    "Wild One" by Faith Hill

    This song was Hill's debut single off of her first album. It propelled Hill into the spotlight and went to the top of the country charts. It stayed at number one for four weeks straight which was the longest running number one song for a female artist since 1977. Hill went on to sell over 50 million albums and become one of the most successful country musicians of all time.

    "I Swear" by John Micheal Montgomery

    This ballad quickly gained popularity on both the country and pop charts, staying at number one for four weeks on the country lists, then crossing over to the pop charts.  R & B group, All-4-One re-recorded the hit and made it a Billboard Chart topper for them as well.

    "Don't Take The Girl" by Tim McGraw

    This heart-wrenching song will leave you "crying over your beer" as Billboard magazine stated. This was McGraw's fifth single but his first number one hit on the country charts. As a side note and fun fact, sports personality, Brandon Walker, added this song on his list of top country songs of the 90s.

    "She's Not The Cheatin' Kind" by Brooks & Dunn

    Ronnie Dunn wrote this song in  1994 specifically for the duo to perform. This song was the dynamic country music duo's seventh number one hit. To add to the popularity, Brooks and Dunn did a black and white music video that premiered the same year.

    "XXX'S and OOO's" by Trisha Yearwood

    This catchy country song was written by Matraca Berg and Alice Randall. With Randall  co-writing this top county hit, she became the first African-American woman to write a number one country hit. Despite Yearwood's success with this song many critics gave it scathing reviews including Billboard magazine.
