Carrie Underwood’s Debut Album Surpasses 9 Million Sales

Carrie Underwood’s Some Hearts, released back in 2005, has just been certified 9X Platinum by the RIAA for surpassing sales of 9 million units.

The album, produced by Mark Bright and Dan Huff, was recorded by Underwood right after she won the fourth season of American Idol. The sixth country album to achieve 9X Platinum status, Some Hearts was also the best-selling album in 2006, featuring hits like “Jesus, Take the Wheel” and “Before He Cheats.”

Currently, Underwood is the best-selling female country artist in history (in terms of digital singles), and this milestone simply adds to her iconic reputation. She was surprised with the honor of her album’s new certification during her performance at the Grand Ole Opry earlier this week by RIAA Vice President, Artist & Industry Relations Jackie Jones.
