REBA BREAKS RECORD AS FEMALE ARTIST WITH
MOST #1 ALBUMS IN HISTORY OF BILLBOARD TOP COUNTRY ALBUMS CHART
NASHVILLE, TN – Superstar entertainer Reba McEntire adds another page to the history books this week as her first new solo studio album in six years – and her first on her new label The Valory Music Co. – debuts at #1 on both the Billboard Top Country AND the Top 200 Albums charts.
KEEP ON LOVING YOU is Reba’s first solo studio album to reach #1 on the Billboard Top 200. Featuring the Top 10 smash “Strange,” the album is the highest debut from a female country artist for 2009 and is the 6th overall highest country debut of the year.
With the success of KEEP ON LOVING YOU, Reba now holds the record as the female artist with the most #1 albums on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, having earned 11 #1 albums since the launch of the chart on January 11, 1964. Reba had previously shared the title with Loretta Lynn with 10 albums.
“I have had a blast working with my new Valory Music Co. team, along with my Starstruck family, on this record,” said Reba who learned of her #1 history-making status last night, while in LA for a host of television tapings, via a phone call from label President & CEO Scott Borchetta. “To have this success at this time of my life and career means everything to me.”
Reba’s KEEP ON LOVING YOU also marks a major milestone for country music as a genre. The album’s #1 status marks the third consecutive country album to top the Billboard Top 200 Album chart. Reba rounds out the trio of Sugarland and George Strait whose new albums achieved #1 status in the previous two weeks. Reba’s #1 album this week marks the first time in history that three country albums have topped the Billboard Top 200 Album chart in a row.
Reba performs her new single, “Consider Me Gone,” tonight on NBC's hit summer series "America's Got Talent” (9-10 p.m. ET).
