Carrie Underwood received the title Female Vocalist of the Year on the Country Music Awards. She was also given the Horizon Award best known as the Best New Artist Award. Carrie's debut CD Some Hearts has nearly sold 3.6 million copies. With the radio success of her single and the big wins last night, I'm willing to bet her album will be certified 4X platinum any day now, which clearly makes her CD the best selling debut from any American Idol winner ever. Simon Cowell's of course sitting pretty high and mighty right now, as he predicted this would happen two years ago.
Her close friend from her season of Idol, Anthony Fedorov, accompanied Carrie to the ceremony where she also performed her song which, despite the less than stellar performance, should still spike her radio airplay and her sales. A year after the disc was released, Some Hearts sold 35,000 copies last week, over 10,000 copies more than Christina Aguilera's Back to Basics which not only had a top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100 (something Carrie never had minus her Idol single) but also was only released a few months ago.
