“A true global icon, Garth’s songs have connected with audiences everywhere, and his influence has paved the way for many of the country stars we celebrate today.”

Brooks remains the best-selling solo artist in US history, certified by the RIAA with 162million album sales
His second LP, 1990’s ‘No Fences’, was the first country album to go multi-platinum. Its 1991 follow-up, ‘Ropin’ The Wind’, became the first country record to top the US pop charts.
His tracks are part of the American songbook, including classics such as ‘If Tomorrow Never Comes’, ‘The Dance’, ‘Friends In Low Places’ and ‘The River’.
Brooks has earned 19 hit singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. Additionally, he was the first artist to achieve top five singles at country radio across five consecutive decades: the ’80s, ’90s, ’00s, ’10s and ’20s.
This year marked the conclusion of his 72-show Las Vegas residency, Garth Brooks/Plus ONE at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
In late 2024, Garth released ‘The Anthology Part IV: Going Home’. Earlier this year, he shared ‘The Anthology Part V: The Comeback, The First Five Years’.
