NASHVILLE, TN – Reba’s first album release on Starstruck/Valory, KEEP ON LOVING YOU, has been certified GOLD by the RIAA.  With this certification, every Reba studio album since 1984’s, MY KIND OF COUNTRY, has been certified GOLD or higher.

This unprecedented run of sales successes extends Reba’s lead as the female artist with the most RIAA sales certifications in Country music history.  
“It is always a thrill to get a Gold record. I have been blessed to get to record some great songs from great songwriters and then go into the studio and work with great producers and musicians,” says Reba of her latest accolade.   “My Valory team, led by Scott Borchetta, have played a huge role in the success of this CD. There’s a lot of hard work from a lot of people to make a Gold record possible. I’d like to thank everyone that has worked on this project and share this milestone with all of them.”

“All eyes were on Reba when she made the move to an independent label,” says Scott Borchetta, President & CEO of The Valory Music Co.  “It’s very gratifying that Reba and the Valory team have not only hit the initial goals but we have exceeded them with her first-ever #1 Billboard Top 200 album debut and her longest-to-date #1 single “Consider Me Gone”.  She’s also back with an ACM nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year as well.  Reba still rules!”

The superstar also graces the current cover of Country Weekly.  Inside the 5-page cover story, Reba discusses her ongoing tour with George Strait, her life behind-the-scenes, and why she never wants to quit making music.

The title track is the follow up single to her history-making, “Consider Me Gone,” which recently spent 4 weeks at #1. With the success of, “Consider Me Gone,” Reba joined Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and Gretchen Wilson as the only female Country artists to log more than 3 weeks at #1 in the past 10 years.
