Tags: country music, mother's dayThis week’s Flashback Friday is Shania Twain’s “You Win My Love” from 1996. It was the fifth single released from her 1995 album The Woman in Me.
It debuted at #47 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks in February 1996 and eventually spent two weeks at #1 in May before plummeting to #11, the second-biggest fall from #1 since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990!
The video was shot over two days in Orlando, Florida and released January 27, 1996.

I’ve had “Don’t Blink” by Kenny Chesney on a constant loop and thought I’d share it with you too! Here he is performing it at the 2007 CMA Awards in Nashville.
