[edit] 2000s "before" 1995?

The 2000s Blue Collar Tour paragraph needs to be moved to follow, not precede, Foxworthy's 1995-99 TV show & standup comic worth. (Or else, indicate the out-of-chron.-order is present for humorus purposes... :') )

[edit] 14 million copies

I would like to see the editor who claimed Foxworthy's album "you might be a redneck if" provide a reliable source for this claim (I have removed the edit). I highly doubt that it sold 14 million, the same as world-wide major pop albums. Foxworthys album was not a major hit outside North America (in Europe it only had resonable sales in the thousands) and it certianly wasn't sitting at #1 in the charts for weeks on end selling like Garth Brooks!. 74.65.39.59 12:15, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

It looks like the person who added that statistic got a bit confused about a claim that Jeff Foxworthy's *total* album sales have topped 15 million copies. I don't have any verification of that fact, but I have seen it mentioned quite a bit.

As for sales of "You Might Be A Redneck If..." specifically, I've seen many places claim it has sold 4 million copies but haven't been able to lock a good source on that. However, the RIAA's website lists it as being certified triple platinum, so that statistic at the very least is good for the main article.70.244.98.222 19:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sub-categories tag removed

I added sub-categories to this article (and made some other minor improvements); after assessing, I removed the tag. ProfessorPaul 03:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Books

I was going to change the current works section and do a new subsection on his books as there are Lots of his books missing from this page. Anyone have comments/suggestions? Geoff 10 March 2008 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.219.122.88 (talk) 17:01, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
