NASHVILLE, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Arista Records) - Double-GRAMMY winner and reigning CMA Female Vocalist of the Year
Carrie Underwood is atop the country airplay charts once again this week as her fourth single, "Wasted," follows the No 1 success of "Jesus, Take the Wheel," "Don't Forget to Remember Me," and "Before He Cheats." With "Wasted," Carrie becomes the first female country artist in the monitored era to achieve four No 1 singles from her debut album. She joins superstar labelmates
Alan Jackson and
Brooks & Dunn as the three most recent artists in country music to enjoy this remarkable feat on their first album.
Even as "Wasted" becomes country radio's most-played song in the nation, Carrie's third smash, "Before He Cheats," is now powering its way up the Hot AC chart, entering the Top 10 this week. This marks the first time a solo country female has hit the Hot AC Top 10 since Faith Hill's "The Way You Love Me" in December of 2000!
MTV wants its Carrie Underwood, too, as the Oklahoma beauty and GRAMMY- winning Best New Artist sees the video for "Before He Cheats" newly added into MTV rotation. Remarkably, Carrie becomes the first country artist to hit MTV since 1999's Shania Twain smash, "Man, I Feel Like a Woman."
The singles are all from Underwood's unstoppable 19 Recordings/Arista debut disc, Some Hearts, now RIAA-certified 5x Platinum.
