Carrie Underwood’s Place In Country Music History

Oct 26, 2016, 8:03 AM

Carrie Underwood has taken the throne, and it will probably be a long time before she gives it up.

All five of Carrie’s records have been certified platinum or multi-platinum, making her the highest-certified country album artist since 2000. A platinum album signifies one million albums sold.

Her 2005 debut, Some Hearts, is her best-selling album so far with more than eight million copies sold.

Here’s a rundown of the others:

  • Storyteller – platinum
  • Blown Away – 2x platinum
  • Play On – 3x platinum
  • Carnival Ride – 4x platinum

Check out the music video to Underwood’s latest smash “Dirty Laundry”
