    "Celebrity"

    In 2003, Brad Paisley was still very much a newcomer looking for an identity. "Celebrity" proved he was one of the more clever singers and songwriters in the music business. The Top 5 hit cleared space for songs like "Online" and "Ticks" to follow. Plus, it had a great music video!

    "She's Everything"

    "She's Everything" was a co-write between Brad Paisley and Wil Nance that was actually penned with Nance's wife in mind. However, our country hero crept in and owned the sweet love song with his comforting, soothing sound. Good thing he did — this 2006 single was one of three Paisley songs to reach platinum status. Needless to say, it was also a No. 1 chart-topper.

    "When I Get Where I'm Going"

    This single is a no-brainer for a top Brad Paisley songs list, because it features the vocal harmony of the legendary Dolly Parton, and you just can't go wrong there. Thanks in part to Dolly, the 2005 release of "When I Get Where I'm Going" meant a fifth No. 1 single for Paisley, and a 25th for the blonde 'Backwoods Barbie' of country. We think this song marks Paisley reaching his destination, which is a place as one of the most successful, notable and respected faces in the industry.

    "Whiskey Lullaby"

    Sure, "Whiskey Lullaby" isn't exactly the drinking party song it appears to be, but we need a look at reality every now and then. In this tune — No. 1 on our list of top Brad Paisley songs — the hitmaker harmonizes with Alison Krauss as he sings about a man who died of a broken heart and a bit too much to drink. The 2004 release of "Whiskey Lullaby" earned Paisley another platinum spot, and though it never reached No. 1 on the charts, it struck enough of a chord with us to earn the front-running spot on our list.
