Shocked this doesn't have a thread.
#2 on the Hot 100, #1 Hot 100 Single Of 2000
16 weeks at #1 on AC
4 weeks at #1 on Country
1 week at #1 on Hot AC
An all time classic. Love the song, video, and her vocal performance of this. :)

Six weeks at the top in country. Faith Hill at her best, but the song just got overplayed to death. Still love it.

Love this song. Never really realized that the original album version was the "country" one and the one on her Greatest Hits album was the "pop" one, which I guess is the version that the pop/AC/Hot AC stations played when it crossed over.

It was released to Country radio in 1999. I know I'm in the minority but I absolutely hate "Breathe." |

This is such an amazing song. This comes on the radio once in a blue moon now, and when it does, it takes me back and I love it. SO great.

I get why people wouldn't like this, but I've always had a soft spot for it. It's really the song that propelled Faith to superstardom in the late 90s (though "This Kiss" definitely got that ball rolling). I remember hearing it for the first time when it was performed on the 1999 CMA awards and saying that it would be the Single of the Year the next year. It wasn't (it was nominated, but lost to "I Hope You Dance"), but upon hearing it, I knew it would be huge.

I liked Breathe. And I felt it was a wonderful breakthrough into pop/ac for Faith; however, once Cry came out, I almost forgot Breathe existed.
I miss her. I still listen to Fireflies a few times a year. Ten years is surely too long for a new album.

This topped the Country Singles chart on Billboard on 12/25/99, so it warrants being here.
I remember this being out, and it was huge. I mean HUGE. I think I first heard it around Thanksgiving time in 1999, and then it just got bigger and hung around for a year. I haven't listened to it in years, but it is a really good song. The post-chorus interludes with the guitar helped it stand out.

Faith Hill is the white Vanessa Williams. Very good voice, very hot in her prime, not a lot of personality. Give this to Mariah and this could've been something great, but as it is it's a 7 or 8.
