Carrie Underwood’s Second Album Due October 23rd!

Two-time GRAMMY winner and Season Four American Idol Carrie Underwood will release her new album, Carnival Ride, for 19 Recordings/Arista Records/Arista Nashville on October 23rd. With “So Small”  already a country airplay Top 10 single after only four weeks, the American Idol Season Four winner who transformed from college student to multiplatinum superstar in under three years has experienced quite the adventure of her own. Carnival Ride is not only the title of Carrie's newest album, but Carrie saw it as metaphor as well. She said, “You step onto this ride called life, and it’s a crazy thing you don’t know anything about, but you get on it anyway. You do what you can to lean different directions to try and get it to go where you want it to go, but you  can’t stop it – it just keeps moving. That’s why Carnival Ride  works as my album title, because it describes the wonderful craziness that I’ve been through over the past couple years.” Underwood’s debut disc, Some Hearts, was released on November 15, 2005 and spent a remarkable 27 weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, holding that position across multiple weeks in not just 2005, but 2006 and 2007 as well. After being certified Platinum six times over and having SoundScan sales in excess of 1.2 million copies this year alone, Some Hearts remains this year's top-selling country album. With Carnival Ride being prepped for release, Carrie looks poised to continue her stay on the charts.
