On Jan. 17, 1987, Reba McEntire‘s “What Am I Gonna Do About You” topped Billboard‘s Hot Country Songs chart, becoming her seventh leader, among 24 in her career.
Among women, McEntire boasts the most top 10s (60), while she trails only Dolly Parton (25) for the most No. 1s.
Jim Allison, Doug Gilmore and Bob Simon wrote “What Am I Gonna Do About You,” which McEntire co-produced with Jimmy Bowen. It was released from her same-named album, which became her second of 13 No. 1s on Top Country Albums.
