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.

We love you Jessica!
I am always trying to get radio stations to play her songs. I wish she was still with Tony Romo. They made such a cute couple.

I don’t think I have actually ever joined an artist page/fan page. I have always been a huge fan of music, but I never took the time to join or blog on their music page. Today I was sitting at work, bored b/c all my friends are attending Derby festivities and I’m stuck here at my desk. I logged on to my Project Playlist and began thinking of songs to add. I wanted to listen to some music that would get me in an upbeat happy mood, so I browsed my mind thinking back on what I call, “girl songs.” I’m sure everyone knows what kinds of songs I’m talking about i.e. old Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Jessica Simpson. For some reason when Jessica Simpson came to mind I began to think about all the terrible things that have been said about her in the media. Here is where I stand on the media’s remarks regarding Jessica Simpson and many other stars. It’s one thing if you do not like someone’s choice of craft, we all enjoy different types of art and we are free to make this choice. Attacking someone’s person is on a totally different level. It seems that today’s world has made it incredibly easy to pry into people’s personal life. With that said, celebrities have to accept the fact that the media will always be there and gossip mags will continue to be published, but it seems that our society has taken it to a substantially different level. Now when you turn on CNN flashing across the bottom of the screen is a celebrity divorce or a celebrity’s newest plastic surgery. What does that say for our society’s focus and the focus of our future generation?
How does it affect you that so and so gained or lost weight? I just have to laugh at the male gossip reporters that slew comments about a female celebrity’s weight. Hello!! Being a normal 24 year old girl I can tell you that my weight has always fluctuated as has my sisters and my mom’s. Women’s bodies are different then men’s bodies. Our bodies male or female grow and change at different speeds. I was very inspired to see the pictures of Jessica Simpson with a more womanly figure and the un-edited pictures of Kim Kardashian. Those are the types of pictures that slap the weight loss drink and piece of celery out of your hand and bring you back to reality. Celebrities are just people who have mastered a certain art of entertainment. They are who they are and we are who we are. We are all people. It’s like when I go to the salon and bring a picture of a certain haircut or style that I want. After leaving the salon my hair never looks exactly like the picture. There might be a near close resemblance, but it will never be the exact same. God made us that way. So stop trying to emulate someone other then yourself. Just think, the richest most popular person in the world couldn’t look exactly like you. Respect the fact that celebrities like Jessica Simpson; have not fallen into the stereotypical image of Hollywood!!
Peace and Love
Jessica Simpson purses
I bought one of Jessica Simpson's purses. I had a lot of great compliments on it. The size and color was great. I fell in love with it.
BUT ........ I have only had the purse for a couple of months. IT IS FALLING APART. It is an expensive purse $100 + . With the economy being bad, I thought if I bought a quality product it would last a long time. WRONG. It is coming apart where the purse straps meet the purse.
BUYER BEWARE.
jessica is sexy
i just listened to your album today and i just wanna say how adorable and sexy you are, i love your voice and i look forward to buying more of your albums in the future, i even have your ringtone. take care girl and wish you all the best xoxoxo

its all good
Not a fan, but...
I live in Grand Rapids MI and just wanted to say , while I am not a fan I respect who you are. I hope our city didn't make you feel unwelcome after your performance. Things happen sometimes, you're human too and subject to life. You're a beautiful woman.
Keep your Heart joyful and pray all the time.
Janice
THE MAJOR PORTION OF THE US THINKS YOUR GREAT JUST AS YOU ARE!

hi

Regarding the news/Chili cookoff
I wanted to let you know I was at the chili cookoff in the front row. I thought you looked great. The media is so cruel. I was disgusted like your sister. I also wanted to let you know on my way home the next day listening to KISS country a lot of the people that were there thought including me we didn't get to give you a good send off because the speakers went out and we couldn't hear the last part of the song or what you said after that. Everyone loved you and I just wanted to let you know that if you felt we didn't give you that good of a send off. Good luck with country music. I think you will do really well.
Denise

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
super album
well ....what do i say that no one else has hmmm. your voice on this cd is much stronger and more solid because i think your just so comfortable singing country . your duet with 'dolly parton' is amazing your voice reaches notes i never thought possible , hats off to you girl .... much more success !!
