George Strait, Taylor Swift and Shania Twain have earned top certifications from the RIAA for music released between 2000 and 2009. With 29, George has the most gold and platinum certifications. 25 was enough for Taylor to top the list of the most digital song certifications. Her "Love Story" also tied with Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" for highest-certified digital song by a female artist. It reached quadruple platinum for 4 million paid downloads. 11 million shipped means 11-times platinum for Shania's 2002 album, Up! - the highest-certified album by a female artist. In addition, the Eagles were recognized for having the most total certifications, with 48 cumulative album, digital song, master ringtone and music video certifications.
Where’s Jimmy? In Oklahoma. Jimmy Wayne has crossed the state line from Arkansas to Oklahoma in his effort to walk halfway across the continental U.S. Jimmy started his journey January 1st in Nashville, and arrived in Oklahoma early Tuesday night. So far, he has completed 530 miles of the approximately 1,700-mile walk for his Meet Me Halfway campaign to raise awareness of homeless teens and young adults. With breaks and time-outs from the walk to play gigs around the country, Jimmy travels approximately 20 miles per day in his walk to Phoenix.
