Carrie Underwood Makes History with Tenth No. 1

She’s sold more than 10 million albums with her first two records alone, and now Carrie Underwood hits another milestone as her current single, “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 No. 1 singles on the strength of their first two albums.

This week’s No. 1 Country airplay blockbuster also marks the fifth consecutive chart-topper from Underwood’s Carnival Ride album, which includes “Just a Dream” and three hits Underwood 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 accomplished the rare feat of taking a former No. 1 song to the top of the Country charts a second time – Randy Travis hit No. 1 21 years ago with "I Told You So." Underwood became the first Country artist to return a song to No. 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 Underwood with Randy Travis.
