Continuing a countdown of my favorite albums of 2005…
#7 – Time Well Wasted – Brad Paisley
This is the first album on my list that I didn’t hear in 2005. Brad Paisley, and country music in general, just weren’t on my radar that year.
It was four years later when I first heard Paisley’s American Saturday Night that I became an instant fan. And that sent me right to his back catalog to catch up with everything I’d missed.
In the #2 spot on this week’s Billboard Hot 100 is Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers,’ the debut single from her new album Endless Summer Vacation. ‘Flowers’ debuted at #1 11 weeks ago and spent eight non-consecutive weeks atop the chart.
‘Flowers,’ written about the end of Cyrus’ marriage to actor Liam Hemsworth, is her second #1 single, following 2013’s ‘Wrecking Ball.’ Old school Miley hit ‘Party in the U.S.A.’ peaked at #2 back in 2009 (it couldn’t best The Black Eye Peas’ ‘I Gotta Feeling,’ and if remembering those two radio staples doesn’t drop you right back into the late ’00s, nothing will).
