Faith HITS New York This Week

Five-time Grammy Award winner, Faith will begin a whirlwind promotional tour on Tuesday to support her upcoming release of Faith Hill: The Hits. The CD, whose release coincides with the first day of the promotional tour, features nearly all of Faith's 11 #1 songs, as well as 4 songs that have not appeared on any of her previous albums.

Faith's first stop will be in ABC's Times Square studio, where she'll perform on Good Morning America. From there she'll visit The View, before completing her day with an intimate, taped "town hall" and performance of XM's "Artist Confidential" at Lincoln Center's Allen Room. (Air date to be scheduled) On Wednesday, October 3rd, Faith will appear as the only guest, for a full Faith Hill hour, on The Martha Stewart Show. The show is slated to air on October 8th. Faith concludes her stay in New York with an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman.

Faith Hill recently confirmed the track listing on her website. Of the album, Faith said: " It's been difficult selecting the songs for The Hits. But when we decided to focus on what you'd want, the decisions became much clearer. We're planning on newer, different versions of some songs and we've got a few new surprises on The Hits. Leave it to me, I would've made a whole album of surprises, but then it wouldn't have been The Hits and it wouldn't be coming out on October 2nd.

The Hits, set for release on Tuesday, October 2nd, includes music that spans Faith's career; the #1s (10 in total) include "Wild One," "Breathe," "This Kiss," "Piece Of My Heart," and "Mississippi Girl," as well as tracks which have never appeared on a Faith CD, such as "There You'll Be," from the motion picture Pearl Harbor, "Lost" and her new single "Red Umbrella."
