 Lonestar has sold over 10 million albums and has had 10 No. 1
country hits as well as nine Top 40 songs on the pop charts,
including "No News," "Come Cryin' to Me" and their smash "Amazed,"
which spent eight weeks at the No. 1 spot on the country charts as
well as reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The dual win made
them the first country act since Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton's
"Islands in the Stream" in 1983 to accomplish this career milestone.
Lonestar first charted in late 1995 with the single "Tequila Talkin,'"
the first of 27 singles on the country charts.Three of their albums have been certified gold, while three more
have been certified platinum or higher.
The band recently finished their 10th album, "Party Heard Round
the World." Since they personally wrote eight of the album's 10
songs, this meant that Lonestar fans would get a firsthand look into
the hearts and minds of the group. Each song, from the anthemic
title track to the show-stopping "You're The Reason," reveals the
personalities, emotions and inspirations that collectively and
individually make the band who they are.

again this year.
