Messina's third studio release Burn was issued in March 2000. Not only becoming her first number-one album on the country albums chart, it also peaked at number nineteen on the Billboard 200. It would later certify platinum from the RIAA. The album's lead single "That's the Way" became her fourth number one single on the Hot Country Songs chart. Burn also spawned "Bring on the Rain" (which included vocals from Tim McGraw) and became Messina's fifth number-one country song. After the release of a holiday album in 2002 and a greatest hits project in 2003, Messina went on a temporary recording hiatus. In April 2005, she issued her fifth studio album Delicious Surprise, which certified gold from the RIAA and debuted at number one on the Billboard country albums chart. The album's lead single "My Give a Damn's Busted" became her sixth number one single on the Billboard country songs chart. Messina then issued a series of minor hit singles and was anticipating the release of a new album entitled Unmistakable. The album went unreleased and was replaced with a series of extended plays in 2010.
