And on this day in 1986, Reba Mcentire had the #1 song with "Whoever's In New England"

Whoever's in New England was the title cut from Reba McEntire's tenth album, and her first #1 album on the Billboard country charts. It also produced the single "Little Rock."

The album's phenomenal success proved to be a turning point in McEntire's career. It was the singer's first platinum record, and solidified her new superstardom when she was named the 'Entertainer of the Year' by the Country Music Association in autumn 1986.

The album also marked another milestone, McEntire made her first music video for the title track. Eventually, McEntire would become known for her 'mini-movie'-styled music videos.
