This week for our Throwback Thursday video of the week, we go back to Brad Paisley's early days in 1999 for his giant hit, "He Didn't Have to Be".

This was off his debut album, Who Needs Pictures, and shot all the way to number 1 later that year in December. This was not only his second single off his album, but it was his first number 1 hit!
