In “Behind The Music: Carrie Underwood,” the singer speaks openly about the challenges that came along with her sudden fame and the process of auditioning for and ultimately winning American Idol. She also discusses her search for love, which led to her fairytale romance with her hockey player husband, Mike Fisher. Carrie’s Blown Away album made history this spring by debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums Chart, making Carrie only the second country artist in the 47 year history of the chart to have each of their first four albums debut at No. 1. Blown Away also debuted at No. 1 on the all-genre Billboard 200 chart, making Carrie only the second country artist in history to have three consecutive albums debut at No. 1. “Good Girl,” her first single from Blown Away, has already achieved the No. 1 slot on both Billboard and Country Aircheck’s country airplay charts and became her 15th career No. 1 single. Carrie will co-host the CMA Awards with Brad Paisley this fall and was recently nominated as “Female Vocalist of the Year,” her seventh career nod in this category.
Since releasing Some Hearts in 2005, Carrie has sold more than 15 million albums with Some Hearts, 2007′s Carnival Ride, and 2009′s Play On making her the best-selling American Idol in the U.S. She’s accumulated 15 No. 1 singles, seven of which she co-wrote, and became the first country artist in history and the only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 no. 1 singles from their first two albums.

Yeah. She should get another really good week of sales from the discounts.. Her team needs to learn to discount the cd more often. People are willing to buy if the price is right with the way the economy is.
