Burn is the third studio album by American country music artist Jo Dee Messina, released on August 1, 2000 by Curb Records.
Her first No. 1 Billboard album on the Top Country Albums charts, it also hit No. 19 on the Billboard 200. "That's the Way" served as the album's lead-off single, spending four weeks at the top of the Billboard country music charts and becoming a major pop hit, peaking at #25. "Closer" was supposed to be the first single but was switched last minute (they filmed a video for it and it's included on her DVD video collection). Following it was the title track (previously recorded by Tina Arena on her album In Deep) which became a #2 hit on the country music charts and Top 20 hit on the Hot Adult Contemporary Tracks, it gave Messina her first entry on the latter charts. "Downtime" peaked at #5 on the country music charts, followed by another Number One in the Tim McGraw duet "Bring on the Rain". Finally, "Dare to Dream" peaked at #23 in mid-2002. The album has sold over one million copies and was certified Platinum.
