Walmart shift a million box sets

Wal-Mart says it has sold over a million copies of a Garth Brooks boxset sold under an exclusivity deal, though the figures are unverified.

According to US supermarket giant Wal-Mart, they have shifted over a million copies of the Garth Brooks boxset that they are selling as part of their exclusivity deal with the country star. That follows claims the by the supermarket that they sold 500,000 copies on the first day of sale. Some are skeptical about these figures, because they aren't independently validated, but it does seem the Brooks partnership has created considerable sales for both Wal-Marts instore music departments and their digital music store.

Elsewhere in Garth Brooks news, he has married fellow country star Trisha Yearwood. They got hitched at a private ceremony at their home in Oklahoma, which contrasted with Garth's proposal - which came in front of 7000 fans at a concert in California back in May.
