Twentieth Century is the eighteenth studio album of country music band Alabama, released in 1999 by RCA Records. It produced the singles "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You", a collaboration with 'N Sync, "Small Stuff", "We Made Love" and "Twentieth Century", which respectively reached numbers 3, 24, 63, and 51 on the Hot Country Songs charts. In addition, "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You" was the band's last top ten hit on the country charts.
"(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time On You" was originally recorded by 'N Sync in 1998 on their first album *NSYNC.
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic rated the album 2 out of 5 stars, saying that "There's not a note out of place or a missed harmony. It's easy to marvel at the sheer technical achievement of the record, since not only is it so well made, but the songs rarely make an impression…That's the problem with Twentieth Century: although it's pleasant, it never creates its own identity, even compared to latter-day Alabama records." He praised "Twentieth Century", "Mist of Desire", "Life's Too Short to Love This Fast", and "God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You" as the best tracks, but said that "taken in the context of the record, they're nearly indistinguishable from the rest".
