Tim McGraw's latest

Tim McGraw’s second greatest hits package, TIM MCGRAW REFLECTED: HITS VOL 2, has officially been certified double platinum for sales of two million. This brings McGraw’s career total album and single sales to 40 million.

“Tim McGraw is one of the most consistent hit makers in the history of Soundscan,” said Benson Curb, VP Sales Curb Records. “Reaching double platinum is a significant accomplishment in today's world of CD sales. Tim’s continued success is attributable to his unfailing ability to create amazing music. Someone once said ‘To be the best, you have to do it well, again, again and again’ and Tim McGraw continues to do just that---make hit records again and again.”

McGraw, who recently won his 11th CMA award and his first-ever BMI award as a songwriter for the co-penned hit “My Little Girl,” has released eleven albums since 1993, nine of which are now multi-platinum albums. His latest CD, LET IT GO, has sold over one million copies since its release this spring.

Tim McGraw has spent over a decade in the upper reaches of the entertainment world with successful albums, an arm load of awards including 3 Grammys, a critically acclaimed presence in movies (Friday Night Lights, Flicka), a recent new venture by establishing his own label, StyleSonic Records, and recording-breaking tours. The “Soul2Soul” tour, which ended in August of 2007, wrapped a two-year run with a box office gross of $142 million dollars. Billboard Magazine stated the tour established a new record for a multi-year tour in North America in country music history, surpassing Garth Brooks’ three-year run in 1996-1998 of $105 million.
