He is the only artist to win the Country Music Association’s Horizon Award for Best New Artist, as well as the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award. He’s won five Academy of Country Music Awards, and in just this past year, Urban added an American Music Award and People’s Choice Award to his mantle. His most recent, Defying Gravity, debuted at #1 on both Billboard’s Top 200 (all genre) and Country Album Chart and produced his 10th (“Sweet Thing”) and 11th (“Only You Can Love Me This Way”) #1 singles. Urban’s reputation as an elite songwriter, musician, vocalist and virtuoso guitarist is no more evident than onstage.

The Dixie Chicks are the biggest-selling female group in history, having sold more than 30 million albums. Their first album, “Wide Open Spaces,” is the highest-selling album in history by a country music group and is among the top-100 selling albums of all time. They have won thirteen Grammy Awards and more than four dozen other major awards. Each of their three albums has won the Grammy for Best Country Album of the Year. They are one of a mere handful of acts with multiple albums achieving "diamond" status (meaning sales over 10 million copies) - both WIDE OPEN SPACES (1998) and FLY (1999) hit that stratospheric landmark. Their most recent album, Taking The Long Way debuted at #1 on the Billboard chart. The Dixie Chicks are the first female group in chart history to have three albums debut at #1 and further made music history at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards ceremony when they became the first female group ever to take home the big three top Grammy honors: Song Of The Year, Record Of The Year, and Album Of The Year (for Taking The Long Way). They also won Grammy awards for Best Country Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal and Best Country Album.

The Eagles have sold more than 120 million albums worldwide, earning five #1 U.S. singles and six GRAMMY® Awards.
