Discussion: Was The Blown Away Era Successful?

LEMONADE

Now that Carrie is writing and in the studio for album #5, on your personal thought, was the Blown Away era as a whole super successful for Carrie Underwood? Why or why not and please explain? I honestly think it was especially in her promo dept.

THE BLOWN AWAY TOUR
Tour Gross - 53 million
Other - 1 million donated to Red Cross

Legs - US, IRELAND, AUS, UK - 2ND US LEG - SOLD OUT

"TOP FEMALE COUNTRY TOURING ARTIST OF 2012."

OTHER ERA ENDEAVORS

The Sound Of Music - 18 million viewers bringing in networks biggest ratings.
CMA Awards - Hosting the CMA Awards for the 6th year in a row.
NFL - Took on the iconic NFL Sunday Night Football intro / theme song.
Blown Away Tour DVD - First female country artist to spend 3 weeks at #1
Rolling Stones & Aerosmith - Recorded a single with Aerosmith & joined Rolling Stones on stage.

& SO MUCH MORE

Yes, I don't listen to Carrie or Country but she's underrated statistics wise.

Definitely Top 10 in Biggest Female Artists last 10 years, maybe even Top 5.

Sure..... though this isn't really thread worthy.

TayLord

yeah, of course. Hopefully #5 will be similar to Blown Away

OK, it sold 1.6M in US (which is much less than any of her previous albums) but she's local so...

iHype.

Umm, selling 1.6M in U.S. from 2012-2013 is hard and lots of big artists didn't do it.

It is when the era is finally over and we are reflecting.
& it was obviously worthy enough for you to come in and post.

Starkboy

Isn't it obvious?

Blown Away and Good Girl were so big. Great song with great videos.

Yeah but some artists pulled at least something outside of the US.

It was indeed strong at Country Radio. So yes

Name 1 Country artist (not Taylor Swift) who is global though.

I hate when y'all do that with Urban/Country artists. You can't blame them for being local, when the genre is not used WW like Pop.

Haribo

Of course, it was.

I mean, a random album song just charted in multiple countries just recently from a youtube vid...

DanceForYou

Obviously. I do wish the album had been able to outsell Play On though.

It'll probably reach to 2M eventually. Carrie has great catalog sales.

Yes. "Blown Away" is one of her signature songs.

As much as I love "Blown Away" (the song), I was totally unaware of its commercial success! But yes, this has most definitely been a successful era, and I love how you've listed everything that has helped make it so successful

I am so excited for her upcoming era...it will finally be my time to see her live in concert. I am so tired of missing out. I'm not going to let that happen anymore!

It's not SUPER successful but of course it's successful and it's one of the most successful country eras in the last 2 years

ilovemusic432

Yes, she did so well with this era, I was happy with it <3
