Miranda Lambert’s sixth studio album The Weight of These Wings is now certified PLATINUM–which means more than a million copies have been sold! Miranda released her latest album on November 18th, and since then it has landed in the number-one spot on the Billboard Country Albums Chart, and number-three on the Billboard Top 200 all genre chart. Critics have been raving about The Weight of These Wings since day one, and the fans have listened and loved it too! The Weight Of These Wings which has received multiple Grammy nominations, multiple ACM Award nominations, including winning Album Of The Year at the ACM Awards, features songs like “Vice,” “We Should Be Friends” and her current single from the double album, “Tin Man.” When it came to naming the double album, which contains 24 songs, Miranda turned to her dad to come up with the title for the project, “The Weight of These Wings was a line my dad said to me…He’s a songwriter, he’s not written a song in probably 9 years now…but he mentioned the line to me one time at a show and it just stuck with me. It just felt really big and someways heavy and someways light, you know, it sort of makes you think about a lot of things just that one sentence. And so, we tried to write the song a few times and nothing really came of it and it just sort of going through this record process felt like it would tie everything together, being 24 songs I needed a title that would sort of round out the edges I guess, and The Weight Of These Wings felt right.” You can watch Miranda’s powerful performance of her single “Tin Man” from this year’s ACM Awards at Miranda Lambert dot com, or you can just click HERE
