As of this week, Reba McEntire has just become the second female country artist to surpass the 30 million mark in album sales (U.S.)!
And although Shania Twain holds the #1 spot with 34,175,000, Reba has actually been topping the charts since 1981 - before the Nielsen SoundScan even started tracking album sales for Billboard in 1991!
So someone had a pretty unfair advantage, if you ask us!
But hey!
It's even MORE impressive that Reba could hit this mark, especially given Shania's head start!
I don't understand the "unfair advantage" and "Shania's head start" statements. They don't make sense. Reba began her career in 1981 while Shania technically started in 1993. So Reba actually had a 2-year head start in the SoundScan era which began in 1991.

I'm so glad for Reba. I really love her, she's such a genuine person, very down-to-earth in everything she does. I hope her new sit-com will be picked up by ABC.
