REBA reignites the charts with a fiery passion, sitting atop the Billboard Top Country Albums – marking her twelfth #1 album – and earning a #3 Billboard 200 all-genre debut for LOVE SOMEBODY (Nash Icon Records).

The Superstar’s talent and popularity can’t be denied with 62,469 copies sold in the first week after nearly five years without new music. Ascending to #1 on the iTunes Country Top Songs charts in both the US and Canada, the project’s sassy lead single “Going Out Like That” scored the biggest single sales debut of Reba’s career and has already sold over 100,000 downloads.

The latest offering bests Reba’s 2010 ALL THE WOMEN I AM release, which ranked #3 Country and #7 All Genre Album charts with first week sales of 64,000 as well as a simultaneous chart-topper at Country radio for “Turn On The Radio.”

LOVE SOMEBODY is a brilliant home run with fans and critics alike,” said Nash Icon Records GM Jim Weatherson. “All of us at Nash Icon Records are thrilled with the success of Reba’s twelfth #1 album…a testament to her unmatched talent, dedication and loyal fan base.”

In recent weeks, the iconic entertainer has endeared herself to devoted fans and new audiences with national television appearances on TODAY, Watch What Happens Live, Morning Joe, Wake Up With Al, The Voice, The Talk and a Texas-size performance during the 50th Anniversary ACM Awards in Dallas where she was honored with a Milestone Award for the Most Awarded Female Vocalist of the Year. Additionally she has been prominently featured in Country Weekly, The Tennessean, USA Today, People magazine and Us Weekly, among others.
