“Target has always been a friend to artists and their music. I
can’t begin to describe how excited I am to be partnering with
them,” said Brooks. “This holiday season is going to be amazing
with a new album, plus a boxed set with never-before-released music
from the vault and music you can’t hear or get anywhere else.”
“Simply put, Garth is in a league of his own. He is
unquestionably one of the most accomplished and celebrated
musicians, with a fan base that spans all ages and genres,” said
Mark Tritton, executive vice president and chief
merchandising officer, Target. “We’re thrilled to welcome Garth
into the Target family, and are confident that the boxed set we’ve
created with him, which we’ll offer for an unbeatable value, will
be at the top of many wish lists this holiday season.”
This exclusive boxed set with Brooks continues Target’s legacy
of partnering with world-class musicians to give fans more music
and access to their favorite artists. This includes partnering with
Gwen Stefani to deliver a show-stopping live commercial moment
during the 2016 GRAMMY® Awards broadcast on CBS, which served as
her video for the hit song “Make Me Like You.” In 2015, Target
partnered with Adele on a campaign to give fans a sneak peek of
tracks from her album, “25,” through seven captivating commercial
spots prior to the album’s release. The record-breaking album sold
one million copies at Target in the first 10 days following its
launch.
