Nashville, TN (August 19, 2009) George Strait’s new release is the top selling album in the U.S. this week proving that music fans everywhere need a little TWANG from the “King of Country.”
TWANG debuted at #1 today on The Billboard 200 and the Top Country Albums chart selling over 155,000 units. This is the fourth time in Strait’s career that a new release has debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart and the 13th time debuting at #1 on the Top Country Albums chart.
The most important development on TWANG can be found in the songwriting credits. Strait’s contributions were a direct result of writing with his son Bubba Strait. “My son’s desire to write really inspired me,” Strait says. “So when I was putting this album together, I knew that I wanted to put some original material on it. That’s something I hadn't done since my second album. I hope the people who buy this record have as much fun listening to it as I had making it.”
Strait co-wrote three songs on TWANG including the debut single, “Living for the Night,” which currently sits at # 7 on Billboard and # 6 on the Mediabase/Country Aircheck chart.
TWANG has already become a critically acclaimed album. It has received rave reviews in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, People, Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Houston Chronicle, The Dallas Morning News, The Boston Globe, Billboard and many more.
