Q: In 1995, this singer buried the masters to one of his albums under a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
A: Garth Brooks, “The Hits”
From Taste of Country: In 1995, Brooks took some particularly extreme precautions to make sure The Hits album was never available again. When his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was revealed on June 30, 1995, he shared that the masters to the record were buried deep in concrete below it. The greatest hits collection made history on Aug. 13, 1995, when it became the first album by a country artist to be certified for selling seven million copies. It went on to sell 10 million copies, but it will never reach 11 million.
Congratulations to today’s Smartest Hoosier Ever, Tammy Burton of Whiteland who will see Travis Tritt in concert at the Morgan County Fair a week from tonight.
