Target making bad decisions? You don't say!
What do politics have to do with anything? Garth Brooks was a massive crossover hit, one of the best-selling artists of all time and known to have at least some liberal politics. The biggest idiocy to this is that it seems very untimely, since Garth isn't the name he once was.Yeah, Shipwreck RT my picutures- my Target in New Jersey has over 200 of them strewn throughout the store
I'm sure there are parts of the country where this sold just fine, and Target is a national chain, but maybe you shouldn't be sending hundreds of country CDs to states that voted for Hillary?
It would've been brilliant if it was 1997.
The Chris Gaines jokes in here are slaying me.
I was just in 2 yesterday in Minneapolis and didn't see any of these. I don't even know who the guy is, though.
You were in 2 different Targets on the same day?
He's the guy who ruined country music by modernizing it in the '90s.What is a Garth Brooks?

I'd say 2007. His hits collection sold like gangbusters back then. A 10 disc collection for 30 bucks might be enticing to those fans lol!
I actually bought the Chris Gaines album for $1.50 a while back. I still haven't actually listened to it, but I'm curious to hear it after all these years.
first one was out of bananas
Also, I didn't know Garth Brooks was still around.

Yeah, I think you probably could of gotten away with something like this in 07, because it seemed a lot of "legacy" artists hadn't yet embraced iTunes yet. Granted they were holdouts for sure and only the most dedicated fans would buy the sets, but it still mafr some business sense, now though...
He "retired" for a good number of years to be with his family. He put out his last album before retiring in 2001, and didn't come back with a new album until 2014.
I had never heard of this guy until I was looking through some highest selling artist lists.
He has 160 million album sales, but 135 million of those are in the US.
I'm so glad country music was never really a big thing in Australia.
Backstory: Every week, Shipwreck from Cheap Ass Gamer goes to Target and posts images of the clearance deals they have. Last week, he noticed that they had copies of the recent Garth Brooks boxset. Alot of copies. Like dozens.
That got the ball rolling....
Now it's turned into a thing, with people posting image after image from their local Targets of this fiasco. Every location has at LEAST 50 copies, with some people reporting a couple hundred. How much money did Target invest in this, and how much are they going to
lose? It's rather mind-boggling. Shipwreck himself just posted that if every Target has 50 copies of this at MSRP that's 2.5 million bucks of product.
Post your Garth photos! I'll get the ball rolling, and rope me in if old.
Sorry, have trouble direct image posting on mobile.
Who would even buy that?
somebody should buy all of them and do something like this:

would be a good scene in a horror movie if somebody came to rob a house and opened a door to find a room full of Garth Brooks boxsets.
