The first single from Time Well Wasted was "Alcohol", which reached a peak of number 4 on the Billboard country charts in mid-2005. After it came "When I Get Where I'm Going", featuring background vocals from Dolly Parton. This song became Paisley's fifth Number One and Parton's twenty-fifth, as well as her first since the Ricky Van Shelton duet "Rockin' Years" in 1991. It also made her the oldest female artist to have a Number One hit on the country charts.
"The World", the third single, became Paisley's highest-debuting single when it entered the charts at number 37, and was his sixth Number One. Finishing off the single releases was "She's Everything", also a Number One. "Waitin' on a Woman", a cut from this album, was re-recorded and released to radio in 2008, and was added to his next studio album, 2007's 5th Gear. Upon its reaching Number One, the re-recording of "Waitin' on a Woman" became Paisley's eighth Number One in a row, setting a new record for the most consecutive country Number One hits since the inception of Nielsen SoundScan in 1990.[14]
