Country singer and Oklahoma native Reba McEntire is leaving her record label of 25 years MCA Nashville.  She recently signed with Valory Music Co.

According to CMT, the president of Valory Music record label is the same guy who handled her promotion during the 1990s and helped her get 14 number one country singles and sell more than 22 million albums.

I think it’s understandable why she wants to leave her record label and go to the man who helped her garner hit songs during the 1990s.

Reba is a the queen of country music and she has millions of fans all over the world.   However, she really hasn’t had a hit song during hte past decade.  Hopefully this new label move will help change that.

Her next album will be out next summer (2009).

Reba McEntire is releasing a greatest hits album next month. The album titled “50 Greatest Hits” will be in stores Oct. 28.

Let me say this first. I am very proud of Reba. I think she represents Oklahoma well. I’m always happy to see a fellow Oklahoman succeed.

However, this is Reba’s fourth greatest hits album since her debut back in 1977. So she’s averaging one greatest hits album every seven or eight years.

I’ve noticed this is starting to become a trend with musicians. Mariah Carey has released two greatest hits album during her a career of nearly two decades, and Mariah is still going strong.

I think artists should only release one greatest hits album during their career. Also, the greatest hits albums should only be released at the very end of an musician’s career.

Since it’s obvious Reba still has a long career ahead of her, I don’t really see a need for another greatest hits album.

Having said that, since she’s going to release it anyway, more power to her.

Below are some pictures of Reba’s greatest looks.
