Wikipedia article
"'Cry'" is a song recorded by American country music singer Faith Hill. It was released as the first single from her fifth studio album 'of the same name' (2002). The song was originally written and recorded by singer-songwriter Angie Aparo for his 1999 album, 'The American'. In 2003, at the 45th Annual Grammy Awards, Hill won the Grammy Award for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Cry", marking her second win in the category.
Originally released to country radio on August 19, 2002, "Cry" crossed over to pop and adult contemporary radio in September 2002. It spent 11 weeks at number one on the US 'Billboard' Adult Contemporary chart and eventually peaked at number 33 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100 chart. "Cry" also reached number three on the Canadian Singles Chart and was a top-twenty success in Hungary, New Zealand, Norway, Romania and Spain.
Chart performance
Released in mid-2002, "Cry" proved to be less successful than the title track, "Breathe," from Hill's previous album, 'Breathe'. It peaked at number 12 on the US 'Billboard' Country Chart and number 33 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100. The song achieved its greatest success on the Adult Contemporary chart, where it spent 11 weeks at number one.
