The Eagles' Long Road Out Of Eden did go #1 on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart despite it not being Country. I blame that on Billboard and CMT promotion. Billboard charts things on the wrong charts at times, what can I say?

The Eagles were one of the most popular bands that played Country music or music with a Country flair to it, with the bulk of their career and material in the 70s way before Dwight in '86. I mentioned the Eagles because they had a Top Ten hit on the Country Charts before Dwight. I don't know how much it matters that "Billboard charts things on the wrong charts at times" because it's pretty evident the Eagles were 1. Country Rock band and 2. successful.
I don't know what your criteria is to filtered out the success of the Eagles had with Country Rock before Dwight Yoakam had in '86.
