Jessica Simpson Scores A #1 Album

On the Billboard Country Music Chart
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

Congratulations are in order for Jessica Simpson this week … her just released first-ever Country Music album, Do You Know, has debuted atop the Billboard Country Music Chart and comes in at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart:


Jessica Simpson has good reason to celebrate. The pop star-turned-country crooner’s new album, Do You Know, debuted at the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. It also secured the No. 4 spot on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart today. “I’m extremely touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to the album,” says Jessica. “There is so much honesty and raw emotion in there. And, I’m just thrilled that country fans are giving it a chance!”

I think congrats are definitely in order! We all know that Jessica Simpson is not used to enjoying success at the top of the Billboard charts so this is quite an accomplishment. I think Jess has really found her niche … three cheers for Jessica Simpson: Country star!

If you are lucky enough to live in the greater Niagra Falls area, you can catch Jessica’s second show at Fallsview Casino tonight. It was very nice of Jessica’s aunt Myrtle to lend her this lovely dress for her casino performance. Incidentally, Jessica will be gracing the Detroit area next month by performing a show at Caesar’s Palace Casino in Windsor, Canada … get your tix while you can! After the jump, get your first listen to Jessica’s new album Do You Know …
