Unlike the concise number-one lists for pop, R&B, and adult contemporary, the 1994 #1 country hits list is long, with 30 records. I will list them all, but I’ll only link to the ones that reached #1 for over a week because I’m a lazy blogger. Well, except for two.
Four weeks at #1
Pick Up Man – Joe Diffie. Bobbie Jo Gentry? An obvious reference.
Wild One – Faith Hill
I Swear – John Michael Montgomery, #42 pop. I recall a discussion at the time about how the lines of music had blurred with this song, as All-4-One’s version hit #1 the same year
Wink – Neil McCoy, #91 pop
Three weeks at #1
Summertime Blues – Alan Jackson, #104 pop. It’s a cover of that Eddie Cochran/Blue Cheer/Who song.
Living On Love – Alan Jackson
No Doubt About It – Neil McCoy, #75 pop
Two weeks at #1:
My Love – Little Texas, #83 pop
If The Good Die Young – Tracy Lawrence
Don’t Take The Girl – Tim McGraw, #17 pop
Be My Baby Tonight – John Michael Montgomery, #73 pop
XXX’s and OOO’s (An American Girl) – Trisha Yearwood, #114 pop
Third Rock From The Sun – Joe Diffie, #84 pop
She’s Not The Cheating Kind – Brooks and Dunn
A single week at #1
The rest of the songs were only #1 hits for one week
Live Until I Die – Clay Walker, #107 pop
I Just Wanted You To Know -Mark Chestnutt
Trying To Get Over It – Vince Gill
Piece Of My Heart – Faith Hill, #115 pop. It is the song I know from Janis Joplin!
A Good Run Of Bad Luck – Clint Black
If Bubba Can Dance (I Can Too) – Shenandoah
Your Love Amazes Me – John Berry
That Ain’t No Way To Go – Brooks and Dunn
Foolish Pride – Travis Tritt, #112 pop
Dreaming With My Eyes Open – Clay Walker
Whisper My Name – Randy Travis
Who’s That Man – Toby Keith, #102
Shut Up and Kiss Me – Mary Chapin Carpenter, #90 pop. I own a physical copy of this song and have over a half dozen MCC albums.
If I Could Make a Living -Clay Walker, #121 pop
The Big One – George Strait
If You’ve Got Love – John Michael Montgomery
