Garth Brooks has overtaken Elvis Presley to become the best-selling solo artist in history. The country star, who shot to fame with 1990's No Fences album, has sold 123 million units in his career, compared to Presley's 118.5 million.

The Recording Industry Association Of America awarded Brooks two Diamond Awards for his albums Seven and Garth Brooks on Monday, in recognition of each albums' sales, which have exceeded 10 million.

The singer, who is married to fellow country star Trisha Yearwood, accepted the awards at his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame.

He says, "This award reflects the magnitude of the country audience and what they can accomplish when they act together."

Still, Elvis did his achievement without the benefit of the internet, Amazon.com and other outlets that Garth has the benefit of.

That's true. Elvis will always be an unforgetable artist. He has a voice like none other and was a total original.

The bargain bins do help. :lol:

I will admit that Garth has a lot of talent, but he is a tad overrated in my opinion. I don't understand all the extreme hype and fascination over him. I mean, he releases a single, and it instantly jumps to #1 the same week. I just don't get it. He's not THAT good.

Elvis is a better singer and remarkable showman. http://img242.echo.cx/img242/9089/elvis0in.gif
