After moving to the United States from Australia in 1992, Keith Urban went on to become one of country music's biggest stars, earning himself 18 No. 1 singles, millions of album sales, four Grammy Awards, an induction into the Grand Ole Opry and more.

After scoring his first No. 1 in 2000 with "But for the Grace of God," Urban has consistently appeared on the country charts as well as the all-genre Billboard Hot 100, and his willingness to explore new sounds and try new things as an artist has given him a decades-long career that shows no signs of slowing down, with his next album, The Speed of Now Part 1, approaching in September. Scroll through to look back on some of Urban's biggest hits so far.

'Stupid Boy'

Urban earned his second Grammy Award with "Stupid Boy," which was originally recorded by co-writer Sara Buxton. Urban put his take on his 2005 album Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing and won him a Grammy for Best Male Country Vocal Performance.
