Some Hearts Have All the Love

2/8/2008 Melissa Coker   Carrie Underwood just won't quit. Her Some Hearts has broken all kinds of records along the way, and now the ACM Album of the Year has been certified 7x-Platinum. That makes it the best-selling solo female country debut in RIAA history.  At the close of 2007, Billboard ranked Some Hearts as the Top Country Album for the second consecutive year, making Carrie the first female artist in Billboard history to earn back-to-back honors for Top Country Album. Released November 15, 2005, the album amassed a cumulative 27 weeks at No. 1 – causing Carrie to hold the peak spot on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart across multiple weeks in 2005, 2006, and 2007.  Some Hearts launched four No. 1 country singles: “Wasted,” “Don’t Forget to Remember Me,” “Before He Cheats,” and “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” the latter of which earned Carrie the Best Female Country Vocal Performance GRAMMY last year. The reigning ACM and CMA Female Vocalist and Best New Artist GRAMMY winner, Carrie not only performs on this weekend’s GRAMMY telecast, but is also nominated for two awards, including Best Female Country Vocal Performance (“Before He Cheats”) and Best Country Collaboration with Vocals (“Oh Love” with Brad Paisley). “Before He Cheats” is also up for Best Country Song, as well as Song of the Year (for writers Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins).
