The Oak Ridge Boys Honored With 41 Million Album Sales Award

During The Wendy Williams Show

Iconic Group Marks 41st Anniversary

with a Musical Legacy that Still Stands Strong

 

NASHVILLE,
TN (June 18, 2014) – The extensive collection of honors and awards keep
rolling in for The Oak Ridge Boys.  An official RIAA commemorative
plaque certifying Gold, Platinum, and Multi-Platinum album and single
sales has been awarded to the Grammy-winning group in celebration of
more than 41 million album sales worldwide.  A special presentation took
place in New York during the legendary group’s appearance on The Wendy Williams Show.

“We love Wendy Williams and she recently invited us to perform on her
high energy, nationwide show.  While we were there she surprised us
with a plaque recognizing 41 million sales of our albums,” says Oak
Ridge Boys lead singer Duane Allen.

“It is hard to imagine that we have sold 41 million albums and that
doesn’t even count the successful Gospel music days,” adds tenor
vocalist Joe Bonsall.  “It is humbling to know that the music we have
created together has been so well received over all these years.  We are
very blessed but the pressure is on… 41 million albums in 41 years
means we have to sell a million this year to make it 42/42 next year!!!”

The achievement comes in wake of the group’s 41st anniversary and the recent release of the new Boys Night Out
CD (Cleopatra Records).  It’s their first-ever live Country album
featuring all their iconic hits, including “Elvira,” “Y’all Come Back
Saloon,” “American Made,” and “Thank God for Kids.”  The Oaks’ latest
studio CD, It’s Only Natural, is being sold exclusively at
Cracker Barrel Old Country Store® locations for $9.99.  It was chosen
among 12 select albums for Cracker Barrel’s summer music promotion.

The Oak Ridge Boys have launched the summer leg of their 2014 concert tour with nearly 150 shows across North America.
