Since then, all of his singles have reached top 40 on the country chart, with only nine missing top 10. Thirty gone to number one on the US country chart, starting with 1994's "Don't Take the Girl". Three of his singles—1997's "It's Your Love" (a duet with his wife, Faith Hill), 1998's "Just to See You Smile", and 2004's "Live Like You Were Dying"—are the number one country hit of that year according to Billboard Year-End. "Live Like You Were Dying" is also his longest-lasting number one, at seven non-consecutive weeks. Thirty-eight have also reached the Top 40 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
McGraw has also sung guest vocals on other singles for Hill, as well as on Jo Dee Messina's 2001 number 1 single "Bring On the Rain" and Nelly's number 3 pop hit "Over and Over", which was not released to country radio.
