st1\:*{behavior:url(#ieooui) } Country Music star Carrie Underwood, season 4 American Idol winner, four-time GRAMMY winner, and 2009 ACM Entertainer of the Year nominee has recorded a song for the new season of American Idol.  The song, a remake of Mötley Crüe’s “Home Sweet Home,” will air each week as the farewell theme for contestants leaving the show.  The song will make its debut on American Idol on March 11, as the next contestant becomes eliminated from the show.  “Home Sweet Home” will release as a digital single, found exclusively at iTunes through March 16, and will subsequently be available at online music retailers everywhere. The release of the single will support a cause dear to Carrie’s heart as Carrie, 19 Recordings, and Sony Music Nashville will donate a portion of the sales proceeds from “Home Sweet Home” to The Humane Society of the United States (www.hsus.org). A longtime supporter of The Humane Society, Underwood comments, “I’ve always loved this song, and besides being very fitting for Idol, to me, the title is also very fitting with animal rescue and finding animals their own homes.  So we felt it was important to tie the release into an amazing animal charity like The HSUS.” Since winning American Idol in 2005, Underwood has become one of the most popular performers in the nation.  Her debut album, Some Hearts, is the biggest selling American Idol debut project to date, having sold more than seven million copies in the United States.  With the release of her current album, Carnival Ride, she has now sold 10 million albums in just over three years and has had nine #1 singles.  Carrie is currently climbing the country airplay charts with her most recent smash, “I Told You So,” also from Carnival Ride.
