9/26/2007 Stephen L. Betts   Although official figures will not be released until tomorrow, it looks like it’s so long, Kanye West! With sales of around 300,000 in its first week, Reba McEntire's Reba Duets is poised to take over the No. 1 spot on the multi-genre Billboard Top 200 chart from Kanye’s Graduation. Marking her biggest first-week album sales to date, it’s also the first time Reba has ever reached the top of the Billboard 200. The closest she had come previously was No. 2 with 1994’s Read My Mind, and her previous best first-week sales were 124,000 with It's Your Call in 1992. "I am beyond thrilled to have my biggest sales week ever with my 31st album," says Reba. "To get to share it with all my friends on this duets project is icing on the cake!" REBA BY THE NUMBERS: ·          33 No. 1 hits ·          15 American Music Awards ·          12 Academy of Country Music Awards ·          7 Country Music Association Awards ·          2 Grammys
