PLATINUM PROFILE ARTIST: LEE ANN WOMACK

Lee Ann Womack. In total, Womack has issued 6 studio albums, 2 compilation albums, and placed 22 singles on Billboard Country Chart.
After spending several years as a songwriter in Nashville, Tennessee, United States, Womack was signed to Decca Nashville Records and released her self-titled debut album in 1997.[1] Two singles released from the album ("The Fool" and "You've Got to Talk to Me") both reached the #2 spot on the Billboard Country Chart. The album went Platinum and Womack became one of the most popular new female contemporary country artists. Much of her material closely resembled that of 60s and 70s country music artists, such as Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette, and Womack therefore was given high praise by man music critics. In 1998 she released her second album, Some Things I Know, which issued a total of four singles between 1998 and 1999, and eventually the album was certified Gold.
In 2000, Womack released the single entitled "I Hope You Dance," which became her biggest hit and signature song, spending five weeks at #1 on the Billboard Country Chart, and then ultimately crossing over into the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, peaking at #14 and #1 respectively. An album of the same name was also released and sold three million copies in the United States, certifying 3× Multi-Platinum. Her next album released in 2002, Something Worth Leaving Behind, was aimed at the Pop market and was not as successful as her previous records. Womack eventually returned with her fifth studio effort in early 2005 titled, There's More Where That Came From, which was praised for its traditionally-sounding music, winning the Country Music Association's "Album of the Year" award.
After a three-year hiatus, Womack signed with MCA Nashville Records, and released the single, "Last Call" to radio in June 2008, followed by her sixth studio album, Call Me Crazy that October. During the course of her career, 7 of Womack's singles have reached the Top 10, four more reached the Top 20, and two reached #1. In the United States, she has sold a total of nearly 7 million records

PLATINUM PROFILE: LONESTAR

Lonestar is an American country music group consisting of Cody Collins (lead vocals, acoustic guitar), Michael Britt (lead guitar, background vocals), Keech Rainwater (drums) and Dean Sams (keyboards, melodica, background vocals). Collins, who had formerly been in another country group called McAlyster, replaced former lead vocalist Richie McDonald, who left in November 2007 for a solo career. John Rich was also the group's bass guitarist and second lead vocalist until 1998, when he was fired from the group. He left for a solo career, before joining Big Kenny in the duo Big & Rich in 2003. Since Rich's departure, Lonestar has not had an official bass guitarist.
Lonestar made its debut on the Billboard country music charts in 1995 with the Top 10 single "Tequila Talkin'". Since then, they have amassed a total of twenty-seven singles on the country charts, with nine of those singles reaching Number One. Their biggest hit was 1999's "Amazed", a crossover hit that reached Number One on both the country charts and the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the first single to do so since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's "Islands in the Stream" in 1983. The group has also recorded eight studio albums and a Greatest Hits compilation. Three of their albums have been certified gold, while three more have been certified platinum or higher.

Check this out on FAITH HILL's co-star in Stepford Wives

ST. CLAIRSVILLE, Ohio – A judge is set to begin opening arguments in the trial of an Ohio police chief accused of snooping on the woman who carried twins for Hollywood couple Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick.

A jury was seated Monday in the case of Barry Carpenter, who was suspended as chief in Martins Ferry, the eastern Ohio town where surrogate Michelle Ross lived. Carpenter and Police Chief Chad Dojack from nearby Bridgeport are accused of scheming to sell items from the woman's home to celebrity photographers.

A prosecutor says Ross and two photographers are expected to testify in Carpenter's trial.

Carpenter could face 21 1/2 years in prison if convicted on all charges.

Dojack's trial is set for January. Both men have pleaded not guilty.

PLATINUM SELLING PLATINUM PROFILE: AARON TIPPIN

Aaron Dupree((DIDN'T KNOW THIS!!)) Tippin (born July 3, 1958 in Pensacola, Florida[2]) is an American country music artist and record producer. Initially a songwriter for Acuff-Rose Music, he gained a recording contract with RCA Records in 1990. His debut single, "You've Got to Stand for Something" became a popular anthem for American soldiers fighting in the Gulf War and helped to establish him as a neotraditionalist country act with songs that catered primarily to the American working class. Under RCA's tenure, he recorded five studio albums and a Greatest Hits package. By the later half of the 1990s, however, his sales and chart performance began to decline, and he was dropped from the label's roster.
Tippin switched to Lyric Street Records in 1998, where he recorded four more studio albums, counting a compilation of Christmas music. In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, he released the patriotic anthem "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly"; although it was his most successful crossover single, he saw his popularity decline a second time after its release. After parting ways with Lyric Street in 2006, he founded a personal label known as Nippit Records, on which he issued the compilation album Now & Then. A concept album, In Overdrive, was released in 2009.
Tippin has released a total of nine studio albums and two compilations, with five gold certifications and one platinum certification among them. In addition, he has charted more than thirty singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, including three Number Ones: "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio" (1992), "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You" (1995), and "Kiss This" (2000), as well as the Top Ten hits "You've Got to Stand for Something", "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way", "My Blue Angel", "Working Man's Ph.D", "For You I Will", and "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly".

Aaron Tippin was born in Pensacola, Florida, but raised in Travelers Rest, South Carolina, where he went to Blue Ridge High School. In the 1970s, he made a living as a singer, performing in various local bars. He competed on TNN's You Can Be a Star talent contest in 1986, landed a song publishing contract and moved to Nashville in 1987. During this time he wrote songs for The Kingsmen, David Ball, Mark Collie, and Charley Pride. He would spend his nights working at Logan Aluminum in Logan County, Kentucky and spend his days driving 60 miles to Nashville to write songs. He is married to his wife Thea, and with her they have two sons named Teddy and Thomas

Aaron Tippin sign on to Starstruck Entertainment agency division, joining Linda Davis and others. Aaron Tippin's boss was owner of Starstruck Reba Mcentire who would appear in Aaron's 1994 video "Honky Tonk Superman". Aaron parted ways with Starstruck in 1997.

Tippin performed his first Nashville nightclub show in 1990, and it earned him a contract with RCA Records Nashville. His first single, "You've Got to Stand for Something", was released in 1991. The song, with its message of standing up for one's personal beliefs, became popular as an anthem for soldiers fighting in the Gulf War at the time,[3] and reached a peak of #6 on the Billboard country charts. It was also the title track to his debut album, released in late 1991. Certified gold in the United States, the album also produced the #40 hit "I Wonder How Far It Is Over You" and the #54 "She Made a Memory out of Me".
Tippin's second album, Read Between the Lines, was released in 1992. Its first single, the novelty track "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio", became his first Number One hit, spending three weeks at the top of the country charts. Also released from this album were the singles "I Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way", "I Was Born with a Broken Heart" (previously a chart single in 1988 for Josh Logan), and "My Blue Angel", which peaked at #5, #38 and #7, respectively, on the country charts. Read Between the Lines became Tippin's first platinum album.
1993 saw the release of his third studio album, titled Call of the Wild. It produced three straight Top 40 country hits in "Workin' Man's Ph.D.", the title track, and "Whole Lotta Love on the Line", while "Honky Tonk Superman", the final single, failed to make Top 40. One year later, Tippin released his fourth album, Lookin' Back at Myself, which produced the #15 "I Got It Honest" and the minor Top 40 "She Feels Like a Brand New Man Tonight".
In 1995, Tippin married the former Thea Corontzos. Along with his manager, Billy Craven, Aaron and Thea Tippin created Tippin's company, Tip Top Entertainment. Tippin also opened two hunting supply stores called Aaron Tippin Firearms: one in Smithville, Tennessee, and the other was run by his late father, Willis Emory Tippin, in Oak City, North Carolina. (Willis died in 2005.) 1995 also saw the release of Tippin's fifth studio album for RCA. Titled Tool Box, it produced his second Number One country hit in the ballad "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You"; the second single, "Without Your Love", peaked at #22, while the album's last two singles both failed to make Top 40. Like Call of the Wild and Lookin' Back at Myself before it, Tool Box also earned a gold certification from the RIAA.
Tippin's final release for the RCA label, a compilation titled Greatest Hits… and Then Some, was issued in 1996. This album produced two chart singles which both failed to make Top 40, and by the end of the year, he exited the label.

In 1998, Tippin moved to Lyric Street Records, then a newly-formed subsidiary label of the Walt Disney Company. His first single for the label, the #6 hit "For You I Will", served as the lead-off to his 1998 album What This Country Needs and became his first Top Ten hit since "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You". Following it were "I'm Leaving" at #17, "Her" at #33, and the title track at #48.
2000 saw the release of the single "Kiss This". Co-written by Tippin with his wife, Thea, the song went to the top of the Billboard country charts, becoming his third and final Number One hit. It served as the lead-off to his second Lyric Street album, People Like Us, and the David Lee Murphy-penned title track reached Top 20 in 2001. People Like Us was also certified gold.
In the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, he released the patriotic-themed song "Where the Stars and Stripes and the Eagle Fly". His biggest crossover hit, the song reached #2 on the country charts and #20 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was included on his album Stars & Stripes, which was released in early 2002 (following the release of his Christmas album A December to Remember). Stars & Stripes produced three more singles, including the ballad "Love Like There's No Tomorrow", a duet with Thea.
Tippin's last release for Lyric Street was a single entitled "Come Friday", which was slated to be included on an album entitled I Believed. The single peaked at #42 on the country charts, and I Believed was not released; by 2005, he had exited Lyric Street.
In 2006, Tippin formed his own record label, Nippit Records, in a joint partnership with Rust Nashville. His first release for the album, Aaron Tippin: Now & Then, produced the singles "Ready to Rock (In a Country Kind of Way)" and "He Believed", the latter of which peaked at #55 on the country charts. On September 9, 2007, Aaron released a new single called "Drill Here, Drill Now" which was inspired by the "Drill Here" movement led by Newt Gingrich at his American Solutions organization.
Tippin signed to Country Crossing Records in 2008. His first album for the label, In Overdrive, was released in February 2009. This album comprises covers of country songs that have truck driving themes. On Oct.31 2009 he was at the Davey Allison Memorial pARK AT THE INDUCTION CEREMONY IN Talladega , Alabama .

Tippin's singing voice is a baritone, characterized by a nasal Southern twang.[4] His phrasing has been compared to Hank Williams for "the catch in the throat, followed by a sliding moan", as described by Entertainment Weekly reviewer Alanna Nash in her review of Tippin's debut.[5]
Several of Tippin's songs, such as "Workin' Man's Ph.D" and "You've Got to Stand for Something", are mid-tempo anthems that address the working class, and are often patriotic in nature.[2] Occasionally, Tippin records love-themed ballads, such as "That's as Close as I'll Get to Loving You". Other songs of his, such as "There Ain't Nothin' Wrong with the Radio" and "Honky Tonk Superman", are honky tonk-influenced novelties.

This is a JEFF FOXWORTHY story, right here...

OUT OF DULUTH, MINNESOTA
A Minnesota man has pleaded guilty to driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while drunk. A criminal complaint says 62-year-old Dennis LeRoy Anderson told police he left a bar in the northern Minnesota town of Proctor on his chair after drinking eight or nine beers.
Prosecutors say Anderson's blood alcohol content was 0.29, more than three times the legal limit, when he crashed into a parked vehicle in August 2008. He was not seriously injured.
Police said the chair was powered by a converted lawnmower and had a stereo and cup holders.
Sixth Judicial District Judge Heather Sweetland stayed 180 days of jail time Monday and ordered two years of probation for Anderson. His attorney, David Keegan, did not immediately return a call for comment.
"YOU MIGHT BE A REDNECK IF...!!"

PLATINUM PROFILE: KENNY CHESNEY

Kenneth Arnold (Kenny) Chesney (born March 26, 1968) is an American country music artist. Since 1993, Chesney has recorded 13 albums, 11 of which have been certified gold or higher by the RIAA. He has also produced more than 30 Top Ten singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, 17 of which reached Number One. In addition, Chesney has received six ACM (including four consecutive Entertainer of the Year Awards),[1] as well as six CMA awards. Chesney is also one of the most popular touring acts in country music, regularly selling out the venues at which he performs;[2][3] his 2007 Flip-Flop Summer Tour was the highest-grossing country road trip of 2007.[4] He was awarded his 4th consecutive ACM Entertainer of the Year award on May 18, 2008.
Chesney was born in Knoxville, Tennessee, at St. Mary's Hospital on March 26, 1968. His mother Karen, was, and still is, a hair stylist in the Knoxville area. His father, David Chesney, is a former elementary school teacher. Chesney has one sibling, a younger sister named Jennifer Chandler. He was raised in Luttrell, Tennessee, and attended Gibbs High School, where he was a receiver on the football team, and graduated in 1986. The following year, Kenny received his first guitar for Christmas, which he began teaching himself to play. He had previously attempted guitar playing at age 5 but quit because "it hurt his fingers."[5]
Chesney studied in East Tennessee State University in Johnson City, Tennessee, where he joined Lambda Chi Alpha International Fraternity and was member of the ETSU Bluegrass Program. Chesney played tunes at local places around Johnson City like Chucky's Trading Post (a small Mexican restaurant), Quarterbacks BBQ, and Rafters. He recorded his first album in 1989 at Classic Recording Studio in Bristol, Virginia. One thousand copies were produced and Chesney sold them at his busking gigs, using the money from album sales to help buy a new guitar.[6]
In 1990, Chesney graduated from East Tennessee State University with a degree in advertising.[6] After graduation, he headed to Nashville, where he performed at several local clubs. After making the rounds of the music publishers in Nashville, Chesney signed to contract in 1992 with BMI and Opryland Music Group.
In My Wildest Dreams
Chesney's first album, In My Wildest Dreams, was released on the independent Capricorn Records label in 1994. The album's lead-off singles, "The Tin Man" and "Whatever It Takes", both reached the lower regions of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks charts. The album sold approximately 10,000 copies before Capricorn Records closed its country music division that year.[7]
All I Need to Know
After Capricorn's closure, Chesney signed to BNA Records, which released his album All I Need to Know in 1995. The album produced three hit singles: "Fall in Love" and the title track (both of which reached Top Ten), and "Grandpa Told Me So", which peaked at #23.[7] "The Tin Man" was also included on this album, although it was not re-released as a single at the time.
Me and You
Released in 1996, Chesney's second major-label album was Me and You.[7] Although its lead-off single peaked just outside the Top 40 on the country charts, the album's title track (which was reprised from All I Need to Know) and the single "When I Close My Eyes" (which was previously recorded by Larry Stewart on his 1993 debut album Down the Road) both peaked at #2 on the Billboard country charts. Me and You was also Chesney's first gold-certified album.[7] A cover of Mac McAnally's 1990 single "Back Where I Come From" was also included on this album; although Chesney's version was never released as a single, it has become a staple of his concerts.
I Will Stand
I Will Stand, Chesney's third album for BNA, was released in 1997. "She's Got It All", which served as the album's lead-off single, became Chesney's first Billboard Number One single, spending three weeks at the top of the country charts.[7] The album's second single, "A Chance", peaked just shy of Top Ten, while its follow-up, "That's Why I'm Here", went to #2 on Billboard in 1998. ("That's Why I'm Here" reached Number One on Radio & Records, giving Chesney his third Number One overall.) Also in 1998, Chesney recorded a limited-edition single titled "Touchdown Tennessee". The single was a tribute to John Ward, a former broadcaster for the University of Tennessee Volunteers' football team; St. Jude's Children's Hospital and the John Ward Scholarship Fund received a portion of the single's sales.
Everywhere We Go
1999's Everywhere We Go, Chesney's fourth album for BNA, produced two consecutive Number One singles in "How Forever Feels" and "You Had Me from Hello" (the latter inspired by a line in the movie Jerry Maguire).[7] The album also produced two more hits: "She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy" and "What I Need to Do",[7] which peaked at #11 and #8 on the country charts, respectively. Everywhere We Go was also Chesney's first platinum-selling album.[7]
Greatest Hits
By 2000, Chesney released his Greatest Hits compilation.[7] It included four new tracks, as well as re-recordings of "Fall in Love", "The Tin Man" and "Back Where I Come From". The new version of "The Tin Man" was one of the disc's three singles, with two of the new tracks, "I Lost It" and "Don't Happen Twice", also serving as singles.[7]
