The 8-disc set, sold exclusively through Walmart and Sam's Club stores, includes 77 songs on six compact discs, plus 33 music videos, and a full-length live performance from the Garth at Wynn residency show in Las Vegas, on two DVDs. Four of the CDs are new studio albums composed entirely of cover songs. The remaining two CDs and the DVD in the set are a reissue of The Ultimate Hits.[2]
Loosely modeled from the set list of his residency show, Garth at Wynn, the albums feature songs Brooks attributes to the development of his unique country pop genre. They were produced by Mark Miller, with additional production from Steve Buckingham on "Shout." Allen Reynolds produced The Ultimate Hits.[3]
The album debuted at number 3 on the Billboard Top 200 chart with 164,000 copies from fewer than four days of sales and reached number 1 in its second week with 146,000 marking his ninth top album on the chart.[4] As of September 10, 2014, has sold 893,000 copies in the United States.[5][6] The RIAA lists individual Platinum certifications for Country Classics(listed as Country Hits in the RIAA database), Classic Rock, The Melting Pot and Blue-Eyed Soul.[7]
