Garth Brooks

Garth Brooks was born in Tulsa Oklahoma on February 7 1962. He signed with Capitol Records and released his self-titled first album in 1989 which was a success. His third album Ropin’ the Wind was the first country album to debut at No. 1 on the pop charts. Brooks has made a number of albums since selling more than 100 million in all. He retired in 2000 but began performing again in 2009. Brooks got his start in music singing in bars and clubs while attending Oklahoma State University. In 1987 he moved to Nashville for the second time-- his first attempt was unsuccessful-- with his wife Sandy to try to make it in country music. With help from music manager Bob Doyle Brooks made early hits such as If Tomorrow Never Comes and The Dance. Although sales for Brooks's first album Garth Brooks were strong it would have been hard to predict the amazing success Brooks's releases would later achieve. His second effort No Fences sold more than 700000 copies in its first 10 days on the market. His third Ropin' the Wind racked in a record-breaking 4 million orders before its release and became the first album by a country singer to debut at No. 1 on the Billboard pop charts. His 1998 release Garth Brooks Double Live sold over one million copies in its first week of sales breaking the previous record. To date Brooks has sold more than 100 million albums in his career.
