Top 25 Country Songs, #20 - 16



Faith Hill!


Get your check shirts out, your best jeans on, find some boots with those spurs on them and git ready to saddle up, partners! Your favourite country countdown (of the moment) is back and this time... it's personal. No, not really. But it is slightly less depressing than our last installment. Can I get a yeehaw for that? No? Fine, whatever. Let's hear some music.


#20. He Stopped Loving Her Today (1980)
by George Jones




Oy vey. George Jones reasserted his dominance with this tale of a man who was never able to get over his first love. "But, it's called 'He Stopped Loving Her Today," you quite rudely interrupt me with. "Doesn't that indicate that he did get over her and you're just a filthy liar?" First things first... how dare you. Would I ever lie to you? Yes. But that has nothing to do with anything. Secondly, the poor fella only stopped loving her because he died. Yep... he loved her until the day he died.


Best Line: "He said I'll love you 'til I die, She told him you'll forget in time."
