Trisha Yearwood Takes on a New Role With ‘The Mirror'
Just over 30 years ago, country artist Trisha Yearwood took Nashville by storm with her debut 1991 hit single, 'She's in Love With the Boy.' She solidified herself as a household name with classic contemporary country cuts like 'Walkaway Joe.' With 15 studio albums, five top hit singles, and four published cookbooks later, one might think the seasoned country star would slow down. But after encouragement from her family, including her husband country singer-songwriter Garth Brooks, she began working on a music project she never dreamed of tackling: songwriting.

Garth Brooks' Daughter Said the Funniest Thing About Him Marrying Trisha Yearwood
During his November 2019 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Garth Brooks told a sweet story that shows how much love his three daughters, Taylor, August, and Allie, have for his wife, Trisha Yearwood, particularly in the early days of their relationship. The girls were so on board with their dad marrying Yearwood, they decided to exchange vows with Yearwood themselves. Yes! "So, Trisha doesn't have children, so they got married," Brooks said, referring to his now-wife and now-adult daughters. "So they [my daughters and Yearwood] exchanged rings and said vows to each other, because I told them, 'If something happens to me, you gotta take care of the queen, you gotta take care of Ms. Yearwood.'" Brooks then revealed what it was like during the family dinner when he told his children his plans to marry Yearwood. "It was great. We were at the dinner, all three of them — it was a really tight conversation," Brooks told Host Kelly Clarkson. "I'm nervous, and I finally worked up the courage to say I'd like to get married, and they were all fine with that, but I said, 'But you gotta take care of [Yearwood].'" Brooks and Yearwood got engaged in May 2005 during one of Brooks' live concerts, so this conversation occurred when Taylor and August were barely teenagers and Allie was only nine years old. As it turns out, Brooks' youngest had the most unexpectedly adorable response to her dad's request. "And I'm waiting for something intelligent to come back, and it was the youngest, Allie, who said, 'We got your back, bra strap,'" he said.

"That's awesome," Clarkson told the star between her own laughs. Just a few months later, in December 2005, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood got married in a private ceremony at their home near Tulsa, Oklahoma. Garth Brooks says he and Trisha Yearwood are "cool — until it comes to music" During that same visit to The Kelly Clarkson Show, Garth Brooks also made a hilarious confession about his marriage: He and Yearwood frequently butt heads over music. "Me and her are always cool — until it comes to music," he said. "It's just how it is, and it's the same way with her. That passion for music is great. So we've had some pretty good discussions."

Taylor Swift, The Beatles, Elvis & More Artists With the Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200: Full List
By remaining at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for an eighth week with I'm the Problem, Morgan Wallen ups his career total of weeks at No. 1 on Billboard's flagship albums chart to 37. That puts him in a four-way tie with three chart heavyweights — Harry Belafonte, Drake and The Monkees. More from Billboard Drake's 'What Did I Miss?' Debuts at No. 1 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart Toby Keith's '35 Biggest Hits' Skyrockets on Charts After Independence Day Kesha Makes Chart-Topping Debut With New Album '. (Period)' Wallen is just the 20th artist to log 30 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 – which originated in March 1956. Wallen is only the second core country artist to amass 30 weeks at No. 1, following Garth Brooks, who has headed the chart for 52 weeks. (Eagles, Elvis Presley and Taylor Swift, whose music straddles pop, rock and country, are also on the list.) Wallen, 32, is the youngest artist on this list. He has landed three No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200: Dangerous: The Double Album (10 weeks on top), One Thing at a Time (19 weeks) and now I'm the Problem (eight weeks so far). A few quick notes: While Presley's feats on the Billboard Hot 100 are shortchanged by the fact that his breakthrough in 1956 pre-dated the launch of Billboard's flagship songs chart by more than two years, the Billboard 200 captures Presley's entire career. His debut album, Elvis Presley, entered the chart at No. 11 in the issue dated March 31, 1956 – which was the chart's second week. If you count the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack (which logged 24 weeks at No. 1 in 1978) as a Bee Gees album, the trio had 31 weeks on top. Bee Gees had six tracks on the album — five of which were No. 1 hits on the Hot 100. But Billboard counts it as a multi-artist soundtrack album. Here's a look at all acts with 30 or more weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 since March 24, 1956, when the chart began publishing on a consistent weekly basis. Ties are shown in alphabetical order. Mariah Carey (30 weeks)First week at No. 1: March 2, 1991 Most recent week at No. 1: May 10, 2008 Longest-running No. 1: Mariah Carey (11 weeks in 1991) Notes: All of Carey's No. 1 albums have been regular studio releases. The Queen of Christmas' 1994 holiday album, Merry Christmas, peaked at No. 3. Eagles (30 weeks) First week at No. 1: July 26, 1975 Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 17, 2007 Longest-running No. 1: The Long Run (nine weeks in 1979). Notes: The long run at No. 1 for The Long Run is one week more than the band's most famous album, Hotel California (eight weeks in 1977). The RIAA has certified Eagles/Their Greatest Hits 1971-1975, which logged five weeks at No. 1 in 1976, at 38 times platinum, higher than any other album in history. The group's tally of No. 1 albums also includes a live album, 1994's Hell Freezes Over. Prince (35 weeks)First week at No. 1: Aug. 4, 1984 Most recent week at No. 1: May 7, 2016 Longest-running No. 1: Purple Rain soundtrack (24 weeks in 1984-85) Notes: Prince's No. 1 albums include two soundtracks, Purple Rain and Batman. Purple Rain had the longest run at No. 1 of any soundtrack in the 1980s. It was one of two No. 1 albums on which Prince shared billing with his band, The Revolution. The other was Around the World in a Day. Prince's tally also includes a 2001 hits compilation, The Very Best of Prince, which reached No. 1 following his death in 2016. Eminem (35 weeks) First week at No. 1: June 10, 2000 Most recent week at No. 1: July 27, 2024 Longest-running No. 1: The Marshall Mathers LP (eight weeks in 2000) Notes: Eminem's tally of No. 1 albums includes a 2005 greatest hits set, Curtain Call: The Hits. Eminem was the key artist on 8 Mile: Music From and Inspired by the Motion Picture, which logged four weeks at No. 1 in 2002-03, but that doesn't count toward his total. Neither do a pair of No. 1 albums he recorded as a member of the group D12, which logged a combined three weeks at No. 1. Harry Belafonte (37 weeks) First week at No. 1: March 24, 1956 Most recent week at No. 1: May 20, 1957 Longest-running No. 1: Calypso (31 weeks in 1956-57) Notes: The legendary singer's Belafonte album was No. 1 on the very first weekly Billboard 200 chart. Calypso is tied with the South Pacific soundtrack as the longest-running No. 1 album of the 1956-59 period. Belafonte had the second shortest span of weeks at No. 1 of any act on this list, with only The Monkees having a slightly shorter span. He is the only artist on this list who has had just two No. 1 albums. Drake (37 weeks) First week at No. 1: July 3, 2010 Most recent week at No. 1: March 1, 2025 Longest-running No. 1: Views (13 weeks in 2016) Notes: Drake is the hip-hop artist with the most weeks at No. 1. Also, he has logged more weeks at No. 1 than any other Canadian artist. His tally includes three collabs, with Future (What a Time to Be Alive), 21 Savage (Her Loss) and PARTYNEXTDOOR ($ome $exy $ongs 4U). The Monkees (37 weeks) First week at No. 1: Nov. 12, 1966 Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 30, 1967 Longest-running No. 1: More of the Monkees (18 weeks in 1967) Notes: The group had a briefer span of No. 1 albums – just a little more than a year – than any other act on this list. But that also underscores how hot they were at the time. They held the No. 1 spot for 31 consecutive weeks, longer than any other act in the entire 1956-2025 period. Morgan Wallen (37 weeks) First week at No. 1: Jan. 23, 2021 Most recent week at No. 1: July 19, 2025 Longest-running No. 1: One Thing at a Time (19 weeks in 2023-24) Notes: One Thing at a Time spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other country album in the entire 1956-2025 period. Fleetwood Mac (38 weeks)First week at No. 1: Sept. 4, 1976 Most recent week at No. 1: Sept. 6, 1997 Longest-running No. 1: Rumours (31 weeks in 1977) Notes: Rumours had the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 1970s. It also had the longest run at No. 1 of any album by a group or duo in the entire 1956-2025 period. Fleetwood Mac has had more weeks at No. 1 than any other mixed-gender (and mixed-nationalities) group. Their most recent No. 1 album, The Dance, was recorded live on a soundstage. The Rolling Stones (38 weeks) First week at No. 1: Aug. 21, 1965 Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 14, 1981 Longest-running No. 1: Tattoo You (nine weeks in 1981) Notes: The Stones are the third-highest ranking group on this list, behind The Beatles and The Kingston Trio. Elton John (39 weeks) First week at No. 1: July 15, 1972 Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 22, 1975 Longest-running No. 1: Greatest Hits (10 weeks in 1974-75). Notes: Elton's span of No. 1 albums – not quite 3-1/2 years – doesn't reflect his status as a dominant figure in pop music for more than half a century. Elton had the first two albums to enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1 – Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and Rock of the Westies (both 1975). Greatest Hits spent more weeks on top than any other greatest hits album in the 1970s. Elton was the key artist on The Lion King soundtrack, which logged 10 weeks at No. 1 in 1994-95, but that doesn't count toward his total. Adele (40 weeks) First week at No. 1: March 12, 2011 Most recent week at No. 1: Jan. 8, 2022 Longest-running No. 1: 21 (24 weeks in 2011-12) Notes: Adele has spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other solo artist who wasn't born in the U.S. (Runner-up is Elton John, with 39 weeks on top.) 21 spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other album of the 2010s. It also spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other album by a female artist in the entire 1956-2025 period. Whitney Houston (46 weeks)First week at No. 1: March 8, 1986 Most recent week at No. 1: Sept. 19, 2009 Longest-running No. 1: The Bodyguard soundtrack (20 weeks in 1992-93) Notes: Houston is the second-highest-ranking female solo artist. Houston's tally includes The Bodyguard soundtrack, which had the most weeks at No. 1 of any soundtrack in the 1990s. Houston recorded just six of the 12 songs on The Bodyguard, but they were the ones that sold the album. Houston's tally does not include the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, which logged five weeks at No. 1 in 1996, as she sang just three of the songs on that album. Houston very nearly notched a posthumous No. 1, but her The Greatest Hits album wasn't able to unseat Adele's blockbuster 21. The compilation logged three weeks at No. 2 in March 2012. The Kingston Trio (46 weeks) First week at No. 1: Nov. 24, 1958 Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 26, 1960 Longest-running No. 1: The Kingston Trio at Large (15 weeks in 1959) Notes: The folk trio spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other American group or duo. Among groups and duos where all the members were born in the U.S., runners-up are the Eagles, with 30 weeks at No. 1. The Kingston Trio is the second-highest-ranking group on this list, and the highest-ranking artist whose No. 1 albums are all studio releases consisting of songs the act hadn't previously recorded. Michael Jackson (51 weeks) First week at No. 1: Feb. 26, 1983 Most recent week at No. 1: Nov. 14, 2009 Longest-running No. 1: Thriller (37 weeks in 1983-84) Notes: Thriller had the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 1980s. It had a longer run at No. 1 than any other non-soundtrack album in the entire 1956-2025 period. MJ spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other Black artist. (Houston is runner-up at 46 weeks.) Jackson's total includes a soundtrack (Michael Jackson's This Is It) and a unique double-disk album (HIStory: Past, Present and Future Book I), which was half greatest hits, half new studio recordings. Garth Brooks (52 weeks)First week at No. 1: Sept. 28, 1991 Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 21, 2013 Longest-running No. 1: Ropin' the Wind (18 weeks in 1991-92). Notes: Brooks has spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other (pure) country artist. Brooks is also the second-highest-ranking male solo artist. Brooks' tally also includes The Hits, which spent eight weeks at No. 1, longer than any other greatest hits album of the 1990s; a double-disk live album, Double Live; and a six-CD box set, The Limited Series. Elvis Presley (67 weeks) First week at No. 1: May 5, 1956 Most recent week at No. 1: Oct. 26, 2002 Longest-running No. 1: Blue Hawaii soundtrack (20 weeks in 1961-62) Notes: Presley spent more weeks at No. 1 than any other male solo artist. His tally of No. 1 albums includes a Christmas album (Elvis' Christmas Album), a live album (Aloha From Hawaii Via Satellite), a greatest hits set (Elv1s: 30 #1 Hits) and four film soundtracks — Loving You, G.I. Blues, Blue Hawaii and Roustabout. Taylor Swift (86 weeks) First week at No. 1: Nov. 29, 2008 Most recent week at No. 1: Dec. 21, 2024 Longest-running No. 1: The Tortured Poets Department (17 weeks in 2024) Notes: In addition to being the top solo artist on this list, Swift, 35, is the top American artist. Her tally includes both the original and re-recorded Taylor's Version editions of Fearless, Speak Now, Red and 1989. The original Fearless had the longest run at No. 1 of any album in the 2000-09 decade. The Beatles (132 weeks) First week at No. 1: Feb. 15, 1964 Most recent week at No. 1: Feb. 3, 2001 Longest-running No. 1: Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (15 weeks in 1967). Notes: 1 topped the chart for eight weeks, longer than any other greatest hits set so far in this century. The group's tally of No. 1 albums also includes a double-disk greatest hits set, The Beatles/1967-1970; three editions of the Anthology series; and four No. 1 soundtracks — A Hard Day's Night, Help!, Magical Mystery Tour and Let It Be.
