It’s all about country music on top of the Billboard 200 for the third week in a row, as Reba McEntire scores her second topper on the chart. McEntire’s “Keep On Loving You” enters at No. 1 with 96,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan—her second visit to the penthouse after 2007’s star-studded “Reba Duets” set.

The country queen replaces the King of Country, as last week’s No. 1, George Strait’s “Twang,” slides to No. 2 in its second frame with 61,000 (down 61%).

McEntire is also the champ on the all-encompassing Top Comprehensive Albums chart. It houses both older and current albums (the latter are generally those that are 18 months old or less). Over on the Billboard 200 chart, only current or new albums are ranked.

Additionally, “Keep On Loving You” is McEntire’s 11th No. 1 on the Top Country Albums chart, giving her sole possession of the record for the most No. 1 Country albums among female acts. She was previously tied with Loretta Lynn.
