On This Day Back In 2003, The Dixie Chicks Went From The Country Penthouse To The Outhouse In A Matter Of Hours

On this day back in 2003, during a concert in London, lead chick Natalie Maines said, "We're ashamed the President of the United States is from Texas," and although the British crowd cheered, country radio reacted quite differently.

Love 'em or hate 'em, there's no denying the Dixie Chicks were on top of the country music world for a while. Once Natalie joined the band, they rose to fame just about as quick as they fell from grace. In fact, on this day back in 1998, Monument released their first major label album Wide Open Spaces.

Here's a look back at their very first number one song There's Your Trouble. Enjoy!
