In 1999, McEntire released two albums. In September she issued her second Christmas album, "", which eventually sold 500,000 copies in the United States. In November, her twenty-second studio album, "So Good Together" was released, spawning three singles. The first release, "What Do You Say" and the second release, "I'll Be" both reached the Top 5 on the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. So Good Together also brought her into the Top 40 of the "Billboard" Hot 100 for the first time, peaking at No. 31. The album eventually certified Platinum by the end of the decade. What Do You Say became her first crossover hit as well. Unlike any of her previous albums, "So Good Together" was produced by three people, including McEntire. "Entertainment Weekly" commented that most of the album's material was "an odd set—mostly ballads, including an English/Portuguese duet with Jose e Durval on Boz Scaggs' 'We're All Alone'".
