Comments
And we need another awards show why?
Once again Tim Mcgraw gets the shaft. Pollstar just released the Top Ten tours of the year up till now and Tim Mcgraw is not only in the Top Ten in all of music he is #1 in Country. The guy with less time and less radio support sold more of his album than Brad's album that came out almost 5 months before Tim's. Sold more than Reba's, George's, Toby's and many more. Luke Bryan what has he done, his album has not even sold 1/2 million, he didn't headline a big tour.
Tim also was in a movie that was HUGE, made over 250 million at the box office. he also while touring filmed another movie in Nashville that comes out in December. SHAME ON FOX AND THE COUNTRY INDUSTRY FOR IGNORING TIM AND NOT GIVING HIM NO CREDIT. By the way it wad Tim that sold the most albums in the last decade, not Kenny, not Toby even though they put out more albums. It was Tim that was the most played artist in ALL OF MUSIC last decade and msot played song in all of music. SHAME ON COUNTRY MUSIC ANF FOX. BY the way Carrie Underwood didn't even come close in drawing as amny fans on her tour as Tim.
You can go to heck FOX I won't be watching.
