Alan Jackson will perform and receive the first Greatest Hits Award during the AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS, airing live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Monday, Dec. 6 (8:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX.
The Greatest Hits Award is bestowed upon a country music artist whose chart-topping career has generated a vast catalog of number one hits that a greatest hits compilation is not only a necessary tribute to their fans but also recognition for their many contributions to the genre of country music.
"Alan Jackson is the consummate hit maker whose countless number of chart-topping songs can be heard every day on radio stations across the country," said Bob Bain, Executive Producer. "Jackson has written and performed many of country music’s most recognizable songs and it only seemed fitting that he receive the inaugural award."
Over the past 20 years, Alan Jackson has become one of the most successful and respected singer/songwriter in music. A 16-time award winner at both the CMA and ACM Awards, Jackson is also a GRAMMY-honored songwriter, with career sales of more than 50 million albums. His current album "34 Number Ones," is a career-spanning, double-disc collection featuring all of Jackson’s #1 hits to date, including the recent chart-topping smash, "As She’s Walking Away," by Zac Brown Band featuring Alan Jackson. "34 Number Ones" also contains Jackson’s newest single, "Ring of Fire," a fresh take on a Johnny Cash classic.
Hosted by Trace Adkins, AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS is the only country music awards show that gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite artists not only in traditional categories but also in previously unrecognized areas of the business such as touring, encompassing the entire spectrum of country music and bestowing honors that no other awards show has.
