It was first released on July 22, 2008 as a Deluxe Fan Edition, including five bonus tracks, with the regular edition following one week later. The album has produced three chart singles in "All I Want to Do", "Already Gone" and "It Happens", all Number One hits on the ''Billboard'' country singles charts. The fourth single, "Joey", reached Top 20. The release of the fifth single "Keep You" was cancelled. It is also the first album of the duo's career to reach Number One on Top Country Albums and The Billboard Top 200.
The album has been certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA with sales of over 2 million copies in the U.S. - Wikipedia
After Sugarland's first two albums hit it big on the country charts, 2008's LOVE ON THE INSIDE is the duo's breakthrough into the pop mainstream. Featuring the first single, "All I Want To Do," LOVE ON THE INSIDE mixes traditional country, singer-songwriter folk-rock, and commercial pop in a slick but ingratiating package. Other highlights include second single "Already Gone" and the mythologizing "Steve Earle." LOVE ON THE INSIDE was released both as a standard CD and as an expanded special edition that features five bonus tracks, including a live cover of the Dream Academy's 1985 alternative rock hit "Life In A Northern Town," featuring guest appearances by Jake Owen and Little Big Town, which was a surprise country radio hit in early 2008.
