Reba Scores A Second Number One, Scores Country Music Chart History

REBA MCENTIRE has scored her second number one on the U.S. album chart, giving country music a three-week run on top.

The flame-haired singer’s Keep On Loving You album debuts at the top with a sales week of 96,000.

She replaces the King of Country, George Strait, who hit the top of the countdown with Twang last week; duo Sugarland claimed the number one spot the week before.

Keep On Loving You gives McEntire’s her 11th number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, which gives her the edge as the most successful country female on the countdown ahead of Loretta Lynn, who has 10 chart-topping albums to her name.

Back to the main chart and Third Eye Blind’s Ursa Major crashes in at three, giving the band its first top 10 album ever.

Kings of Leon’s Only By the Night jumps a spot to four and Black Eyed Peas’ The E.N.D. slips to five.
