Kanye got his ass beat….by Reba McEntire!

The country crooner's new duets album, Reba Duets, is the number one album in America this week.

Reba's new album sold more than 300,000 copies in the first week — more than double McEntire's previous first-week sales high of 124,000 with It's Your Call in 1992.

Congratulations!

This is as close to #1 as duet partner Kelly Clarkson is gonna get for a while!

      I can't be first??? This album is great and her duets with LeAnn Rimes and Justin Timberlake are by far the best on the album. Congrats to a true DIVA!

      This album is the shiz, She's the Shiz!! Justin Timberlake has a duet with her that he co wrote and it's beautiful. And you can never go wrong with Don Henley-one of my FAVES!

      Why do you have to take a stab at Kelly Clarkson whenever you can? Really? She tried to spread her creative wings and it didn't go as perfectly as planned. Seriously, at least she had the guts to try because she thought it was right, the decency to apologize after realizing her mistake and damn the girl can sing. So move on and quit being a little bitchy girl.

      35

      And would she have gotten the #1 without Kelly Clarkson? Doubtful. Are you forgetting that Kelly's self-penned Because Of You is currently riding high in the charts as Reba's new hit single? Wow Perez, if Kelly was a total douche I might understand your constant sniping, but she's not! Save your side comments for Avril, Kelly's off to conquer the world AGAIN!

      37

      Reba - what a dumbho. Stupid woman.

      Well that suits Kanye West (who is gay by the way) just fine. Poor black man trying to gather all the white people around him, hopin he could be one of them. but he can never succeed in that dream he has.

      How stupid can Kanye West be ? Seriously, being surrounded by white people will only make him look more blacker than ever.

      what a stupid man he is.

      I just went to her concert. TOTALLY AWESOME. She had the gal from her REBA show open up. She was a hoot. Reba is at least a nice entertainer. Very friendly towards her fans. Been in the business a long time!

      Somebody called her a MILF???? While channel surfing every now and then I see this being on the tube and I can't change the channel quick enough before throwing up. YIKES! Untanned white skin is hard to take in the first place but red headed white's are just the worst.

      dude stop slamming on kelly. just because she doesn't give you the time of day, doesn't mean you have to act like a 3 year old.

      congrats to reba though. good for her.

    64. alex milstein says – reply to this


      64

      You're so predictable. And your snarky responses don't hold up. You say this may be as close as Kelly will get to number one this year, and in a way you're right. Her most recent album peaked at number 2.

      But this is jump on Kelly time, since she had the nerve to take a chance instead of blindly following Clive Davis. Maybe she should be like Barry Manilow and do crappy rehashes of somebody else's great songs.

      Why do you hate Kelly Clarkson? Is it because she has enough artistic vision to write her own stuff, unlike that cheesy hack Carrie BLANDerwood?

      74

      I like Reba…but…it burns my butt that she gets all these current asshat singers to sing duets with her and a true LEGEND like Dolly Parton does not have people lining up to sing with her.
      Reba is good but Dolly is great.
      Show Dolly some love and sing with her you bunch of losers. Kenny Chesney is the worst…he is here singing with Reba when he never even offered to sing with Dolly on her album. Keith Urban and Brad Paisley sang with Dolly …but Kenny the local boy blew her off.
      Now with this c.d. Reba will most likely overtake Dolly as queen of #1's in country. That chaps me for some reason.
      Go Dolly!
      Your'e still #1 with me.
      Always will be!!!!

      I like reba, her show is great, she is a nice and gentle person. The only thin I dislike about her is that she is republican! I hate Bush! But Reba is not against gay marriage she actually spoke out for them - so you losers you better get informed.

      Congrats Reba - you deserved it so much! I love you and you are definitely a hot MILF!!!!!

      Reba only has the number 1 because of who is with her. She can't sell an album on her own. This is a charity case if ever there was one. If I have to look at that goofy face of hers again I am going to hurl.

      Reba benefited a lot form Kelly's hit "because of you" and kelly is making good $ on the royalties for sure. I doubt ms. clarkson is that worried about her future. even when ithings are not so great, they are still pretty damn good

      Kelly is amazing. I love her and was so disappointed when her tour was cancelled. I love her new album, I think it was the most real and from the heart. And she wrote, all of them. Instead of getting someone else to write them, they're actually about her experiences.

      Re: yeehaa – i don't like to name-call, but your response is quite ignorant of the truth. reba has won a million awards, and sold many a record— and she did it all back when country and music were not too easy on the female performers. you may not like her (and her goofy joker grin, i'll give you that), but she is a business woman and performer not too far below dolly. you can imagine that JT wouldn't just put his name next to any old punk. she is a legend, like her or not. i suggest, however, that one day you listen to the song "Fancy." Listen to the lyrics and the performance. I think you'll change your mind about her. I mean, she has a million other classic good hits- and her version of the night that the lights went out in georgia is pretty f'ing good. you can say she has no talent, but i think it's a pretty uneducated statement.

      Re: JAA – i'm a big dixie chicks fan, but i also like reba. i'm going to choose to believe that what she said about the dixie chicks wasn't cut throat the way the rest of the rednecks behaved- prove me wrong if it's so. (I am devastated over the dixie chicks treatment, and that their album- and the incredible song, traveling soldier- never made it as a mainstay b/c of that ridiculous scandal.) however, a lot of people had trouble with the disrespect they showed for their leader, and that they did it on foreign soil… i don't think we can fault those people for having that opinion, anymore than they should've faulted the dc's for having theirs. some people just thought that the comment was "out of school" so to speak— okay to disagree, but not so disrespectfully when you're in another country representing us. but whatever, i'd like to know if reba was really cut throat on this b/c it would taint my impression of her a bit. but, if she was just disappointed in how they voiced their opinion, i can't fault her for that.

      Re: ILikeRebaBut – Dolly is #1 as far as I'm concerned, as an entertainer and business woman. Reba doesn't even compare. There is no Reba-wood, et cetera; Reba is not a gay icon; I could go on forever. I would highly doubt that Dolly has been refused by anyone- she may just not have any interest in sharing the limelight and royalties with these guys. Don't feel bad for Dolly- Dolly knows that Dolly rules- though she's too humble to focus on that, and Dolly loves Reba. They are great friends. I understand your irritation, but Dolly is so far above Reba, and everyone knows it- you shouldn't feel that Reba is getting more respect.

      Re: kole – i love how "progressives" are so intolerant of anyone that does not share their views. it's the epitome of irony and hypocracy, and nearly every one of you does it. just b/c bush is evil, doesn't mean that every republican is evil. there are republicans that think democrats are entitled to their opinion, you should be a democrat that allows republicans to have their own opinion even if it's not the same as yours. good grief.
