After the success of her 1964 single "Once a Day", Smith's self-titled debut album was released in March 1965 on RCA Victor Records. The album reached number one on the Billboard Top Country Albums, spending thirty weeks on the chart, while also becoming her only album to reach the Billboard 200 list (#105).[1] Smith's next two secular albums, Cute 'n' Country and Miss Smith Goes to Nashville went to number one and number two respectively between 1965 and 1966.

gollark: > but I don't care about human rights of people who don't care about human rights of other peopleGreat, so you picked that *subjective* judgement, okay.
gollark: Other primates are pretty social and whatnot, even some birds have tool use, I've heard that the main advantage we has is just good transfer learning capability.
gollark: Many animals can do many of the things human can.
gollark: Nobody is very sure where that line is.
gollark: And you're probably fiddling with definitions somewhat to make that point, depending on what people you mean exactly.
