| | | | | List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Bay City Rollers - Legacy Some consider the Bay City Rollers to have been a prototype for, or early example of, the boy band. Others state that the group was not manufactured and were individual musicians in their own right (though some dissagree as they were put together with auditions by their record company). Also, they openly admitted that, like certain other groups of the time, they did not play on their early hits; in particular, during the early years, some session musicians were used on the band's recordings because of their tour schedule. However the group itself was composed of genuine musicians who played live ...

| | | | | List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Westlife - History Westlife was formed in July 1998, with the members Shane Filan, Kian Egan, Mark Feehily, Nicky Byrne, and Bryan McFadden.
The bands' origins are in Sligo in northwest Ireland, where Filan, Egan, and Feehily were in a six-member vocal group named IOU, which put out a single called "Together Girl Forever". They were then discovered by Louis Walsh (who was contacted by Filan's mother), the manager of 1990s boy band Boyzone, but did not meet Simon Cowell's approval for a record deal with BMG, so changes were needed. The other three member ...

| | | | | | List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Bill Haley - Film portrayals Unlike his contemporaries, Bill Haley has rarely been portrayed on screen. Following the success of The Buddy Holly Story in 1978, Haley expressed interest in having his life story committed to film, but this never came to fruition. In the 1980s and early 1990s, numerous media reports emerged that plans were underway to do a bio-pic based upon Haley's life, with Beau Bridges, Jeff Bridges and John Ritter all at one point being mentioned as actors in line to play Haley (according to Goldmine Magazine, Ritter attempted to b ...

| | | | | | List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Garth Brooks - The success begins Garth Brooks' eponymous first album was released in 1989 and was both a critical and chart success. It peaked at #2 in the US country album chart and made #13 on the Billboard 200 pop album chart. Most of the album was traditionalist country, influenced in part by George Strait. The first single ahead of it was "Much Too Young To Feel This Damn Old", a country top 10 success. It was followed by his first well-known song, "If Tomorrow Never Comes", which was his first country #1 and is still considered one of his best-crafted efforts. "Not Co ...

Garth Brooks - Used CDs.
In 1993, Garth Brooks, who had criticized music stores which sold used CDs since it led to a loss in royalty payments, persuaded Capitol Records not to ship his album In Pieces to stores which engaged in such practices. This led to several anti-trust lawsuits against the record label and ended with Capitol shipping the CDs to the stores after all. [11] Brooks lamented that the record label had "sold out".

It also further propelled the sales of his first two albums, such that he sometimes occupied the top two spots in the pop album chart. Nashville had never imagined that a country artist could become the biggest artist in popular music, but when both record sales and concert attendance were looked at, Garth Brooks was doing just that. Ropin' the ...

| | | | | List of best-selling music artists: Encyclopedia II - Garth Brooks - Chris Gaines In 1999 Brooks launched upon a conceptually ambitious and unorthodox multi-media project. He wanted to star in a thriller film in development called The Lamb that was about an emotionally conflicted fictional pop/rock star named Chris Gaines. He got the role, with Don Was to produce it. To prepare for the film, Brooks then decided to become Chris Gaines, adopting an alter ego look and personality – slimmer, black hair, soul patch, somewhat angst-ridden – and constructing a large back story. Much of this back story had to be ...
