"Before He Cheats" Sales Record:

Underwood's hit single "Before He Cheats" sold over one million digital copies in its first week of release in the United States, setting a record as the fastest-selling country single in digital history.

Multiple Grammy Awards:

Carrie Underwood has won several Grammy Awards throughout her career, including five awards in 2007 for her debut album "Some Hearts." She became the first female artist in Grammy history to win Best New Artist and the coveted Best Female Country Vocal Performance in the same year.

Album Sales Success:

Underwood has sold over 70 million albums worldwide, making her one of the best-selling country music artists of all time.

Concert Tour Achievements:

Her "Play On" tour in 2010-2011 became one of the top-grossing tours of the year. She played 114 shows, generating over $38 million in ticket sales.

CMA Awards:

Underwood has won numerous Country Music Association (CMA) Awards throughout her career, including "Female Vocalist of the Year" and "Single of the Year." She holds the record for the most CMA Awards won by a female artist.
