albums charts. He became the first artist with nine of the top 10 Billboard Country Digital Songs. He also had 12 of the top 15—five of which he solely wrote.

Other RIAA certifications stacked up throughout 2024, including Should’ve Been A Cowboy (four-times Platinum), “Beer For My Horses” (three-times Platinum), “I Love This Bar” (three-times Platinum), American Ride (Platinum), “Who’s Your Daddy?” (Gold) and the Bullets in the Gun (Gold).

In October, Keith was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, with Alabama’s Randy Owen leading the induction and Keith’s wife Tricia accepting on his behalf. The Toby Keith Foundation also celebrated the 10-year anniversary of the opening of OK Kids Korral, and the 20th Anniversary Toby Keith & Friends Golf Classic event brought in $3.1 million for a to-date total of $20 million raised.

A TKF endowment was also established and Keith’s family pledged continued commitment to its good works, and proceeds from the Jelly Roll/T-Pain Stagecoach performance benefited OKK. Jelly Roll also visited OKK in November, raising awareness and donations, and Lainey Wilson dedicated a day of her Heart Like A Truck Fund’s Week of Giving to TKF and OKK, donating $10,000 and asking fans to join her in support.
