Jessica Simpson’s New Release Debuts No. 1 On Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart
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.

Belt in video
Where can I get one - from the Come on Over Video - who makes it?
I am so proud and a huge fan~!!~!~
I just have to tell you how proud I am. I know that must sound crazy because I don't even know you, but it just seems to me that you have come so far and done it all in the public eye, which i cannot even imagine! I am a California girl, who has been living in Texas for three years now. I have always only listened to Country. I just grew up on it. I have always listened to your music though. Your personality and spirit shine in your music and it is truly inspirational. I love your new cd. It is amazing. Congrats on all your success!
LOVE THE NEW CD
OMG!!! LOVE THE ALBUM!!!
I NEVER REALLY LIKED COUNTRY, BUT I LOVE YOUR COUNTRY MUSIC!!!!!
its actually amazing !!!! i listen to your cd non stop everywhere i go !!!!
the lyrics are soo relatable and soooo meaningful
i LOVE it!!!!
LOVE YOU
XOXO STEPH XOXO
Please release "Remember That" it should be the next big hit!!!!
All of the songs on this CD are great, but one in particular speaks to a lot of different people and could give strength to those that need it. I think that the topic is not spoken of enough and as someone that has been through an abusive relationship I loved this song. I hope that "Remember That" will be her next release. If anyone has not heard this song I would hope that you will listen to it and pass it on to anyone that needs the message she is sending.

I'm happy for you!!
Congrat Jess~~~~!!!!! FINALLY!!! You deserve it!!! Oh and I'm listening to your album now!!!!! woot woot!!! my fav song is "your my sunday" amazing!!!!!
Hi Jess
I stumbled upon your images, then lead to Tony Romo etc...googled. I dont watch much TV, i spend more time on computer and working. I just want to let you know I'am your biggest fan and YOU are way way prettier than Carrie, and can sing better as well.
For some reason, i never liked Carrie from the get go, i dont know why...i have nothing againts her and she means good im sure. Thats just me., I always liked Jess even when she hit it big way back then.
Do you know
OMG this album is amazing, my favorites are Remember that and Do you know. I was abused by a man, verbally so it hit home for me and dedicated Do You Know to my wonderful husband Danny.. On GAC when Jess was in there I feel in the love with Dolly's new song, Jesus and Gravity I ran right out and bought the album and I also love Willy Nelsons video it was so funny.. Keep em coming Jessica I am so proud of you and honored to be a huge fan.. I'll see you at the Texas State Fair I can't wait to see you there, you have been such a good role model to my daughter who is 17 and will be at the concert to, she is so excited anyway thanks for that, waiting until marriage to have sex, I can't imagine how hard that must of been I mean Nick is a hotty and so are you.. Sorry to bring him up, by the way. I think you and Tony are so cute together, I hope all your dreams come true girl, you deserve it. Congrats on the move to Texas, I hope you know by saying no comment we all knew that was a big YES, I am glad I would like to see you out of LA, I love home in LA it's just my kinda house but your from Texas and I think you deserve to be away from the paps they are miserable, I saw them chasing Britney Spears in NY, gosh the poor kid couldn't see and damn thing due to the camera flashes, I felt bad for her and I would hate that I saw them chasing you in a parking garage with your mom, I bet thats kinda scary too.. Well I'm done yammering, God bless you Jessica, and please come out and say hi and do a meet and greet and autographs at the TX state Fair I am Shannon Nemmers, so holler out to me, LOL like that will happen but it would be a dream come true for me..
Much love, Shannon
Congratulations Jessica !
Congratulations on the Number 1 spot - I really hope you can overcome the bias in the Country music world against people who dare to appeal to other musical genres - Shania Twain had the same problems !!!
You've made a fantastic album and I wish you every success in the future.
ps When you do tour - come and tour in England as well !!!
Love
Barry
Your Album
Well I have to say you won me over with your country album..never really a big fan, I was truly shocked. I have it on my Ipod and it enjoy it at the gym. Just one piece of advice..dont be so animated when you sing live, (head bobbin,mouth animated) I couldnt watch "The View" performance.. keep yourself still and let the emotions come through in your eyes, to win country music fans over they need to see that. Other than that, You get a 5star for the album..Congrats.
welcome home
You made a believer out of me, Jessica. My daughter and I use hairbrushes n lip sync to ur sexy, pouty and commanding Come on Over! You won my husband over, 2. that is no easy feat! good job. welcome home 2 country music. xoxo
