Faith Hill (born Audrey Faith Perry;
September 21, 1967) is an American country pop singer and occasional actress. Her voice type
is a mezzo-soprano. She is married to Country superstar Tim McGraw, with whom she has recorded several successful
duets. Hill has sold more than 40 million records worldwide.
Hill's first two
albums, Take Me as I Am (1993)
and It Matters to Me (1995), established her as a
popular country singer. The pair placed a combined three No. 1's on Billboard's
country charts and each received multi-platinum certifications in the U.S. But
the release of her next two albums, Faith (1998)
and Breathe (1999),
brought Hill mainstream, crossover and international success, by achieving high
positions and huge sales globally. Faith spawned
her first international hit, "This Kiss", and
went multi-platinum in various countries. Breathe became her best-selling album to date and one of
the best-selling country albums of all time, with her best known single, "Breathe". It went
multi-platinum in several countries around the world and earned Hill three Grammy Awards, including Best Country
Album. In 2001, she recorded "There You'll Be" for the soundtrack of the movie Pearl Harbor and
the song became an international success and her best-selling single in Europe.
Hill's next two albums, Cry (2002)
and Fireflies (2005),
kept her mainstream popularity. The former went multi-platinum and got another
crossover single, "Cry", which won Hill
a Grammy Award. The latter went multi-platinum as well, with the success of the
singles "Mississippi Girl" and
"Like We Never Loved at All",
which earned her another Grammy Award.
Hill has won five Grammy Awards, 14 Academy of Country Music Awards,
four American Music Awards and
several other awards. Her Soul2Soul II Tour 2006 with
McGraw became the highest-grossing country tour of all time. In 2001, she was named one of the "30 Most
Powerful Women in America" by Ladies Home Journal.
In 2009, Billboard named
her as the No. 1 Adult Contemporary artist of the 2000 decade and also as
the 39th best artist. Hill was, from 2007 to 2012, the voice of NBC Sunday Night Football's
intro song.
The Grammy Awards are awarded annually by the National
Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Hill has won 5 awards from
15 nominations.
