Flashback Friday: Shania Twain

This 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.

Kenny Chesney’s “Don’t Blink”

I’ve had this earworm in my head all morning and supposedly the only way to get rid of that is to listen to the song again! 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.

Finish your third cup of coffee and bring it upbeat a bit with either Pop and listen to some new Nelly w Fergie at Pop Music Scene or download two free metal tracks at Metal Martyr.

From the world of 4 global music mecca: Jet-set half way around the globe for two must have Aussie tracks at Oz Music Scene. Heading back to the new music mecca of America, Big Apple Music Scene gives you two tracks that should be on every iPod . Down to one of America’s strongest indie cultures, Austin Sound Check gives us two tracks that you need to hear. Toronto is a bustling and exciting music scene and Toronto Unplugged gives us two solid tunes.

Our online music resource Our Digital Music lets us in on two key tracks to download. Anything with Dylan is good, but this Rock Dose is the best. Christian Music Fan outlines two tracks within the Christian genre. Ear Sucker always features a wide variety of quality music and these tracks are no different.

After you coffee, enjoy a martini and crank up some good old-fashioned crooning by blasting these two gems from Crooner Culture. No day is complete without some top notch classic rock - head to the Rock Relic for your rock fix. After the magical mystery ride in rock, float over to New Age Vibe for two favorites.
