08) Joe Nichols "Brokenheartsville"
(2 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: Didn't Make It)

07) Faith Hill "Cry"
(28 Days on the Great Eight/9 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #4)
After returning to the countdown at a hefty #4, Faith falls back 3 spots to #7, as she is certainly having a rollercoaster ride on this countdown. FALL OF THE DAY.

CCR returns to the countdown at #6, after a brief absence.

05) Shania Twain "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!"

04) Mark Wills "19 Somethin'"
(4 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #8)
Mark has the JUMP OF THE DAY, as he jumps 4 spots to #4, a very big jump for a video I didn't expect to last longer than 3 days.

03) Tim McGraw "She's My Kind Of Rain"
(8 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #1)
Here's the other shocker. Tim gets stopped short of 6 straight days at the top, falling 2 spots to #3, still staying in contention.

02) Toby Keith "Who's Your Daddy?"
(43 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #2)
Toby stays at the #2 spot, unable to capitalize on the vacant #1 spot. You'd be surprised who did.

(24 Days on the Great Eight/4 Days JMTGE/7 Days At #1/Yesterday: #9)
That's right, Cledus jumps a big 8 spots, off of the JMTGE spots and all the way up the countdown, hitting the #1 spot

09) Cledus T. Judd "It's A Great Day To Be A Guy"

(3 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #6)
Mark is still on the countdown, but he falls two spots to #8 today.

07) Emerson Drive "Fall Into Me"
(1 Day on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: Didn't Make It)
FINALLY. Emerson Drive makes the countdown a few months too late, suffering the same fate as "I Should Be Sleeping". However, they're on the countdown, so that's all that counts.

06) George Strait "She'll Leave You With A Smile"
(18 Days on the Great Eight/15 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #2)
So much for George making a run at the top spot. George is a lock for FALL OF THE DAY, falling a huge 4 spots, going down ALL THE WAY to #6.

05) Rascal Flatts "These Days"
(43 Days on the Great Eight/4 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: Didn't Make It)
After a very long absence from the Great Eight, the Rascal Flatt boys have returned, coming in at #5.

04) Faith Hill "Cry"
(27 Days on the Great Eight/9 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #10)
Faith jumps off of the JMTGE list, returning to the countdown in big fashion at #4.

03) Shania Twain "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!"
(36 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #3)
Shania has the #3 spot for a night. But she sounds serious as she slowly charges her way back to the top spot.

02) Toby Keith "Who's Your Daddy?"
(42 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #7)
Well, talk about a rebound. Toby moves up 5 big spots, almost taking the #1 spot, inching closer and closer to that great retirement in the sky. JUMP OF THE DAY.

01) Tim McGraw "She's My Kind Of Rain"
(7 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/5 Days At #1/Yesterday: #1)
Tim has 5 straight days at #1 (not 6, like Katie said).

Debut Video: Alan Jackson, "Let It Be Christmas"

Tuesday, December 3rd, 2002 | Back To Top
MWL will be handing out all sorts of CDs in celebration of the upcoming Christmas season. Also, there's a Great Eight on tap.

Just Missing The Great Eight
10) Faith Hill "Cry"
09) Dixie Chicks "Landslide"

08) Alison Krauss and Union Station "New Favorite"
(1 Day on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: Didn't Make It)
Alison Krauss and friends debut on the countdown at #8 today, making it 3 videos for Alison on MWL.
Retirement Outlook: Bleak

07) Toby Keith "Who's Your Daddy?"
(41 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #8)
Toby rebounds one spot from his gigantic drop, moving on up to #7 as his march towards retirement continues.
Retirement Outlook: Good

06) Mark Wills "19 Somethin'"
(2 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: Didn't Make It)
This flashback to the past returns to the Great Eight on #6. I think this song is catching on with me, and the video is quite interesting. Overall, pretty good stuff from Mark Wills here, but I can't see this video lasting much longer on MWL.
Retirement Outlook: Bleak

05) Cledus T. Judd "It's A Great Day To Be A Guy"
(23 Days on the Great Eight/3 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #2)
Hmmph. Cledus jumps up 3 spots from this spot on Saturday, and falls right back down to it today. It's not a great day to be Cledus today, as he is FALL OF THE DAY.
Retirement Outlook: Fair

04) Travis Tritt "Strong Enough To Be Your Man"
(18 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #5)
Travis rebounds from his 3 spot drop, moving back up one spot today to #4.
Retirement Outlook: Fair

03) Shania Twain "I'm Gonna Getcha Good!"
(35 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #6)
It looks like she's gonna get the JUMP OF THE DAY spot good, jumping back up to #3, a spot she was at only two countdowns ago.
Retirement Outlook: Good

02) George Strait "She'll Leave You With A Smile"
(17 Days on the Great Eight/15 Days JMTGE/Yesterday: #3)
George Strait has been coming on strong, and looks ready to take that #1 spot again very soon. He'll have to fight for it, though, as the #1 artist seems to have it locked up well.
Retirement Outlook: Fair

01) Tim McGraw "She's My Kind Of Rain"
(6 Days on the Great Eight/0 Days JMTGE/4 Days At #1/Yesterday: #1)
Tim and his fans keep things rolling, taking #1 for the 4th straight day, and this train has no signs of stopping anytime soon, even if it is early in the video's run.
Retirement Outlook: Good

OFF THE COUNTDOWN: Faith Hill, Bruce Springsteen
#1: Tim McGraw "She's My Kind of Rain" (4 days at #1, 4 consecutive)
