Faith Hill's debut album was Take Me As I Am (1993); sales
were strong, buoyed by the chart success of "Wild One". Faith Hill was
delayed in the recording of her second album by surgery on her vocal
cords. It Matters to Me finally appeared in 1995 and was another success,
with the title track becoming her fourth #1 country single.
Faith Hill began the Spontaneous Combustion Tour with country singer Tim
McGraw . When he later proposed marriage to her in one of his tour
trailers, he had to go perform right then, so she took a permanent marker
and wrote her answer on the mirror. Hill after touring with McGraw married
him on October 6, 1996.
Faith Hill's 1998 album, Faith, moved her closer towards a mainstream,
pop-oriented sound. "This Kiss" became a #1 country hit, and went to #7 on
the pop charts.
Faith Hill's fame grew rapidly as she signed an endorsement deal with
CoverGirl makeup and released Breathe, an even more successful pop hit
that became one of the biggest albums of 2000. The title track "Breathe"
was the #1 pop airplay song that year and has become Hill's signature
song; especially notable is the power and control she shows in her lower
register during the song. "The Way You Love Me" hit the top ten as well
(#7), and becoming one of the longest running singles in the history of
the Billboard Hot 100 (57 weeks). The album won Hill three Grammy Awards
including Best Country Album.
The year 2000 was also very successful in a concert setting as Faith Hill
and Tim McGraw staged the joint Soul2Soul Tour, one of the best-grossing
concert tours of 2000. By the holidays she had contributed "Where Are You
Christmas?" to the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas; this
gospel-flavored song became very popular on the all-Christmas-all-the-time
holiday formats that American radio stations adopted in the 2000s.
Faith Hill recorded the Diane Warren penned "There You'll Be" for the
Pearl Harbor soundtrack the following summer. After the September 11, 2001
attacks, Hill showed her gospel colorings again when she performed "There
Will Come a Day" on the America: A Tribute to Heroes benefit telethon. At
the end of 2001, Faith released her first collection called "There You'll
Be" which reached top 30 of the Italian album chart and #6 on the UK album
chart selling nearly 1 million copies worldwide.
In 2002, Faith Hill released Cry. Though the album debuted at #1 on
Billboard magazine's pop and country album charts, its singles (including
the title track, written and originally performed by Angie Aparo) received
much less radio airplay than her previous smashes. In fact, country radio
pretty much ignored the songs, considering them "too pop". The album did
win one Grammy Award and has sold nearly 3 million copies worldwide.
Faith Hill co-starred with Nicole Kidman and Matthew Broderick in director
Frank Oz's remake of the 1975 thriller The Stepford Wives in 2004.
Faith Hill references this sojourn in Hollywood as well as the chilly
reception of Cry in the 2005 country release "Mississippi Girl", the first
single from her back-to-roots album Fireflies. It worked, as the song
restored her to the top of the country charts. "Mississippi Girl" is her
8th song to have reached #1.
Faith Hill performed this song along with "Breathe" and "Piece of My
Heart" at the Live 8 concert in Rome on July 2, 2005, where McGraw also
performed. The second single, "Like We Never Loved At All", featured a
duet with McGraw and reached the top five of the country chart, as well as
winning the duo a Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals.
The third single from the album was the song "The Lucky One". The song was
released to country radio in February 2006 and peaked at #5 on the
Billboard Country Singles chart.
Faith Hill’s album Fireflies has sold more than 2 million copies in the
U.S. and was certified double platinum on January 2006.
On the same month, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw decided to reprise their
Soul2Soul Tour. The co-headlining arena tour, dubbed Soul2Soul II Tour
2006, began on April 21 and will run through Labor Day, with a total of
about 70 dates in the works.
Faith Hill is a godess…In June 2006 a reader poll released by Country
Weekly magazine voted Faith Hill "the most beautiful woman in country
music".
