Carrie Underwood | "Blown Away" Era

[musicfan20]

Are they going to release the tour on DVD?

[realityBITES]

Carrie Underwood lands her 12th million-seller this week with “I Told You So,” a 2009 collabo with Randy Travis. This puts her in a tie with Kelly Clarkson for the most million-sellers by an American Idol contestant. Underwood’s tally includes two collaborations (“Remind Me” with Brad Paisley and “I Told You So”). Clarkson’s includes one (Jason Aldean’s “Don’t You Wanna Stay,” on which she was featured).

Here is the BBC 2 radio interview

[bornfearless2000]

She is so beautiful, it's unfair :'(


Just finished listening to CItyHope interview. Carrie is sooo humble. She claimed that she's 'not smart' but we all know she graduated with 'magna cum laude' .

great concert stats for Carrie but she has a VERY popular opening act, still impressive.
TWO BLACK CADILACS seems to be underperforming sales wise. ???? i dont really keep up with her past singles sales. but sales seem very low for that song!

[Deleted]

Full sellouts for the entire second half of the tour thus far. Looks good! Can't wait for videos to surface of her international shows.

Oh, and here's the full-length, uncut AXS concert video.

I can remember hearing lots of complaints about Hunter when the tour was beginning.
Looks like he was an excellent choice.

TBC isn't doing great sales wise, but I disagree with the opening act statement. Hunter is good, but I don't think he's driving attendance at all.

One of my really good friends met Carrie on the streets of Dublin today! She was so excited, because this is Carrie's first international tour, and her first time seeing Carrie. Can't wait to ask her about it.

Carrie Underwood was recently presented with a plaque commemorating 2 million sales transactions of her smash single and album title track, “Blown Away.”

Sales of a single that is following up a massive smash are always a lot slower than normal for the most part. TBC is Gold. Good enough for me.

Double-posting, don't care. Oops. #learningthehardway

Ireland videos are starting to emerge!

From the Olympia Theatre in Dublin...

"Jesus Take the Wheel"/"How Great Thou Art"
"I Told You So"
"Flat On the Floor" (just listen to it -- if you watch, you'll probably get epilepsy)

Edited to consolidate posts. Stop double-posting. -dudley

[carrieidol1]

HGTA sounded great! A little flat at the highest notes, but after such a long setlist, that's understandable.

[peterca]

I looked up the weekly sales of Carrie's singles and TBC is actually in the middle of the pack in sales after 15 weeks.

Sales 15 weeks after release:
1. BA 1,167k
2. RM 983k
3. GG 982k
4. CC 915k
5. UI 667k
6. ITYS 524k
7. TBC 504k
8. LN 441k
9. AAG 402k
10. SS 401k
11. TH 383k
12. JAD 347k
13. BHC 344k
14. Wasted 321k
15. MS 264k
16. JTTW 255k
17. DFTRM - no available data

Edit: forgot to add JAD

[jptexas]

If TBC is ahead of JTTW, BHC, LN, and AAG after 15 weeks, platinum sales shouldn't be an issue. Just sayin.

[bornfearless2000]

All sellouts!!

Thanks for this. TBC is doing fine.

Take one look at the Top 3 songs in this list and it's obvious why TBC sales seem "weak". It is following right after 3 consecutive HUGE sellers, especially BA.

[peterca]

I think TBC sales will be similar to UI and LN. Both BHC and JTTW were late bloomers and continue to sell very well. TBC is doing better than her slower-selling platinum singles SS and JAD (sorry forgot to add that). With a performance at the ACM and possibly Idol, TBC will coast into Platinum status some time late this year.

Cuteness.

Carrie held an onstage marriage proposal for two fans at her concert in Belfast!

very interesting. considering like all of those were number one country hits, i would expect much higher sales.
but i think Carrie is an album seller. her albums tend to sell very very well

[metsfan]

She has 12 singles that have sold a million copies! I think she's doing OK. ;)

Seeing as the Top 5 are some of her most recent singles (for a person whose career-definining smash came from 7 years and 3 albums ago), her sales are perfectly fine. She's not a pop star that can garner 5x platinum or 6x platinum hits, and her sales are incredible for a country act.

That was each song's sales after 15 weeks, not their total sales as of now. Most of those songs have at least doubled the number you see on that list.

Carrie tweeted :

I just found out "Two Black Cadillacs" is number one! Thanks fans, Country Radio and Arista Nashville promo team for the hard work! Woo hoo!

Water is wet, sky is blue, I'm still not rich, and Carrie has another number one
single. All is right with the world.

^Hm. "Do You Think About Me" was the only album track that they played on the radio during that interview...hint at the next single?

Oh, and Carrie has an official iPhone app now! t.co/JILAXUEM0w

ETA: Some more videos of her Ireland shows have surfaced -- she's doing quite a few songs that she doesn't do in the states tour!

"Some Hearts"
"Quitter"

Intro & "Good Girl", "Blown Away", and "Cowboy Casanova" at the O₂ Arena! She looks HOT.

[nightshade]

I am still rooting for SYA to be a single in the U.S.
Let this future pop-crossover slay.
