Tim McGraw

The odds of anyone actually making it in Nashville are not good. After a series of singles from his self-titled album failed to break through at country radio, the odds looked even worse for Tim McGraw. "I was told by one producer to pack up and go home. I would never make it," McGraw says, laughing.
"The first record didn't work – but some of the songs we were playing live were getting incredible reactions from the fans. My record company didn't want me to record one song in particular – until they saw me do it live." Since this debut album, Tim McGraw has gone on to sell nearly 25 million albums and singles.
That very song, "Indian Outlaw," was the break Tim McGraw had been looking for and before he knew it, "Not A Moment Too Soon," the album that soon followed, would become the biggest selling album of the year and would go on to sell six million copies. Following the hit single ("Indian Outlaw") was McGraw's first Number One record, "Don't Take The Girl" – and the hits continued with "Not A Moment Too Soon," "Refried Dreams" and "Down On The Farm." 
By 1996, Tim McGraw became one of the hand-full of top touring acts in country music. His choice of Faith Hill as the opening act for his "Spontaneous Combustion Tour" led not only to the most successful country tour that year, but also to their marriage in late 1996. With his personal life in order, Tim went into the studio with co-producers Byron Gallimore and James Stroud. The result could be heard everywhere. Even the industry experts were singing his praises. Tim McGraw began to win awards. CMA Vocal Event of The Year. Four ACM Awards. CMA Album of The Year. "Everywhere" became the first Album of the Year two years running in Radio and Records Magazine. The lead off single, "It's Your Love" became the first single in modern history to spend six weeks at Number One in Billboard, and was declared Single of The Year in 1997. "Just To See You Smile" accomplished the same feat – six weeks at Number One in Billboard and another Single of The Year in 1998.
After more successful releases and tours, Tim’s "Greatest Hits" package was launched to record buyers just before Christmas of 2000, selling two million copies in two months. The project contained 15 previously released singles, which spent eight consecutive weeks at Number One. The celebration of the tremendous sales launch was sweet but McGraw kept his focus on the album he had anticipated. The 2001 Billboard Awards named the project "Album of the Year."
As the release date of the much anticipated studio project "Set This Circus Down" moved closer, Tim McGraw relished in the glory of his recent – and first – Grammy win (Vocal Collaboration with Hill for "Let's Make Love"). The debut single, "Grown Men Don't Cry" became the fastest rising single of McGraw's career and was followed by the #1 single "Angry All The Time." The CMA named him "Entertainer of the Year" in November 2001.
