Garth Brooks Trivia Challenge

Yearwood, who also performs on the current tour.

It's a crowd-pleasing third verse. Yet, what the song really needed, of course, was more cowbell.

The Chris Gaines period resulted in one studio album (confusingly dubbed "Greatest Hits") and a lot of head scratching. Still, Brooks was so hot at the time that the album reached double-platinum heights.

Brooks is No. 1 by a mile. He's sold some 136 million albums in the U.S., which is nearly twice as many as his closest country competitor, George Strait.

Brooks worked as a bouncer at a concert venue in Stillwater, Oklahoma, which is where he reportedly met his first wife, Sandy Mahl.

Yeah, we're as surprised as anyone. And it hasn't exactly set the charts ablaze, at least by Brooks' lofty standards, only debuting at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

Batter up! Starting in the late '90s, Brooks had spring training stints with the San Diego Padres, New York Mets and the Kansas City Royals.

No other concert recording is even in the same ballpark, sales-wise, as "Double Live."

Troyal Garth Brooks was named after his father, Troyal Raymond Brooks, Jr.

And how we wish more folks would cover Pure Prairie League.

Despite the amazing competition, Brooks stands as the top-selling solo artist of all time in the U.S.

Yep, that might have been the great Martina McBride who sold you that Garth Brooks concert T-shirt circa 1990.

Brooks has passed everyone on the list except the Fab Four.

The future country star was mighty handy at throwing the javelin.

In 1993, GLAAD (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) recognized the equal-rights anthem, which imagines a time "when we're free to love anyone we choose." Brooks has long shown support for gay and lesbian rights. Notably, he appeared at the Equality Rocks concert in 2000.

Brooks has an amazing half-dozen albums in the Top 10. They are, in descending sales ranking, "Double Live," "No Fences, "Ropin' the Wind," "Garth Brooks," "The Hits" and "Sevens." The four non-Garth offerings are Twain's "Come On Over," "Kenny Rogers Greatest Hits," the Dixie Chicks' "Wide Open Spaces" and Twain's "Up!"

"Are You There, Garth? It's Me, Margaret" is an actual play, addressing the country star's highly publicized canceled shows in Dublin, Ireland. The play opened last month at Dublin's famed Gaiety Theatre.

But it's a bit of a trick question. The accurately titled "Double Live" is indeed a double disc affair. Thus, each copy sold actually counts as two albums in terms of record sales certification. Any way you slice it, though, 21-times platinum is one amazing accomplishment.

Surprise! Here's the rare category that Brooks doesn't own. With 20 million copies sold, "Come On Over" has Brooks' best ("No Fences") beat by some 3 million.

Never heard of it? That's probably because it was credited to Gaines. It reached No. 5 on the pop charts.
