The RIAA just created an award that had never existed before—and the very first recipient is none other than Garth Brooks.

In this solo episode of Garthology, Deb dives into the historic honor of Garth receiving the Recording Industry Association of America's inaugural Artist of a Lifetime Award. Along with the award came another staggering milestone: Garth becoming the first and only artist in history to surpass 200 million certified album sales in the United States.

We'll break down the numbers, the records, the Diamond certifications, and why this recognition feels like the perfect tribute to a career that has never followed the traditional path.

Plus, we'll talk about Garth's acceptance speech, his unforgettable performance, and what this moment means for his lasting legacy.

Was this the greatest achievement of Garth's career? Tune in and decide for yourself!
