(NASHVILLE, 27 DEC 97) -- The Roughstock Network (http://www.roughstock.com/) announced their 1997 Single and Album of the Year awards today, the third year that Roughstock has conducted the fan-voted awards. George Strait finished a banner 1997 by taking 2 of the top 3 spots on the singles chart and earning the top album award. "Carrying Your Love With Me," the title track from his multi-platinum album edged out Tim McGraw and Faith Hill's smash summer hit for top honors. "One Night At A Time," from the same album, landed the #3 single of the year. With two top 10 singles, "Carrying Your Love With Me" easily captured the top album award for the year.
"Carrying Your Love With Me," the title track from his multi-platinum album, spent 4 weeks at #1 and 9 of 13 in the Top 10 on the Roughstock Country Countdown. Tim McGraw and wife Faith Hill also spent 13 weeks on the RCC Chart and 4 at #1 in finishing second this year. The Single of the Year award is Strait's second. He also won in 1996 for "Blue Clear Sky." Strait's "Carrying Your Love With Me" album, certified double-platinum in August, carried the 1997 Album of the Year awards on the strength of the title track, and the #3 single for 1997, "One Night At A Time." Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, and Deana Carter also produced Top 10 albums in 1997. For the second time in 3 years, MCA Nashville was the #1 label, charting two of the Top 5 singles, and 3 of the Top 10 albums.
