"The Good Stuff" was Billboard's Number One country single for 7 weeks of 2002. In 2002 "The Good Stuff" won ASCAP song of the year, was Academy of country music's single of the year. Jim's next number one song was courtesy of his fellow Texas native and country music legend, George Strait, who took "It Just Comes Natural" to the top of the charts for four weeks in 2006. The Thompson Square song "Are You Gonna Kiss Me Or Not" was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Country Song in 2011, won Country Air Checks song of the year and was iTunes country song of the year. In 2014 Easton Corbin's song "Baby Be My Love Song" topped the charts at position number 3 in the US Country Airplay (Billboard).
