Top 16 Reba McEntire Songs

Reba—one of the few artists we know by one name only—is celebrating a birthday on March 28. The 67-year old singer has had a career that spans 6 decades, from her debut single, “I Don’t Want to Be a One Night Stand” in 1976, to her most recent re-release of “Does He Love You” (featuring Dolly Parton) in 2021.

Throughout her career, Reba has garnered 25 No. 1 hits and sold more than 75 million records worldwide, including Read My Mind (1994), What If It’s You (1996), and If You See Him (1998). She also began acting with her first role for the movie Tremors in 1990, and a Broadway run as Annie Oakley in Annie Get Your Gun followed by her own WB television series Reba, for six seasons.
