"Idol" Carrie Underwood's fall follow-up
“American Idol” Carrie Underwood doesn't want to spend her life jaded, waitin'—or just resting on her laurels. Arista Records and 19 Recordings announced Monday that the follow-up to the country crossover star's mega-hit debut “Some Hearts” has been slated for an Oct. 23 release.
While it seems as if Underwood must be on her third or fourth album by now, that's only because the multiplatinum-selling “Some Hearts” took up residence at number one on Billboard's Top Country Albums chart back in 2005… and managed to return to that spot multiple times over the next two and half years, according to E! Online.
The hit-filled album, which dropped Nov. 15, 2005, has been certified six-times platinum in the U.S., is the best-selling country disc/download of 2007 so far, with nearly 1.1 million copies sold just this year.
“Some Hearts” spawned seven singles, three of which went platinum, and Underwood also had a hit with her cover of the Pretenders' "I'll Stand by You," which she performed on the Idol Gives Back charity special in April.
The 24-year-old Oklahoman's as-yet untitled sophomore effort is being produced by Some Hearts collaborator Mark Bright and will feature some more songwriting by Underwood, who co-penned the tune "I Ain't in Checotah Anymore" on “Some Hearts.”
