Martina McBride

Known for her impressive vocal range, American country music singer Martina McBride has been a very successful country and country-pop singer since her first album, The Time Has Come, debuted in 1992.

The eponymous single from that album made it to number 23 on the country charts, but it was with her second album a year later, The Way That I Am, that McBride earned real star status. Two tracks from that release, “My Baby Loves Me” and “Life No. 9”, made it into the top ten on the country charts, while the track “Independence Day” won Song of The Year at the 1993 Country Music Association Awards.

McBride has put out nearly a dozen studio albums over the course of her career, and shows little sign of slowing down.

1995’s Wild Angels was a big hit, with the album’s title track earning the singer her first number one hit. Albums to follow include Evolution (1997), White Christmas (1998), Emotion (1999), Martina (2003), Timeless (2005), Waking Up Laughing (2007) Shine (2009), and Eleven (2011).

McBride has sold more than 14 million albums and won Female Vocalist of the Year at the CMMA’s a record four times.
