Let's Hear It For America!

I feel a little better about things today:

From a press release:

Dixie Chicks' latest album debuts at number one

As Taking The Long Way debuts at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 best-selling albums chart this week, with first week's sales of 525,829, the Dixie Chicks have become the first female group in chart history to have three albums debut at #1, breaking the record the Chicks established in 2002 when the group's last studio album, Home, debuted at #1 and made them the first female group ever to have two albums debut at #1.

With the #1 debut of Taking The Long Way, the Dixie Chicks have also become the first female group in chart history to have three studio albums occupy the #1 slot on the Top 200.


GT12 is too humble to take credit for this of course, but it feels good to know that some sort of bravery in this country isn't punished.
