Carrie Underwood to release new album in November

Four-time GRAMMY winner Carrie Underwood has sold more than 10 million albums with her first two records, and the excitement is high for more great music with news that November 3 will be the release date for her yet-to-be-titled third album.

Released on 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville, Carrie’s upcoming album will continue her amazing collaboration with producer Mark Bright, who helmed 2007’s hit-filled Carnival Ride, as well as seven tracks from Carrie’s blockbuster debut, Some Hearts.

Earlier this year, Underwood became the first country artist in history to achieve 10 #1 singles from their first two albums when “I Told You So” became the fifth consecutive chart-topper from Carnival Ride, which also included the smash, “Just a Dream,” and three hits Carrie co-wrote: “All-American Girl,” “So Small,” and “Last Name.”

The reigning ACM Entertainer of the Year and three-time, reigning ACM and CMA Female Vocalist is currently in the process of recording her new project, with a new single expected to arrive at radio late this summer.

The only American Idol winner ever to achieve 10 #1 hits, Underwood’s collection of chart-toppers began with the instant success of her post-American Idol single, “Inside Your Heaven,” which debuted atop Billboard’s Hot 100 chart in the summer of 2005. It was the first of five #1s to top the BDS or Mediabase charts from her 7x-Platinum debut, Some Hearts, with the others including the GRAMMY-winning “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Before He Cheats,” as well as “Don’t Forget to Remember Me” and “Wasted.”
