Carrie Underwood

This weeks Soundscan numbers are in & the Some Hearts juggernaut just keeps rolling along. But, unfortunaley Jesus Take The Wheel is no longer the #1 song on the Country charts. It had an incredible 1 1/2 month run though so it will make way now for Don't Forget To Remember Me when that song is released in the next couple of weeks.

The album moves back into the Top 10 & finishes at #7. It remains as the #1Country album & outsold the #2 by almost 150%. Talk about having legs. Selling almost 88,000 units this long after the original release is pretty phenominal.

#7 Some Hearts 87,371 (Total: 2,184,016)

I think it would be great if she would just stick around another day & join Heart on stage for Alone. Afterall, they will be on stage together on March 10 so they will be familiar to each other.

The Soundscan numbers are out for this week, & it was a rough week for everyone. Only 1 album sold more than 100k & almost everyone else was down from last week anywhere from 10%-40%. Carrie held her own & remains in the Top 10 finishing at #9 on the Billboard Top 200. She remains at #1 on the Country Charts for the 13th week out of 15 & outsold the #2 album by almost 19,000. She may drop out of that spot next week due to Alan Jackson releasing a new album.

#9 Some Hearts 61,407 (Total: 2,245,423)
