(1955 – present)

Reba Nell McEntire (born on March 28, 1955) is a Grammy Award-winning singer and one of the best-selling country music performers of all time, known for her pop-tinged ballads that include 23 #1 hits. She has issued 29 albums, with more than 45 million records sold as of 2006.

With a contract to Mercury Records, McEntire began her professional career singing heavily pop-influenced ballads, a far cry from the neotraditionalist movement she would help lead a few years later.

“I Don’t Want To Be A One Night Stand” became her first charting single in 1976. Her first Top 10 hit “(You Lift Me) Up to Heaven” followed four years later, and in 1982 she scored her first #1 hit with “Can’t Even Get The Blues.”

Frustrated at her limited commercial success, McEntire left Mercury and signed with MCA Records in 1984. 1984’s “Just A Little Love” wasn’t much different form her Mercury material and was only moderately successful. However, another album followed later that same year, titled “My Kind of Country.” This was a return-to-roots record, complete with fiddles and steel. It was comprised largely of covers of classic country songs, as well as original songs such as “How Blue” and the Harlan Howard-penned “Somebody Should Leave”, both of which reached #1 on the Billboard country singles chart.

In the early 1990s McEntire expanded her audience by adopting a softer, more pop-oriented sound. She became one of the best-selling country artists of all time, releasing three volumes of greatest hits collections.

Reba, Wow, your the best. Seen you on the awards here in Las Vegas last evening. You look and sound great!! Taylor, should have never won over you. I went to a party last evening at Wynn's and they were speaking of Real Men Love 2 Cuddle, and how you would be so great to help Trey Noran in the raising of monies for the homeless. What I understood that you were his first choice but unable to reach you.I also would pick you as my first choice, your sweet, sexy, real and a smile that lights up the world?

Consider Me Gone is currently at #10 on US Country Music Charts and #63 on the Billboard 100 chart! I think it is going to keep on going! It is already in a higher position on both charts than Strange!

As I said before (but I am going to be a bit more courteous because I like Martina more), let's try and keep Martina news to Martina's page.

I was shocked that she didn't have more than approx. 700.000 plays when I started using Last.fm last year. Glad to see that she's making such fast progress.

I like the "Strange" a lot more than "Consider Me Gone," though.

"Strange" burned out too quick because it was overplayed too early, so it didn't last long - but "Consider Me Gone" is definitely going to get higher! =)

I can see Consider Me Gone continue to rise in the charts both the Billboard 100 and Country charts because it is such an addictive and emotional song and every week it has gone up and it is currently at #13 on Country and #80 on Billboard 100 but Strange got to #11!
