It was “19(90) Somethin’” when Grand Ole Opry member Mark Wills went from singing 
at Atlanta’s infamous Buckboard to releasing his first of 19 Billboard-charting singles 
across seven albums. While climbing his musical ‘ladder,’ he has recorded Gold and 
Platinum albums and released some of the most enduring and recognizable Country 
Music hits of the last 25 Years. 
“Wish You Were Here,” “Jacob’s Ladder” and “I Do (Cherish You)” cemented his country 
status in the late ’90s and at the ‘dawning of a new decade’ in the early ’00s. “Jacob’s 
Ladder” was released via Mercury Nashville in May 1996 as Wills’ debut single, and it 
became the singer’s first of eight Top 10 hits. His debut self-titled album followed “full of 
rambunctious good-time songs teeming with sly wit and bittersweet ballads — all in a 
baritone that throbs with emotion” per Entertainment Weekly. Released 20 years ago as 
part of Wills’ Greatest Hits collection, the feel-good track stretched the singer both 
musically and vocally. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart Top 5 hits “Places I’ve Never 
Been,” “I Do (Cherish You),” “Don’t Laugh at Me,” and No. 1 single “Wish You Were 
Here” hit the airwaves between 1997-1999. Fittingly, Wills’ early chart success earned 
him an Academy of Country Music Award for Top New Male Vocalist in 1998. One of his 
biggest hits to date is the RIAA Gold-certified “19 Somethin’” – a six-week No. 1 on the 
Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. 
He also has taken more than a dozen trips to entertain U.S. troops in Iraq, Kuwait, 
Afghanistan, Korea, and Italy. Wills continues to hit the road with his high-energy show 
full of hits that were the soundtrack to so many people’s lives.
