Did you know?: "'Til Summer Comes Around" never made Billboard's Country Singles chart, though it did make the Billboard Hot 100, peaking at No. 58. The song was co-written by regular Urban collaborator Monty Powell, who has also written hits for Brooks & Dunn, Billy Ray Cyrus and Diamond Rio. The track comes from Urban's 2009 album Defying Gravity, which has been certified platinum and hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200. He recorded "Twelfth Of Never," a duet with Dolly Parton released on her 2005 album Those Were The Days. On Sunday's GRAMMY telecast, Urban performed "Jolene" with Norah Jones and John Mayer as a tribute to Parton,
who received a Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2011. Urban, who was born in New Zealand, released his debut album, The Ranch, in 1997. His latest album is Get Closer.
