Data Insight

Three of the eleven tracks name Shelton. The song that made the album, "Home", was written by Michael Buble, Alan Chang and Amy Foster, so the record's best-known track comes from outside country entirely.

Pure BS was released in May 2007 and reissued the following year with a cover of Michael Buble's "Home" as a bonus track. That cover became one of Shelton's biggest singles and the album is certified gold.
