Someone made a very good point on Twitter. It could be for GH Decade #2. If she was going to release one, this is 10 years since the first collection. Although, in the streaming era, I don't see a point, and would tank, but UMG does still release them.

Wouldn't make sense, but with UMG it's possible. I guess if they had a "Something In The Water" size smash it would be fine. But still, not the move I'd like to see them make. 

I'd guess it's to promote Vegas. Maybe she'll announce more dates and do a few performances that are similar to the show (if that's possible).

I just think a GH#2 would be a silly thing to do now that there is streaming. I understand why GH albums existed before streaming but now it just seems like a silly thing to do and something of the past since most people can access an artist’s work on streaming.

[schnetzka]

I mean personally, I would want a GH#2 for completion sake because the first one is literally called 'Decade #1' lol.

I could see why they might very well go for it though, seeing as how other artists (some from her own generation) have had streaming success with their own GH releases in recent years. The only question would be, is Sony willing to cross-promote with UMG? If I recall correctly, Sony still owns the masters/publishing/etc. to Storyteller, where the four most recognizable Decade #2 hits reside. Unless she does Carrie’s Versions of them, that seems like an obstacle.

The other question is this…what will constitute the best hits from Decade #2? D&R only has a Top 5 in “Ghost Story” and Cry Pretty only has a #1 in “Southbound.” and a Top 5 in the title track. Will they include those Top 5 hits? Will “Drinking Alone” and “Out of That Truck” get the axe? IIDLY is certain to be on the record, as that was her biggest hit in years at the time, and I imagine “The Fighter” will be there as well, as that was Carrie’s first official single (and #1) with UMG. I’d also wager that HGTA will appear.

And the biggest question…will she decide to tack on brand-new-songs, like she did with Decade #1? That alone might very well be the biggest draw for a lot of people.

If it were indeed GH Decade #2, it would probably release around August as her GMA appearance is August 2, and that would mean she needs to announce it within the next couple weeks and have a new song ready to go if she put new songs on it. Knowing her though, I’d wager that it’s Vegas, like everyone else is saying. Seems like such a silly thing to take up an entire GMA concert date for though, imo.

[carrieidol1]

Just please no demo recordings as “bonus material”, what a complete waste of space on GH#1… I found it to be so lazy.

They could’ve given us unreleased tracks, re-recordings of hits, live concert tracks, but instead they gave us demos that are, frankly, hard to listen to. For behind the scenes video content, sure, but just NO as album tracks.


Getting way ahead of myself because I still think 2024 will be a year without new music from Carrie. I’d love to be wrong, but the summer concert thing is probably Vegas related, having nothing to do with new music.

Honestly regarding Sony, I wonder if they could somehow buy the masters for Storyteller. As for the other stuff I still think that all her UMG material was a hit. Yes, including HMH and OOTT. Were they the bonified smashes that made her Carrie Underwood, no, but top 20 is still respectable. I personally think that

Somethin Bad
Smoke Break
Heartbeat
Church Bells
Dirty Laundry
The fighter
The champion
Cry pretty
Love wins
Southbound
Drinking alone
Hallelujah
How great tho art
Nothing but the blood of Jesus or GITF
If I didn’t love you
Ghost story
Hate my heart
Out of that truck

Should all be fair game, if they can work agreements out with the other labels. Heck, let the Cody duet serve as the lead single from it. And maybe add some additional new tracks. Maybe even some special things, I remember she said there was a 5-6 minute version of Cry Pretty, throw it in!

[zaclord 🌈]

HGTA was on the Decade #1 track list so hoping that wouldn’t take up space on a hypothetical Decade #2 track list. I hope she just pretends #1 never happened and saves any new songs for a full new album next year.

[musicfan134]

I would be fully supportive of Carrie doing something next year (or maybe this year) that continues to reflect on her journey thus far. I realize that's what the point of the Vegas residency is, but...for all intents and purposes, it's basically a Greatest Hits show as it is. I want a bit more focus on the B-sides.

I would LOVE some sort of revisit to Some Hearts next year. Maybe a full-on "Carrie's Version" or even just a "Some Hearts Live!" type of concept. By far Carrie's most successful album, I think revisiting it 20 years later would be a fantastic full circle moment.

I don't hate the idea of her doing a covers album either tbh. Maybe we get studio versions of some of her Idol performances (with 2024 vocals) like "Alone", "Independence Day", "Angels Brought Me Here", "Crying", etc. I don't necessarily want all of them, but it'd be nice to get a few and maybe some of the more prolific covers she's done over the years. Things like "Home Sweet Home", "Praying for Time", maybe "Welcome to the Jungle", etc.

I will always be ready for new Carrie music but I'm lowkey ready for another side hustle type of project from her a la My Gift/My Saviour.

[zaclord 🌈]

It would be so like Carrie to do a covers album and put “Independence Day”, “Home Sweet Home”, and “I’ll Stand By You” on it when we already have studio recordings of those haha.

But I’m here for a covers album, just not quite yet imo. I need her to come back with an undeniable smash hit as the next lead single so she can stay radio-relevant a bit longer. Then once we know that’s not gonna happen anymore (honestly unfortunately could be after the next album or two) then get a covers album of rock and/or traditional country songs. Please no gospel/christian music. But I need a solo full studio recording of “Alone” one of these days. She knows we all need it so I hope she eventually delivers. But I don’t want these side projects just yet. This next era is gonna be pivotal to determining her radio/streaming relevancy moving forward and I don’t want her to move to legacy act status yet 😢

[abbeyjones11]

I just have a hard time believing that it's just promo for Vegas. Even if it's just a lead single launch, I'll take it, lol. I do think that it's a good sign that Carrie is doing these TV morning concerts again. Hopefully they will do more when she does releases a new album.

[daddy]

Totally grasping here, but August 2nd is 2 weeks before Post drops his country album. Wishful thinking, but maybe he special guests for a debut performance of a new duet.

[Typo]

I felt like something was up when her creative director, Barry Lather, attended the Fan Club Party. I just don’t buy that he came to Nashville for a 30 minute interview with Carrie.

[zdm1998]

Popping in the between albums ghost town here to say… “Out of that Truck” is still that girl and has a zero burn rate for me. Deserved the moon and the stars but radio was fast asleep on the couch. Will hit 50 million Spotify streams next month, and if streaming holds, will hit 100 million in the next couple of years.

[Typo]

She co-wrote a song titled “Ain’t It Time” with Chaka Khan and David Garcia. Newly registered on ASCAP.

[carrieidol1]

CHAKA KAHN.

Our girl is branching out!!! Good signs, imo.

[musicfan134]

Revisiting some of Carrie's older albums and they are straight fire.

Some Hearts has that cohesiveness that, IMO, is sorely lacking in her latest efforts. I appreciate the mix of country and pop elements. It truly is an album for the ages--the fact that it's her debut album is pretty cool.

Carnival Ride also has a strong feeling of consistency throughout the whole thing, with perhaps her best vocal moments of her career shining front and center on multiple tracks throughout the album. Just a Dream, So Small, I Know You Won't, I Told You So, even All-American Girl and Flat on the Floor are all songs where her vocals SHINE.

Play On is truly a slept on album from Carrie's fanbase. Cowboy Casanova is perhaps the strongest lead of her career to date with the obvious exception of JTTW. Quitter should've been a crossover hit for her, and remains one of my favorites to this day. Mama's Song is forgotten about but really sweet, and I appreciate it more as I get older. Undo It, Songs Like This, This Time, and Unapologize are still super fun songs to sing along to. Temporary Home had one of the greatest videos of her career. What Can I Say and Someday When I Stop Loving You are two of the best ballads of her career, and absolutely deserved single treatment. I remember when the album first came out there was talk of up to six singles coming off of this album, and that absolutely could have happened IMO. Cowboy Casanova, Quitter, SWISLY, Undo It, What Can I Say, and Temporary Home all deserved the singles treatment.

Blown Away's first five tracks really deserve a shrine in Carrie's Hall of Fame all by themselves. While I will admit that album could've been an EP with those first five songs, Wine After Whiskey, and Good in Goodbye, I can't deny the absolute SMASHES all seven of those songs could have been. Even the songs that weren't mentioned weren't as bad as I remember them being, with special mentions to Forever Changed (which is hard for me to listen to) and Cupid's Got a Shotgun (which I bet would be super fun to hear live).

Her first four albums will always be super special to me. Not to say that her newer albums aren't enjoyable to listen to, but these four will always be my first picks when listening to Carrie Underwood music. That Decade #1 was really something special. <3

There's a new trailer out for Beetlejuice 2 and it sounds like Carrie singing in the background. It could expand why she will be on GMA August 2nd.

I don't know for sure though, but it doesn't sound like anyone else.

I just watched the trailer and it doesn't sound anything like Carrie to me lol.

I am trying like hell to figure out where you’re hearing this. Care to post a link with a time stamp so I can try to listen too?

[countryfan1985]

the trailer is on Youtube and its at 1:22. I don't want to get everyone hopes up but the voice sounds like Carrie. It doesn't sound like the singers we all hear.

Carrie's in Hawaii for her two shows this weekend

Unless I am confused, that's the BeeJees.

[jamatthews83]

I...Have you never heard Tragedy before???

[Typo]

July 18th is declared Carrie Underwood Day in Hawaii. Power!

[bigd79]

I don’t hear Carrie at all in that beetlejuice 2 trailer. Not sure if its the bee gees either, but it sounds more like them than carrie imo

It’s the Bee Gees. Turning the closed captions on for that YouTube link reveals such.

August 2 remains a mystery…surely it’s gotta be huge, right? Or maybe we’re all just projecting our fantasies for Year 20, lol. 

[abbeyjones11]

I just have a hard time believing that she and her team would waste a still decent promo opportunity like doing one of the morning show concerts just for the sake of doing it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

I’m sure it’s for something. We just might not know what that is yet. : )

[carrieidol1]

Here’s an idea!? Maybe, just maybe, they intend to use Carrie’s Hawaii’s shows for some kind of streaming concert release? Maybe GMA is a plug for something like that?

While she was due for shows in Hawaii, the timing and such is quite random. YET, Carrie’s social media is going all out with the Hawaii posts… The whole “Carrie Underwood Day” thing was also kinda random, if not for something bigger… like footage for a streaming release?

Just a thought…

Ooh maybe like a documentary kinda thing too where it follows her when she gets there and gets ready for the concert too. It’s so beautiful there it would make for such a good movie/concert video!
