The Chicks hold a unique place in music history as the only group to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice: once for Taking the Long Way and again for their earlier work in the context of the award's broader recognition. Their thirteen Grammy wins place them among the most awarded female acts in any genre. The group also holds the distinction of being the best-selling country group in the US according to Nielsen SoundScan data, a metric that tracks physical and digital sales with precision.Their ability to maintain relevance across three decades is remarkable. From the bluegrass circuits of the late 1980s to the stadium tours of the 2020s, they have consistently produced commercially successful and critically acclaimed work. The 2026 reissue of Taking the Long Way further cemented their status as artists who can revisit past triumphs with new depth.
