Carrie Underwood's 'Some Hearts' Shatters 'Idol' Record

Carrie Underwood has reached yet another career milestone. Her 2005 debut album, released the year she became the season five winner of 'American Idol,' has now been certified seven-times platinum -- which makes the new bride the first 'Idol' winner to achieve that level of sales success.

Season one 'AI' champ, Kelly Clarkson sold more than six million albums with her 2004 CD, 'Breakaway,' which earlier this year helped her earn the rank of most successful 'AI' contestant of all time. Carrie may be hot on Kelly's heels, though. Her current CD, 'Play On,' is consistently the top weekly seller of all former 'Idol' contestants, while Adam Lambert and Chris Daughtry both have albums currently on the Billboard 200 chart.

Carrie also boasts the most music awards of any 'Idol' winner, with a trophy case that includes five Grammys, 10 ACM awards and 14 Billboard awards. Other 'American Idol' alumni who have achieved platinum status include Clay Aiken, Ruben Studdard, David Cook, Kellie Pickler and Jordin Sparks.

The Oklahoma native, who recently returned from a lengthy honeymoon in Tahiti, will be splitting her limited time off the road between her home in Nashville and her husband Mike Fisher's home in Ottawa. Her Play On tour runs through December. Click here for dates.

she's skinnier than a rail, and i notice that in most of her videos they try and make her look like she's well endowed and awesome. nice try, but i have eyes and i could probably retire with all the money you used fixin' those teeth. that smile looks so manufactured ... better find a better ortho!

. Im sure there is a reason, I just don't know what it is,,, my way is one less thing in my wallet. And if I lose the card, I only have to cancel one card. And have the liability of one card.My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online at agegapsingl es .c o m a nice and free place for younger women and older men, or older women and younger men, to interact with each other. Maybe you wanna check out or tell your friends.
