[edit] Chart Performance

Released in mid 2002, "Cry" proved to be less successful than the title track, "Breathe," off of Hill's last album, Breathe. It quickly peaked at number twelve on the Billboard Country Chart and number thirty three on the Billboard Hot 100. Interestingly enough, the song was extremely popular over at the adult contemporary charts, spending eleven weeks at number one.
