Described by music critics, such as Billboard 's, as Country Music's reigning Queen, Underwood is the only solo Country Artist to have a number one hit on Billboard Hot 100 Songs in the 2000 decade, as "Inside Your Heaven" reached the top of the chart in 2005. She is also the Female Country Artist with the most number one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, from 1991 to present, after her 12th number one hit in June 2012 broke her own Guinness Book record of eleven, which was co-held with Reba McEntire. Her album Some Hearts was named the Best Country Album of the 2000 Decade by Billboard, and she was the top-ranked Female Artist on Billboard's Best Country Artists of the 2000 Decade list.
