Shoulda Been a Hit: Martina McBride "This Uncivil War" [Video]

Chadwick Benefield — Sat, 09 Feb 2013 12:00:38 +0000

Typically when I choose a song for my Shoulda Been a Hit column, I pick a song that actually had a chance at becoming one. But, for the first time in the history of this feature, I am choosing a song that was never officially released as a single. Martina McBride churned 4 big hits off her 1999 release Emotion. The lead-off single "I Love You" reached #1 on the Billboard Country Chart. It was a HUGE hit. So was the follow-up, "Love's the Only House," which peaked at #3. "There You Are" reached the 10 spot and "It's My Time" peaked at #11. But, if you ask me, Emotion contained a little hidden gem that had all the makings of a McBride chartbuster. LISTEN!
