It’s rare that an artist is so prolific and successful that figuring out where to begin listening to their music is a nearly insurmountable challenge, but with Reba McEntire, who has 25 No. 1 songs on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, there are few obvious entry points. She’s simply been consistently good and successful for such a long time that looking at her biggest hits or a few select albums doesn’t quite do her remarkably varied career justice.

Armed with a meaty, bright voice and a perfect country origin story – she was signed after a label rep heard her singing the National Anthem at a rodeo – the Oklahoman has churned out country hits that run the gamut from vintage Western swing to bluegrass to rock and pop-inflected crossover to R&B covers without much of a break for multiple decades. At the time of the writing, McEntire currently holds or is tied for almost every country chart record for women artists, and three Grammys stand out on shelves laden with CMA, ACM and AMA awards. But the accolades don’t really tell her story. Instead, get to know Reba McEntire through this list of some of her best songs.

Reba McEntire’s road into country music wasn’t a particularly easy one. She spent almost a decade on the road playing smoky dives and honky-tonks before she got big enough to draw concert-hall sized crowds, and released single after single to little avail (although plenty of those early singles, with their 70s haze, hold up well). What initially caught country fans’ ears was McEntire’s disarming vocal similarity to the legendary Patsy Cline, which she capitalized on with her own version of Cline’s hit “Sweet Dreams.” The 1979 track became her first single to crack the country chart’s top 20, and remained a staple of her live repertoire for years.
