Russell Dickerson names Shania Twain on his country‑music Mount Rushmore and scores double‑platinum hit
Country singer Russell Dickerson was asked to name his personal "Mount Rushmore" of country music. He selected Garth Brooks, George Strait, Shania Twain—calling her choice controversial because she has only seven No. 1 songs—and Tim McGraw as his four picks.
Dickerson’s single “Happen to Me” has been certified double‑platinum, indicating sales of more than two million units.
He also announced a partnership with Hershey to celebrate National S’mores Day on August 10, describing himself as “Team Gooey” in a promotional interview.
Separately, country legend George Strait sold his 7,925‑square‑foot mansion in Texas, a property on 12.2 acres that was listed for $6.9 million; the final sale price was not disclosed.
