In 2000, John Montgomery had his last No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart with “The Little Girl.” It held the top position for three weeks and also managed to climb to the No. 35 spot of Billboard Hot 100.
The song was released as the lead single off Montgomery’s album Brand New Me. Not only did it earn enough radio airplay – leading Montgomery up the country charts again after five years – but the emotional-roller-coaster song has also touched so many hearts.
