Nashville, TN – She is the preeminent female country artist of the past two years, and now, reigning ACM Top Female Vocalist, double GRAMMY winner, and back-to-back CMA Female Vocalist of the Year Carrie Underwood sees her smash hit CD Carnival Ride, simultaneously RIAA-certified Gold, Platinum, and Double Platinum for sales of two million units.

Released on October 23, Carnival Ride has already launched the multi-week #1 smash, “So Small,” Underwood’s fifth consecutive country chart-topper after four #1 singles from her 6x-Platinum debut blockbuster, Some Hearts. Carrie’s continued success is celebrated in the year-end issue of Billboard, where she is #1 across multiple categories including Top Country Artist and Top Country Artist – Female (both based on sales and airplay), and #1 among Top Country Album Artists (based on sales). Outside the country categories, Carrie’s phenomenal 2007 is clear to see in the all-genre Billboard 200 Artist Recap, which ranks the pride of Checotah, Oklahoma, as the #1 best-selling female artist of the 2007 chart year.
