Multiple Grammy® nominee Martina McBride has sold over 23 million albums and will open the 150th Anniversary season at Chautauqua on June 22!
With 15 major music awards, 14 Gold Records and nine Platinum honors, Martina McBride has captured the hearts of audiences around the world for more than 25 years. The four-time CMA Female Vocalist of the Year has revolutionized the country music industry, with songs that deliver both melody and message. A legendary force in country music, her career skyrocketed with the release of her second album in 1993, The Way That I Am. With hits, like “My Baby Loves Me,” and “Independence Day,” the album quickly rose to million-seller status in 1995, ushering in a string of platinum albums that 2000s.
One of country music’s biggest stars, Mcbride also saw years of crossover pop success before returning to her country roots in 2005. Soon after, her albums from 2007 to 2016 successively soared to the Top Five slots on the country album chart. Most recently, in 2023, twelve years after the original release of ELEVEN, the album was re-released to include four bonus tracks in ‘ELEVEN (Deluxe)’.
