With a focus on a classic sound, and a love for the pioneers of the genre, Reba’s work has earned her the nickname, “The Queen of Country” – especially since she’s one of the best-selling artists in country history. With more than 75 million records sold worldwide – with 24 number one singles, 16 number one albums, and countless Platinum/Gold-certified records – Reba is a living legend, and someone who truly embodies the word ‘icon.’
After first beginning her career in the late 1970s, things really took off for Reba after signing with MCA Nashville. Her 1984 album, ‘My Kind Of Country,’ is considered her breakthrough success. After a run of hit albums in the 1980s, Reba tried her hand at acting, appearing in the 1990 cult-classic ‘Tremors,’ as well as films like ‘North,’ and ‘The Little Rascals.’ She has also starred in her own television series, like ‘Reba’ and ‘Malibu Country.’
