Elvis’s record of being the best-selling solo artist in history has been broken by country star Garth Brooks, who has taken over the ‘best-selling’ mantle. Brooks has sold 123 million units in his career (Elvis sold 118.5 million). The Crystal Ship, however, could find no one who had actually listened to a whole Brooks’ album. Resident Ship columnist, Spellcheck, when asked if she knew of Brooks, stated, “Isn’t he that yodeling, Western singer?” To the best of my knowledge the 10-gallon-hat-wearing yokel has never yodeled, but I wouldn’t put it past him. Brooks told us (actually he did it, but for all intents and purposes let’s assume that he did), "This award reflects the magnitude of the country audience and what they can accomplish when they act together."
And he’s right too...just look at the Iraq cock-up.
