It hit #1 on the Billboard Country music charts and #1 on the Billboard's Pop chart. The album also topped the Country album charts in Britain for several months and crossed over into the mainstream pop charts.
777,777 copies of Sevens were marked as First Editions. These albums have a gold seal on the CD booklet and a similar mark on the CD itself. Canadian versions of the albums have a maple leaf shaped seal on the cover. First Editions were not released outside of North America.
Brooks quoted upon release of the album: "I'm proud, I'm excited, I'm nervous, and it feels good to be back in the game again. This is a very personal album. I only wrote six of the songs, but there are many that are so 'me' that people I work with every day thought I wrote them".
Through 2006, approximately nine million copies have been sold in the U.S. His duet with Trisha Yearwood, "In Another's Eyes", won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals at the Grammy Awards of 1998. Sevens was nominated for the Best Country Album Grammy the following year.
