Country Radio Embraces 'Mississippi Girl' Making It The Higest Chart Debut Of Faith's Career

NASHVILLE, TN. (Faith Hill Official Website) - It's been more than two years since Faith Hill has released a new song to radio and judging from the reaction it was well worth the wait. Country radio stations added the song at a rate not celebrated by ANY performer this millennium, giving 'Mississippi Girl' a collective tally of 136 first week adds.

Radio & Records saw the infectious autobiographical track debut at No 27, Faith's highest first week chart position ever on R&R. The song also received 107 radio adds today, bringing the tally of first week adds to 114 thus far.

On Billboard's Country Singles Chart the news was equally groundbreaking. 'Mississippi Girl' debuted at No 27, another first week chart position career high for Faith, while additional adds from the Billboard panel gave the singer an astonishing total of 136 country radio stations out of the box.

Faith returned last week with the performance debut of 'Mississippi Girl' on The Today Show, where she rocked in front of nearly 2,000 fans at the Rockefeller Plaza Ice Skating Rink. She is set to perform the song again at the 40th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards, which will take place on Tuesday, May 17th in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino.
