Carrie Underwood Becomes the First Country Artist in History to Achieve 10 #1 Singles from Their First Two Albums!

"I Told You So" Today Marks Her 10th #1 Single with Album Sales Already Topping 10 Million!

Nashville, TN - She has sold more than 10 million albums with her first two records alone, and now Carrie Underwood hits another milestone 10 as her current smash, I Told You So, becomes her 10th single to top a key sales or airplay chart. The accomplishment makes the four-time GRAMMY winner the first country artist in history ever to achieve 10 #1 singles on the strength of their first two albums.

This weeks #1 country airplay blockbuster also marks the fifth consecutive chart-topper from Carrie's Carnival Ride album, which includes Just a Dream and three hits Carrie co-wrote: So Small, All-American Girl, and Last Name.

The newly crowned ACM Entertainer of the Year and three-time reigning ACM and CMA Female Vocalist accomplishes the rare feat of taking a former #1 song to the top of the country charts a second time 21 years after Randy Travis first saw his composition hit the chart summit. She becomes the first country artist to return a song to #1 since Alan Jackson took the Don Williams classic, It Must Be Love, back to the top nearly nine years ago.

In addition to her original recording of I Told You So on Carnival Ride, fans can also enjoy a special studio duet of the song, currently available as a digital single, featuring Carrie with Randy Travis.

The only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 #1 hits, Underwood's collection of chart-toppers began with the instant success of her post-American Idol single, Inside Your Heaven, which debuted top Billboards Hot 100 chart in the summer of 2005. It was the first of five #1s to top the BDS or Mediabase charts from her 7x-Platinum debut, Some Hearts, with the others including the GRAMMY-winning Jesus, Take the Wheel and Before He Cheats, as well as Dont Forget to Remember Me and Wasted.

And in a bit of Carrie trivia, 10 continues to be a lucky number for Carrie. Her birthday is March 10, and just two weeks after her American Idol win in 2005, she made her debut on the Grand Ole Opry on the 10th of June and later became a member of the Opry with her official induction on May 10, 2008.
