== Overview ==
Ray Charles first appeared on a ''Billboard'' chart in 1949, when — as part of the Maxin Trio with G.D. McKee and Milton Garred — he charted his first single with "Confession Blues." It reached No.&nbsp;2 on the R&B chart, then called the Most-Played Juke Box Race Records. In 1952, Charles signed with [[Atlantic Records]] and went on to top ''Billboard''{{'}}s pop, country, R&B, jazz, and dance charts.<ref name=":1">{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/958003/ray-charles-on-the-charts|title=Ray Charles On The Charts|last=Caulfield|first=Keith|date=May 27, 2010|magazine=Billboard}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-charles-idUSTRE68H0FI20100918|title=Ray Charles innovated in business as well as music|last=Mitchell|first=Gail|date=September 17, 2010|work=Reuters|language=en}}</ref>

In the early 1960s, after leaving Atlantic Records to sign with [[ABC Records|ABC–Paramount]], he negotiated for ownership of his own master recordings. He also established his own labels. [[Tangerine Records (1962)|Tangerine]] came first, which evolved into CrossOver Records. As a songwriter, Charles penned nearly 200 songs. He also operated his own publishing companies, Tangerine Music and Racer Music.

On the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], Charles had 80 hits between 1958 (the year the chart began) and 1990, when "[[I'll Be Good to You]]" became his last Hot 100 single, reaching No.&nbsp;18. His biggest hit, "[[I Can't Stop Loving You]]", spent five weeks at No.&nbsp;1 in 1962. He also topped the Hot 100 with the singles "[[Hit the Road Jack]]" and "[[Georgia on My Mind]]".<ref name=":0">{{Cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/music/ray-charles|title=Ray Charles Chart History|magazine=Billboard}}</ref> Among all acts, he charted the third-most singles on the Hot 100; only [[Elvis Presley]] (with 108) and [[James Brown]] (91) had more.<ref name=":1" />

On [[Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs|''Billboard''{{'}}s R&B chart]], Charles had 86 hits, including 11 chart-toppers such as "[[I Got a Woman|I've Got a Woman]]", "[[What'd I Say (song)|What'd I Say (Part 1)]]", "Hit the Road Jack", and "[[You Are My Sunshine]]."<ref name=":1" />

Charles also reached No.&nbsp;1 on the [[Hot Country Songs]] chart in 1985 with "[[Seven Spanish Angels]]", a duet with [[Willie Nelson]]. The single appears on Charles' duets album, ''[[Friendship (Ray Charles album)|Friendship]]'', which reached No.&nbsp;1 on Top Country Albums. His 1962 album, ''[[Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music]]'', became his first album to top the [[Billboard 200|''Billboard'' 200]].<ref name=":1" />

In 1990, Charles had a No.&nbsp;1 on the [[Dance Club Songs|Hot Dance Club Songs]] chart with "I'll Be Good to You", a collaboration with [[Quincy Jones]] and [[Chaka Khan]].<ref name=":1" />
