Nashville, TN September 17, 2008- Epic/Columbia Nashville's Jessica Simpson is celebrating her incredible country debut with the release of Do You Know soaring to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart and securing the No. 4 spot on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart today. Not to mention, her album was the No. 1 title on iTunes for all genres on 9/10 and the track “Remember That” is one of the best selling country songs with over 20,000 downloads this week. “Remember That” will be the follow-up single to her latest hit “Come On Over.”

Simpson heard the amazing news following her most recent stop in Salt Lake City, Utah. “I’m extremely touched by the overwhelmingly positive response to the album,” she comments. “There is so much honesty and raw emotion in there, showing who I really am … and I’m just thrilled that country fans are giving it a chance!”

Now, talk about excitement, Simpson was in the Salt Lake City area to pay a visit to Weber High School, the winner of KUBL’s radio contest. Weber High students sent 571,795 text messages to defeat Fremont High with 324,633 and Lehi with 108,720 to earn a visit from the superstar.

The appearances continue as Simpson performs on CBS’ The Early Show this Friday (9/19). Check local listings for airtimes. Also, look for more great ink on Simpson as she is featured in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly and graces the cover of the Oct. issue of Lucky Magazine.

The road continues as Simpson will be playing select fairs and festivals through the end of the summer, with the next tour date at the Los Angeles County Fair on 9/20.

shes so cheesy

"Remember That"

Yay "Remember That" is one of the best songs on the CD! And Im so glad she got her #1

^
Remember That is awsome, I can totally see it damge some charts .

i love remember that. her voice souds so good on the track. congrats jessica. you deserve it.

Congrats to Jessica!

Congratulations.

I like Remember That, although the performance she did for the song was a disaster

I don't like the album, go back to POP!

Come on now, she doesn't want to be irrelevant. This was the perfect change for her.

It suits her voice, definitely. But the songs are very boring. I definitely want another In My Skin album. With the amazing ballads and all that !

I like some of it ... i dont really like country music in general but her cd is pretty good. I prefer her pop stuff but she'll make more of a name for herself in country <3

I feel the same. I don't like country music, I just like some songs. But not too much, too repitiive. I hope she gets fame in Country, but I hope she goes back to pop, like when Jennifer Lopez releases latin albums, and then releases a pop album. Jessica should do that with Country.

Yay it only took 10 years

She'll never touch Carrie. :*

Lady Gaga will never touch Christina? OUT plz.

i didnt even know this cd was out yet lol

Self Centered moron

Like she said on Rachel Ray On Monday. She will never return to pop Music. I Agree with her she's better on Country cause these days POP is ****
