Bocephus Owns The Charts – Today In Country Music History [VIDEO]

The Charlie Daniels Band’s album A Decade of Hits was certified quadruple platinum. The album was released in 1983 and featured hits from Daniel's career through that point, including "The Devil Went Down To Georgia", "In America" and "Still in Saigon"

Garth Brooks’ The Hits was certified multi-platinum for sales of 9 million copies.

The Hits is the second compilation album and first wide-released greatest hits album from Garth Brooks. Brooks first greatest hits album, The Garth Brooks Collection, was released three months earlier exclusively at McDonald's restaurants for a limited time to raise money for the Ronald McDonald Children's Charities.

The Hits was released on December 13, 1994 and was quickly deleted at Brooks' request. This was due to Brooks' views for whole record sales, instead of albums of singles. He insisted it only be available for a limited time, but not before it sold well over ten million copies. The Hits debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, and Top Country Albums. In June 1995, the master was buried under Garth’s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Garth Brooks’ No Fences was certified platinum. With more than 17 million copies sold, it would go on to become one of the best-selling albums in country music history.

It was the first album released by Brooks in Europe and featured "The Thunder Rolls" , "Friends in Low Places", "Unanswered Prayers" and "Two of a Kind, Workin' on a Full House"

Johnny Cash’s album Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison was certified gold.

Backed with June Carter, Carl Perkins and the Tennessee Three, Cash performed two shows at Folsom State Prison in California on January 13, 1968. The resulting album consisted of fifteen tracks from the first show and two tracks from the second.

Bob Wills held his first recording session for MGM music.
