** "Choices" was Jones' penultimate top-40 hit, only reaching #30 in 1999. However, the song remained in the spotlight due to critical acclaim for its stark IHatePastMe lyrics resonating so well after Jones' drunk-driving charges earlier in the year. Also boosting its profile was the fact that the Country Music Association would only allow Jones to perform an abridged version of the song, to which Jones responded by refusing to attend the telecast. When Music/AlanJackson caught wind of this, he interrupted his own performance of "Pop a Top" to sing the chorus of "Choices" before storming offstage in protest.
** "Finally Friday" (the B-side of "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair") was never a single in its own right, but became a popular choice for stations to play during drive time on Fridays.

** "Why Baby Why" only got to #4, and despite versions by Red Sovine (featuring Webb Pierce) ''and'' Music/CharleyPride both hit #1 in later years, the song is still seen mainly as Jones's.
** Other popular hits of his that didn't get to #1 include "The Race Is On" (#3), "A Good Year for the Roses" (#2), "Tennessee Whiskey" (#2), "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes" (#3), and "The One I Loved Back Then (The Corvette Song)" (#3).
