Nashville, TN – Carrie Underwood will add more trophies to her award case after walking away with her first awards of 2007 with victories in both her nominated categories at the People’s Choice Awards last night – Favorite Female Singer and Favorite Country Song for “Before He Cheats.”

“I could not have dreamed of a more special year in my life; that it could be so full of wonderful memories and adventures,” said Underwood. “I am truly blessed to have the best fans in the world. Thanks for allowing me to share my music with you- and again, for voting for me.”

Underwood wrapped 2006 with a host of awards including 5 Billboard Music Awards- Album of the Year, Country Album of the Year, Female Billboard 200 Album Artist of the Year, Female Country Artist of the Year and New Country Artist of the Year, as well as 2 CMA Awards including Female Vocalist of the Year, 2 CMT Awards, 2 ACM Awards, an American Music Award and many more.

Nashville, TN – Reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Carrie Underwood begins the New Year with another incredible accomplishment as her 19 Recordings/Arista Records/Arista Nashville debut album, Some Hearts, vaults to RIAA Quintuple-Platinum certification for sales of five million units. The record-setting milestone earns Carrie the fastest 5x Platinum certification of any female country debut in history.

With this accomplishment, Some Hearts has now become the best-selling, single-disc country album by a solo female in the new millennium.

Some Hearts is also the best-selling, single-disc country album by a solo artist (male or female) in the last six years – since Tim McGraw’s Greatest Hits released in November of 2000.

And with January 10 SoundScan information, Some Hearts earns the further distinction of becoming the best-selling, single-disc country album by any artist (solo, male, female, group, duo, etc.) since the Dixie Chicks’ Home released in August of 2002.

Released November 15, 2005, Some Hearts has now logged a total of 20 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, beginning and ending 2006 at #1 and holding the top country spot for 14 weeks last year – more than any other artist.

In 2006, Underwood’s chart-topping singles also led all country artists as she tallied a whopping 11 weeks at #1 on the country airplay charts.

Carrie’s sales and airplay success were celebrated across multiple charts in Billboard’s year-end recap, which recognized the Best New Artist GRAMMY nominee at #1 among Top New Country Artists, Top Country Artists – Female, and Top Billboard 200 Artists – Female. Some Hearts garnered the #1 spot amid year-end Top Country Albums and, impressively, #1 on the all-genre chart of Top Billboard 200 Albums.

In addition to her recent GRAMMY nomination in the all-genre category of Best New Artist, the ACM Top New Female Vocalist winner earned a GRAMMY nomination as Best Country Female Vocalist, for her six-week #1 single, “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (which also garnered songwriter nominations as Song of the Year and Best Country Song).

Fans can soon be listening for Carrie’s upcoming single, “Wasted,” hitting country radio in February.

Nashville, TN – By year’s end, Carrie Underwood, the reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year, is on pace to capture the most weeks at #1 on Billboard’s country album sales chart and airplay chart. Her debut disc, Some Hearts, should tally 14 weeks at the chart’s summit in 2006. According to today’s SoundScan information reflecting last week’s retail activity, Underwood scanned 199,114 units and claims the #1 best-selling country album and #6 best-selling all-genre album. In 2006, her chart-topping singles have accumulated 11 weeks at #1.

This 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville hitmaker was recently honored with Album of the Year (all genres) in Billboard’s year-end print issue and on their Fox-televised annual awards show. She also received Billboard awards for Country Album of the Year, Female Billboard 200 Album Artist of the Year, Female Country Artist of the Year and New Country Artist of the Year.

Since its release on November 15, 2005, Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts has scanned 4,294,504 units.

Carrie returned home safely to the U.S. today from her recent USO tour. Carrie visited with and performed for U.S. Troops in both Kuwait and Iraq. Welcome home Carrie!
