2007 Garth Becomes First Artist To Debut At #1

Garth Brooks' "More Than A Memory" becomes the first song to debut at #1 on not only Billboard's country singles list, but on any Billboard chart regardless of genre.

Written by Lee Brice, Billy Montana and Kyle Jacobs, it was Brooks' first single from his The Ultimate Hits collection and his first single in 6 years. It was also Brooks first #1 since 1998's "To Make You Feel My Love"

The song obviously set the record for the highest debut on the chart, but on the country chart the previous record had been set only the week before, by Kenny Chesney who debut at #16 on September 9th with "Don't Blink."

"More Than A Memory" remained the only song to debut in the top spot until August 27th of this year, when Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" debuted at the top of the Hot 100 Chart. Brooks remains the only artist to debut at the top of the Country chart.
