'Mississippi Girl' Takes No 1 On Billboard Country Singles Charts

LOS ANGELES (Warner Bros.) - Faith Hill's first single in nearly two years, 'Mississippi Girl,' the infectious autobiographical track from her recently released No 1 album Fireflies, is itself now No 1. It has taken the top spot on both Billboard and Radio & Records' Country Singles Charts and adds to Faith's latest series of No 1's.

Upon its release two weeks ago, Fireflies debuted at No 1 on both Billboard's Top 200 and Country Album Charts. It marked the third consecutive time that Faith held both spots simultaneously, and gave her the distinction of being the only female artist in history to accomplish that feat.

'Mississippi Girl' was co-written by John Rich and Adam Shoenfeld, was produced by Dann Huff, Bryon Gallimore and Faith and was recorded on July 31st, 2004.

'It's thrilling to have another No 1,' said Faith. 'I cannot be more thankful for the support from country radio and am excited to get more music from Fireflies out there soon.'

'Mississippi Girl' is Faith's 9th No 1 single on Billboard's Country Singles Chart and is her 6th No 1 on Radio & Records. She's sold nearly 30 million albums over the course of her career and Fireflies marks her sixth studio recording.
