Answer: Tammy Wynette

 "I Don't Wanna Play House" was Tammy's first stand-alone number-one hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, but not nearly her last. She would churn out another fifteen number-ones, plus another three chart-topping duets with George Jones, to whom she was married from 1969-75.

Answer: David Houston

 "You Mean All the World to Me" was David's fourth top hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart. This tune would stay at number one for two weeks, and languish on that chart for a total of 16 weeks.

Answer: Sonny James

 "It's the Little Things" was Sonny's eighteenth single to chart on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart, and his seventh to reach number one.

Answer: Bill Anderson and Jan Howard

 "For Loving You' was Bill and Jan's third effort, and the first to break into the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart's top ten.
Bill scored another number-one hit with duet partner Mary Lou Turner, but that's for another quiz.
