Flashback Friday: Garth Brooks

It’s that time of year to find a beach and a tasty beverage! The first song that came to mind is Garth’s hit “Two Piña Coladas,” set to an amusing slideshow (I can’t find a music video for it anywhere - does one exist?).
It hit #1 on the Billboard Country Charts in 1998, having […]

Flashback Friday: Clint Black

It hit the top of Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks and was the third single released from his album “One Emotion.”
The video features Howie Mandel (with hair!) trying to find a woman without any luck. Cameos include […]

Flashback Friday: Faith Hill “Let’s Go To Vegas”

Faith Hill in plastic pants and line dancing mobsters! Who doesn’t want to go to Vegas?
Faith’s “Let’s Go To Vegas” hit in 1995 and only climbed to #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs but I’d say it’s one of her more enduring singles!

“Third Rock from the Sun” was the first single released from Joe Diffie’s album of the same name in June 1994, and hit the top spot on The Billboard Hot Country Singles not long after.

Go, Reba!

Remember the highly annoying publicized “battle” between Kanye West and 50 Cent last month? Guess who knocked them both out of the top spots they were vying for?
Reba’s Duets sold more than 300,000 copies in its first week on the shelves, also jumping ahead of Kenny Chesney’s Just Who I Am, putting it at […]
