JULY 12TH: ON THIS DAY

July 12th: On this day

On this day in 1997,“It’s Your Love,” by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill became the first song in 20 years to spend six weeks atop the Billboard magazine Hot Country Singles chart. The last song to do so was 1977’s “Luckenbach, Texas (Back to the Basics of Love)” by Waylon Jennings. In that span, more than 750 songs had reached #1 on the country chart, a majority of them for just one week.
