Time Well Wasted is the fourth studio album released by American country music artist Brad Paisley. It was released on August 16, 2005, on Arista Nashville. It was the Country Music Association's Album of the Year for 2006.^[13]

The album produced the singles "Alcohol", "When I Get Where I'm Going", "The World", and "She's Everything". "Alcohol" was a number 4 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, while the other three singles were all Number Ones. "Waitin' on a Woman" was re-recorded in mid-2008 as a bonus track for Paisley's 5th Gear album, and this re-recording was issued in June 2008 as a single.

Content

The first single from Time Well Wasted was "Alcohol", which reached a peak of number 4 on the Billboard country charts in mid-2005. After it came "When I Get Where I'm Going", featuring background vocals from Dolly Parton. This song became Paisley's fifth Number One and Parton's twenty-fifth, as well as her first since the Ricky Van Shelton duet "Rockin' Years" in 1991. It also made her the oldest female artist to have a Number One hit on the country charts.

"The World", the third single, became Paisley's highest-debuting single when it entered the charts at number 37, and was his sixth Number One. Finishing off the single releases was "She's Everything", also a Number One. "Waitin' on a Woman", a cut from this album, was re-recorded and released to radio in 2008, and was added to his next studio album, 2008's 5th Gear. Upon its reaching Number One, the re-recording of "Waitin' on a Woman" became Paisley's eighth Number One in a row, setting a new record for the most consecutive country Number One hits since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990.^[14]
