![]() ![]() The generic titles of both sets suggest that both albums shouldn't be viewed as anything more than product, since Garth couldn't be bothered to think of an actual title he just called it what it is. The five-disc box The Limited Series was the first in this series, followed by Double Live, Brooks' first live album, in the fall of 1998. To make sure he reached this milestone, Brooks began releasing multi-disc sets, since each individual disc within a set counts as a unit toward the final sales, thereby insuring an inflated sales total. A difficult task, to be sure, but one that was conceivably within Garth Brooks' reach. All that was left was the Holy Grail - toppling the Beatles' status as the best-selling artist of all time. He had already proven himself not only to be the most popular country artist, but he held the record for the most popular male recording artist, demolishing the record held by one of his idols, Billy Joel. As the '90s drew to a close, their most popular artist was hell-bent on shattering all the sales records that laid in his path.
