JIMMY BUFFETT "CHILLS" AT TOP OF BILLBOARD CHART
DEBUTS AT #1
First-week Sales Highest in Career History
Nashville, TN - Margaritaville's own Jimmy Buffett enjoys the biggest chart week and first #1 record of his 25+ year career with the release of his latest album, the Country/Caribbean License To Chill. The collection, which features duets with some of country's biggest stars including Alan Jackson, Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Toby Keith, Martina McBride and Clint Black among others, has struck an obvious chord with listeners, with sales of 238,597 in its first week of release. License to Chill sits atop the Billboard Internet Album Sales chart as well.
The album's debut single, "Hey Good Lookin'," the old Hank Williams chestnut, features Buffett with Jackson, Chesney, Strait, Keith, and Black, and is currently moving toward the top of the charts (#7 R&R, #8 Billboard). It helped propel first-week sales, along with the song's colorful video, which recently world-premiered on CMT and is in Hot Shot (super heavy) rotation.
Critics are hailing the album as one of Buffett's best. From the Boston Globe: "The many duets on License to Chill represent some of the best music of Buffett's career. The CD also features some exquisite ballads that he sings by himself. It's a true Buffett record." From the Miami Herald, after quoting some lyrics from the song, "Simply Complicated": "Nothing complicated about enjoying this disc. How about Volume II?"
Fans can catch Buffett and his License To Chill on the road this summer when he hits Chicago August 26th and 28, Cincinnati August 31, Pittsburgh September 2, Jones Beach, NY September 4, Fenway Park in Boston September 10 and 12, Las Vegas October 16 and 23 and San Diego October 20.
