JIMMY BUFFETT'S LICENSE TO CHILL EARNS PLATINUM CERTIFICATION

Nashville, TN - Jimmy Buffett has had a lot to celebrate lately. His RCA Records Nashville album, License To Chill, which debuted at #1, has spent the five weeks since its release at the top of the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart, and has been the top seller at Amazon for the same time period. His debut single from the project, "Hey Good Lookin'," was a Top 10 country hit. And now License to Chill has been certified Platinum by the RIAA.

Rolling Stone recently featured Buffett in its September 2 issue. The piece looks at his beginnings in Nashville, as well as the exciting recording sessions at his studio in Key West, and the impetus for making License to Chill.

The new single from the album, "Trip Around The Sun," arrived at radio stations last week and is already the highest debut on both the Billboard (Hot Shot @ #45) and R&R (#40) charts. The song features guest vocals by the reigning CMA and ACM Female Vocalist Martina McBride.

Based on cartmill's extensive research in the previous thread, LTC is the fastest album to go platinum for him. Congratulations Jimmy, you deserve it!

oh ok. Sorry for posting old news. When I got the press release this afternoon this was the first place I came, and I didn't see it in the news section.

By the way, I can't for the life of me figure out how to post news (or in this case, old news) in the news section, so thanks to the mod who put it in the right place for me.
