Reba McEntire - The Hits

Reba McEntire's The Hits packs four decades of the Queen of Country's biggest moments onto a single LP, from barroom heartbreak to sitcom-sized resilience.

Few country stars have stayed at the top as long, or reinvented themselves as often, as the Oklahoma-born singer. This 2025 collection runs from her early-80s breakthrough through the story-song peak of the late 80s and 90s, and on into her 21st-century run as a television star and elder stateswoman of Nashville.

Whoever's in New England is a masterclass in quiet devastation, Fancy turns Bobbie Gentry's tale of a girl's hard-won rise into a defiant signature, and Does He Love You remains one of the great duet showdowns in country music. I'm a Survivor, the theme song to her long-running sitcom, brings the story into the modern era with a knowing grin, while The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia shows her gift for dramatic storytelling.

Through it all, that voice holds steady, bright and twangy and capable of cracking hearts with a single held note. For newcomers it is the perfect introduction, and for longtime fans it is a reminder of just how many classics she has stacked up along the way, each one still worth singing along to.
