Thirty years ago today, one of country music's biggest success stories officially began.
On July 9, 1996, LeAnn Rimes released her debut studio album, Blue, when she was just 13 years old. The record quickly turned the Texas teen into a household name and launched one of the most remarkable careers in modern country music.
The album became an instant success, reaching No. 1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart while climbing to No. 3 on the Billboard 200 across all genres.
Blue produced a string of hit singles, including the title track, "Hurt Me," "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)," "Unchained Melody" and "The Light in Your Eyes." The title song, in particular, showcased Rimes', 43, mature vocals, drawing comparisons to country legend Patsy Cline despite the singer's young age.
The success of Blue also helped make Rimes one of the youngest stars to dominate country music. At the 1997 Grammy Awards, she won Best New Artist and Best Female Country Vocal Performance for "Blue," becoming the youngest individual winner to earn a Grammy at the time.
Over the past three decades, Rimes has released more than a dozen studio albums, sold millions of records worldwide and remained a fixture in country and pop music.
Even after 30 years, Blue remains the album that introduced fans to one of country music's most recognizable voices and proved that age was no obstacle to making music history.
