Dec. 19, 2008 — The Eagles’ album Long Road Out Of Eden ranked as the top country album of the year, according to Billboard magazine, in a list that comes with a bit of a qualifier.

It’s been certified for 7 million in unit sales, and its first single, "How Long," won a Grammy this year for Best Country Vocal Performance by a Duo or Group.

In Country Music Weekly, LROOE is still in the top 30 CDs after being released over one year ago. I don't think any of the other CD have come even close to that.
