Chart performance

Tim McGraw version

Four years after the release of his own version, Crowell selected several songs which he recommended to record producer Byron Gallimore. Eventually, "Please Remember Me" made its way to Tim McGraw, who recorded it for his 1999 album A Place in the Sun. Released that year as the first single from that album, McGraw's rendition reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts, a position that it held for five weeks. The song was also McGraw's biggest solo hit on the Billboard Hot 100, where it peaked at number 10. McGraw's rendition features Patty Loveless on harmony vocals.
