2009 Sugarland's Relationship With WalMart Brought Into Question

Kristian Bush of Sugarland visited independent music store Decatur CD in Georgia, after the owner criticized the duo for releasing Live On The Inside exclusively through Walmart. He delivered autographed merchandise for the owner to sell, but no albums.

The exclusive release would go on to be ranked as the 28th best selling album of 2009, while the original non-exclusive release, Love On The Inside, would be listed at #10 for the year. The album featured the singles All I Want To Do, It Happens, Joey and Already Gone.
