Toby Keith's first hit single was the song "Should've Been a Cowboy", which was released in 1993. It proved to be a monster hit, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot Country chart. It also peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, and it still remains his highest chart showing on the all-genre chart. In addition, the song topped the Canadian Country chart, as well as reaching the top 10 in Australia and the top 40 in the UK. The song was written by Toby Keith himself, and has become something of a signature song for his career. It has also been used in countless commercials and television shows over the years.
