註釋"Keith Urban's entry onto the tough-to-penetrate Nashville music scene at the end of the 20th century came in a flurry of chart-grabbing hits. The first of these was his song "Your Everything", and it sparkled brightest among the quartet of hits he had swarming the Billboard charts for the first time in his career. The beautifully delivered song, which showcased just a portion of his immense talent, lifted him from the debris of disappointments and setbacks that had been piling up around his musical journey and moved him along on his way to superstardom. "Your Everything" touched souls, melted hearts, and caught the attention of a hard-to-impress music industry. It peaked at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, settled in at No. 51 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, and in north of the border, resided at No. 20 on the Canadian Country Tracks chart. It became Urban's first song to make the top five on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart and he made history by becoming the first artist ever to be born in New Zealand and follow up with a Top 10 hit in the United States. "Your Everything" was the fourth of a dozen tracks on Urban's self-titled debut U.S. album. It received nonstop play across America's radio dials and the well-deserved praise for the song just kept flowing from fans and music critics everywhere. Plus, it became a staple for newlyweds to dance to while celebrating their nuptials, thanks to its powerfully soothing, feel-good vibe. Along with "Your Everything", three other singles off Urban's album sailed onto the charts: "It's a Love Thing" reached No. 18, "Where the Blacktop Ends" got all the way to No. 3, and "But for the Grace of God" rocketed to No. 1 to become his first chart topper in a career that would see many more. No surprise, the album went platinum, the first of many that would achieve that status in the coming years too. For Urban, it was a marvelous breakthrough that ignited the career of one of the greatest country musicians of this era. It all began with "Your Everything", which led to his much-dreamed-about arrival in Music City, also known as Nashville, a place where he truly belongs"--
