Dixie Chicks

The Dixie Chicks are an American country music band which has also successfully crossed over into other genres. The band is composed of founding members (and sisters) Martie Erwin Maguire and Emily Erwin Robison, and lead singer Natalie Maines.

The group has released seven studio albums, one live album and twenty-five singles. They have won 13 Grammy Awards, including five in 2007 for Taking the Long Way and "Not Ready to Make Nice", a single from that album. By July 2010, with 30.5 million certified albums sold, they had become the top selling all-female band in the U.S. during the Nielsen SoundScan era.

Their breakthrough album Wide Open Spaces was released 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. These 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.

"There's Your Trouble", "Wide Open Spaces", "You Were Mine", "Cowboy Take Me Away", "Without You", and "Travelin' Soldier" have reached Number One on the Billboard country singles chart. A cover of the Fleetwood Mac's "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".
