Reba #1's is a double-disc compilation album by American country music artist Reba McEntire. It was released on November 22, 2005, via MCA Nashville to celebrate her thirty years in the music industry. Unlike previous compilation albums, Reba #1's is the first to include material from both her MCA catalog along with her early time at Mercury Records. The compilation includes 33 of McEntire's singles, of which 22 topped Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
The compilation received widespread acclaim from music critics, with critics noting McEntire's vast catalog. This compilation was a big success, debuting at number three on the Top Country Albums chart and number 12 on the Billboard 200. As of April 2017, the compilation has sold 1,195,800 copies in the United States, having gone on to be certified 2× Platinum by the RIAA due to it being a double-disc project.[2]
Two new songs were specifically recorded for this compilation. "You're Gonna Be" (re-titled as "You're Gonna Be (Always Loved By Me)" for its single release) was a moderate hit, peaking at number 33 on the Hot Country Songs chart. The Tim Menzies and Tony Haselden-penned track, "Love Needs a Holiday", peaked at number 60, becoming McEntire's worst performing single since the 1970s. Both singles were accompanied with music videos.
