I guess they're already starting to do research for the next single because I just did a survey with five songs from Carnival Ride. They were "I Told You So," "I Know You Won't," "Flat On The Floor," "The More Boys I Meet," and "Just A Dream." The most encouraging thing to me about this is that this means "I Told You So" is in the running for future single status. It's one of the best songs and vocal performances on Carnival Ride for me. "I Know You Won't" is absolutely killer live and the studio performance is also excellent, but I'm not sure it would play well on radio. "Just a Dream" seems like an obvious single to me. I think that a ballad should follow "Last Name," followed by an uptempo song and, if there is a 6th single, another ballad. As far as the uptempo tracks go, I prefer "Crazy Dreams" and "Get Out of This Town" to the studio versions of "Flat on the Floor" and "The More Boys I Meet." But "Flat on the Floor" is a great song and Carrie's studio vocal has grown on me (her live performances definitely top the studio vocal for me, though). "The More Boys I Meet" is the only song of the five that I'd really rather not get released. It's funny but not as charming as it should be and I find the studio vocal to be overclarified to the point of grating. Back on topic, this looks good to hit the top-30 by week's end, yes? i actually think theres a good chance ITYS will be released. carrie releases songs that mean a lot to her, thats why i think DFTRM was released for SH. ITYS will forever have a special place in her heart since its the song that 'got' her invited to the opry, so to speak.

I Told You So is beautiful, I love her rendition, but I think I like You Won't Find This better.

if Carrie releases ITYS, she will break her streak of #1 songs. i think this would be the worst choice for a single, but unfortunately Jeff is right. she did get invited to the opry after singing this. so it might very well be a single. if so the better go 7 singles deep. because FOTF, JAD, and either GOOTT, T, or YWFT need to be released

Yeah I wouldnt mind if ITYS is a single as long as JAD and/or FotF/GootT is released as well

With at least three more singles in line to be released from this CD, I hope you folks get your wishes.

ITYS is nice, but it's not single material IMO. JAD needs to be released next.

I have a strange feeling that a lot of you will not get your wish and "Just A Dream" won't even be released as a single. Let's look at this logically...
They have already released 3 of the songs Carrie co-wrote, and I don't see any reason they won't release the 4th. "Flat on the Floor" is the first song on the CD and is a lock for a single release. That means she would have to go 6 deep, which, while I agree she should even go 7 or 8 deep, artists just don,t really do that very much any more.
So while I hope everyone gets your wishes, I'm just getting it on record that JAD may not be the mortal lock everyone thinks it is. I HOPE I'M WRONG!! Have a nice day!

Just because Carrie has released 3 of her co-writes doesn't mean she will automatically release the 4th one. Personally, I think the first 3 choices were great choices (some may disagree with me). I don't think "Crazy Dreams" is the right 4th single (if it's released, I think it should be the 6th single if there are 6). Also, just because FOTF is the first song on the album doesn't make it a mortal lock. Yes, first songs on an album are released the vast majority of the time, but that is not always the case. I do think FOTF will be released, though. I think JAD will be released as a single at some point. Just judging from online responses, JAD seems to be one of the most loved songs on CR overall (if not the most loved). Plus, I think Carrie's team needs to release one more ballad off CR. And, just to add further discussion to everyone else's posts, I really don't see ITYS becoming a single. If they go 6 deep, I would be fine with this choice (even though I think Crazy Dreams is a better choice). I love the song, but there are other choices I think would work better on current Country radio (plus it's not really her song. Then again, it would be pretty amazing if "I Told You So" could be a #1 hit on the Country chart twice with two different Country singers.)

Completely agree, agree with the whole post. 4th= Just A Dream 5th= Flat On The Floor 6th= I Told You So Not sure this will be the case, but if it is I would expect albums to really start moving. I think ITYS would be great, because it sounds country, which is a problem I have with some of her slow songs on CR. Six singles really does seem quite possible with how fast these singles are moving up and down the charts. The album has been out since only October and they are on the 3rd single, with the previous two being extremely successful. Most artists seem to be lucky if they are on their second single in that time frame.

i could maybe live if "ITYS" was the 6th single after JAD and FOTF. i still wouldnt be happy but i could live with it... ITYS is finally starting to warm up on me though. i am starting to like it more than "The More Boys I Meet" and "I Know You Won't".
i wish "You Won't Find This" would be the 6th single though

It's funny that everyone on here seems to have a different opinion of what should be released (and I'm really enjoying the banter). I guess that's just the ultimate sign of a consistent album.
For my $.02, I would like to see Twisted and You Won't Find This released. YWFT is lyrically my fave off the cd, and Twisted is by far her best vocal performance on the album IMO. The only song I'm rooting against is FOTF. I didn't like it when Katrina Elam released it, and I don't like Carrie's version any better.

The only song I'm rooting against is FOTF. I didn't like it when Katrina Elam released it, and I don't like Carrie's version any better. Co-sign, except I'm also rooting against TMBIM, which I think is Carrie's worst performance on record. It just smacks of trying too hard to be cute that it makes me cringe because the affect is so unnatural. It's funny that it's adjacent to "Twisted" on the record, because IMO Twisted is easily Carrie's most intricate, agile, unique vocal performance. The ease with which she transitions from head to chest voice over and over just slays me. Gah. It's unlike any other Carrie Underwood song and unlike anything else I've heard on the radio in terms of vocal style. Too bad the instrumental intro is unmemorable and the verses are weak, or else it would be an absolute killer single because the chorus is amazing and the lyrical sentiment is probably the most generally relatable on the record. Whenever I'm youtubing for new Carrie videos I see more montages set to "Twisted" than any other song off of CR since it's applicable to so many relationships. Anyway, topic, it'll be interesting to see how fast LN ascends the charts, it's conceivable that the next single will be released by the end of June. Like tsharky, I don't see LN as much of an awards song either, it's a great fun sing-along, but pretty derivative in style and sentiment of other hits, although a great video could certainly make a difference. JAD seems like a strange choice for a summer single but if they hold it off any longer and sub in another single it won't be Grammy-eligible for next year, and on the off chance that it is released by the end of June it would be eligible for the CMAs this year, yes? Plus most Carrie fans have been waiting since the album was released for JAD to be a single, as it wins virtually every poll of favorite CR songs on every fan site.

Also, just because FOTF is the first song on the album doesn't make it a mortal lock. Yes, first songs on an album are released the vast majority of the time, but that is not always the case. I do think FOTF will be released, though. You're right, of course, nothing is written in stone. However, without going into too many specific details, I spent a while looking over various albums by top artists in the last couple of years that have run their course and that are currently on the charts. Out of 3 or 4 dozen albums that had several singles released, the only ones I found (and of course you will now point out others that I missed) that had a first single that wasn't released were a Kenny Chesney album called The road and the Radio, and Brad Paisley's current album 5th Gear, but that album isn't done yet, so he could still release the first song. More than 95 percent of the albums I looked at had the 1st song released as a single. I'm just saying it's extremely likely. By that twisted logic, I'm also excited that my two favorite songs on Leann Rimes Album and Reba McEntire's Duets album are also the first songs on each album, so perhaps I'll get lucky and be able to hear those songs on the radio one day. I just wouldn't get my hopes up so high for "Just A Dream", that's all. I mean, there were some absolutely fantastic, amazing songs on "Some Hearts" that everyone thought would be singles for sure that were never released, so you never know. Have a nice day!!

Carnival Ride is eligible for the Grammies next year, so every single song on it is eligible for next year's Grammies also. :)

Rowdawg's projection was right on target. LN jumps 46-28 on BB/R&R. Interesting factoid: A-AG also went (58)-46-28. And both were #28 before adds date.

Every single CD i have ever looked at, the 1st song on there either was a single or had something to do with the album title.
Kenny Chesney "The Road And The Radio": the first song "The Road And The Radio" gave the album its name. Brad Paisley "5th Gear": Brad names his album "5th Gear" for a few reasons. one of them is because most of the songs on the album spoke about cars, "All I Wanted Was A Car[/i]"
now Brad's doesnt exactly fit but it does have something to do with it...
so i believe 100% that FOTF will be a single along with JAD and then #6 is up for grabs (if there is 6)

This song is doing stellar on the charts. It look like it could hit #1 by the end of May!!!
As far as the next single goes, I think it would be unwise to release JAD during the summer. Assuming this CD goes 6 singles deep (a safe bet), I would like Get out of this town to be a single (no one else wants it to be one though :( ), but after LN, I really think Crazy Dreams should be the single. That would be an awesome, fun summer song. If not, I think Flat on the Floor could work, except i dont know why they would release two fast-paced, fun fan-favorite songs right after each other. thus, i think it should go like this:
Crazy Dreams Just a Dream
The last single should be one of the three: Flat on the Floor, Get Out of This Town, or You Wont Find This. I have ruled out ITYS just because its a cover that has already hit #1. Yet if the first 5 singles are HUGELY successful and the label doesnt care about another #1, then ITYS may very well be a single.

^oh really? i heard Brad say somewhere that he named the album that because there were so many songs about cars and it was his 5th album (or something like that). "Some Mistakes" is not one of my favorites from the CD so i never listen to it, that is why i didnt know that
i think it is quite odd that AAG and LN both jumped from 46-28... weird! does anyone have the exact moves for AAG?

Maybe the term "5th Gear" was in his mind because of the song lyric and he thought that was a fitting album title for the reasons you mentioned.

I would much rather have Get Out of This Town as a summer song than Flat on the Floor...especially because Flat on the Floor is fast paced just like Last Name

I think you guys are reading too much into FOTF being the first single on the album. More often than not, the first single on the album is the lead single or the follow-up to the lead single(to start the album with a familiar song). I looked through my latest cd case and found that if the first song wasn't either the lead single or follow-up, that it was only released 1/3 of the time (4 of 12). In other words, since it wasn't the first or second single, don't consider it a lock to be released.

Im learning about sample populations and what it means in terms of polling in statistics. Your CD collection is not an accurate representation of ALL CDs that have had singles released to radio. LOL

Exceptions *Billy Currington "Doin' Somethin' Right": 1. "I Wanna Be A Hillbilly" no releation (not a single)
then there is a few more but due to the last single "flopping" they discontinued songs from their albums. they are: *Darryl Worley *Gretchen Wilson *Eric Church *Heartland *Martina McBride
so 40 recent albums having the 1st song as a single or having something to do with the title. and 1 that didnt release the 1st single and it has nothing to do with the title and doesnt have an excuse
so that is about a 98% chance FOTF will be released and 2% chance that it wont. unless "Last Name" fails horribly and "Just A Dream" does too, then FOTF might not be released
