Faith Hill Gets a Shock!

10 years ago today Faith Hill hit the top of the charts with a song that would become the 4th most played song of the past decade.

The honor goes to..."Breathe."




She also has the 6th most played song of the past decade.

That song is "The Way You Love Me."

Faith was left speechless with the news, then found her voice and said, "I was absolutely floored. The idea that these songs have connected the way that they have, with so many people, is just magical t me - it's a tremendous honor. It's what inspires me to continue to make music."

Each song has played more than one-million times.

The only other song to have more than a million spins for the country genre?

Lee Ann Womack's "I Hope You Dance."

Both songs had extensive play on other formats to boost their spins.
