Breathe is the fourth album by country artist Faith Hill, released in 1999 (see 1999 in music). It won a Grammy Award for Best Country Album. Hill was one of the earliest of the late-1990s country divas that were popular in the US, including Shania Twain, Martina McBride and the Dixie Chicks. Her husband, Tim McGraw, with whom she duets on "Let's Make Love", is also a successful country singer. Breathe is one of the most successful country/pop albums to date, selling over 6.3 million copies. The album has been certified 8× Platinum by the RIAA.
