Eagles "Long Road Out of Eden" Triple Platinum

From Digital Music News:

The Eagles have now gone triple-platinum on their latest release, Long Road Out of Eden, according to figures released by the RIAA. That is a significant accomplishment for the group, and a validation of a Wal-Mart exclusive distribution strategy. "The album surpassed our expectations in sales from the very first week," said Gary Severson, senior vice president of Entertainment at Wal-Mart. The album was released on October 30th, and scored sales of 711,000 during its debut week.

Listen to the New Eagles Double Album Online

The California rock icons, who produced the best-selling album of all time in the '70s then splintered for over a decade, are back with a vengeance. The Eagles are releasing their first full album of new songs in 28 years, making their awards-show debut on this year's Country Music Association Awards, and distributing their music through their own label.

That burst of activity adds an upbeat coda to a high-flying career that seemed to sour and stall after their 1980 concert tour and last studio LP, "The Long Run." They wryly acknowledged old wounds by dubbing their 1994 reunion tour and album "Hell Freezes Over," the first of several concert laps devoted to the hits that made their first greatest hits compilation the all-time industry champ at 29 million copies.

The new album, "Long Road Out of Eden," resets the band's agenda with an ambitious double CD that confronts both personal and social issues, finding the surviving quartet -- founders Don Henley and Glenn Frey, guitarist Joe Walsh and bassist Timothy B. Schmit -- at the top of their game musically.
