<< Вернуться к списку всех песен "Steve Holy"
Steve Holy was born February 23, 1972 in Dallas, Texas as the youngest of eight children. He entered a local competition called the Mesquite Opry at age nineteen. While there, he caught the attention of Wilbur Rimes, the father of country singer LeAnn Rimes. By 1999, Holy was signed to Curb Records.
2000–2001: Blue Moon
His first single for the label, «Don’t Make Me Beg», peaked at #29 on the Billboard country charts in 2000. By October of that year, Holy’s debut album, Blue Moon, was released. Its second and third singles, which were the title track and «The Hunger», respectively, both reached #24 on the country charts. The album sold poorly, and many record stores began returning copies to the label.
Late in 2001, Holy reached Number One for the first time with «Good Morning Beautiful, a selection from the soundtrack to the film Angel Eyes. This song spent five weeks at Number One on the country charts and reached #29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
2002–2007: Non-album singles and Brand New Girlfriend
Holy released his fifth single, «I’m Not Breakin’,» in late 2002. This song peaked at #27 on the country music charts.
In 2005, Holy released «Brand New Girlfriend,» co-written by Jeffrey Steele, Shane Minor and Bart Allmand. This song became Holy’s second Number One on the country charts, reaching the top of the charts in its thirty-sixth week and setting a record for the slowest climb to Number One on that chart since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990. (This record was broken one year later by Tracy Lawrence, whose «Find Out Who Your Friends Are» reached Number One in its forty-first chart week.) «Brand New Girlfriend» was the lead-off single to Holy’s second studio album, also entitled Brand New Girlfriend. This album also produced the lesser Top 40 country hits «Come On Rain» and «Men Buy the Drinks (Girls Call the Shots)» at #35 and #38. Also included on the album were a cover version of Hank Williams, Jr.’s «All for the Love of Sunshine» and a song co-written by United States Senator Orrin Hatch.
A thirteenth single, «Might Have Been», was released in mid-2008 and on the chart week of December 27, 2008 debuted at #60 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
In February 2011, Steve released «Love Don’t Run» and this has become his first Top 40 hit on the country charts since «Men Buy the Drinks (Girls Call the Shots)» in 2007.
