Dixie Chicks Discography

Dixie Chicks Discography

The Dixie Chicks is an American country music group composed of Natalie Maines, along with Emily Robison and Martie Maguire, who are sisters. Their discography comprises seven studio albums, one live album and twenty-five singles.

Founded in 1989 as a more bluegrass-oriented group with Maguire and Robison — then going by their birth surnames of Erwin — along with Laura Lynch and Robin Lynn Macy, the group did not achieve mainstream success until Lynch and Macy left and were replaced by lead singer Natalie Maines. Shortly after her joining, the group signed to Monument Records, releasing their breakthrough album Wide Open Spaces in 1998. Both it and its followup, 1999's Fly, earned the group several Grammy Awards and chart singles. Two more albums, Home and Taking the Long Way, followed in 2002 and 2006, respectively, on Columbia Records. These latter four albums have been certified double platinum or higher by the RIAA, with the highest-certified being Wide Open Spaces at 12× Multi-Platinum for U.S. shipments of twelve million copies.

Of the Dixie Chicks' twenty-five singles, six have reached Number One on the Billboard country singles chart: "There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and "Travelin' Soldier". A seventh, a version of the Fleetwood Mac song "Landslide", was also a Number One hit on the Adult Contemporary chart. Several of their singles have crossed over to the Billboard Hot 100, with their highest-peaking there being the #4 "Not Ready to Make Nice".
