Album ranks alongside Rimes' "Blue" in debut sales

Carrie Underwood
NASHVILLE, TN  [Tuesday May.22.2007]  /WMQT.com/ -- Last week we reported that Carrie Underwood had scanned right at 5.5 million in hard sales...but the demand for the CD has raised it to six times Platinum certification.

One of only two female country debuts ever to reach this milestone, Some Hearts now ranks alongside Leann Rimes' Blue as the best-selling debut by a country female in RIAA history.

Released November 15, 2005, the disc's consistent weekly sales have powered it to #1 for a remarkable 26 of its 78 chart weeks – holding the #1 position on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart across multiple weeks in 2005, 2006, and 2007.

MEANWHILE... Underwood's cross-format appeal has also delivered Top 10 success at Hot AC and Mainstream Top 40 with "Before He Cheats," becoming a Top 5 favorite video on VH1's VSpot Top 20 Video Countdown as well as the first country video ever to air on MTV's TRL and the first country video added to MTV since 1999.

With this week's SoundScan sales numbers, "Before He Cheats" also breaks new ground on the digital frontier, as release-to-date total sales vault to 1,228,511 downloads, ranking "Before He Cheats" as the best-selling digital country song in chart history.
