Carrie Marie Underwood(born March 10, 1983) is
an American country singer. She
rose to prominence after winning the fourth season of American Idol in 2005. Her single "Inside Your Heaven"
made her the only country artist to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the only solo country artist in the 2000s to have a
number-one song on the Hot 100. Her debut album, Some Hearts(2005),
was bolstered by the successful crossover singles "Jesus, Take
the Wheel" and "Before He Cheats",
becoming the best-selling solo female debut album in country music history. She
won three Grammy Awards for the album, including Best New
Artist. The next studio album, Carnival Ride(2007),
had one of the biggest opening weeks of all time by a female artist and won two
Grammy Awards. Her third studio album, Play On(2009),
was preceded by the single "Cowboy Casanova",
which had one of the biggest single-week upward movements on the Hot 100.
She achieved the second best-selling release
by a woman in 2012 and won a Grammy Award with her fourth album, Blown Away(2012).
Her compilation Greatest
Hits: Decade #1(2014) spawned the crossover
single "Something in the Water".
Her fifth studio album, Storyteller(2015),
made her the only country artist to have all studio albums reach either numbers
one or two on the Billboard 200 chart. With her sixth album, Cry Pretty(2018),
she became the only woman to top the Billboard 200 with four country albums and
had the biggest week for any album by a woman in 2018. She released her first Christmas project,
My Gift, in
2020, and first gospel collection, My Savior, in
2021, to critical acclaim.
Blown Away is the fourth studio album by
American singer and songwriter Carrie Underwood.
It was released in the United States and Canada on May 1, 2012, by Arista Nashville. After
finishing her successful Play On Tour in
December 2010 to promote her third studio album Play On,
Underwood started working on the album, but took her time, as she "wanted
to change things up", and needed to step away from the "celebrity
bubble" to "have real things to write about and to sing about". It took her over one year to
finish the album, which, according to Underwood, ended up having a "darker
storyline" than her previous efforts.
Met with mostly positive reviews from music critics, the
album became a commercial success. It debuted at number one on Billboard 200, with
first-week sales of 267,000 copies, achieving the third-largest opening of
2012. With Blown Away reaching number one, Underwood became the third female to
chart at number one on the Billboard 200 with three country albums, tying her
with Linda Ronstadt and Faith Hill. Like
her three previous albums, Blown Away debuted at the top of the Top Country Albums chart. The album remained at number one for a second week on the Billboard
200, becoming her first album to spend more than one week at the top of that
chart. It
topped the "Top Country Albums" chart for seven weeks.
Blown Away was the seventh best selling album
overall and second best-selling country album of 2012 in the US. It finished
2012 with over 1.4 million copies sold worldwide, according to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry.
Blown Away has since sold around 1.8 million copies in the US and over two
million copies worldwide. In January 2020, the album was certified 3x-Platinum
by the RIAA.
It spawned the Billboard Hot 100 Top 20 and Country Airplay number-one singles "Good Girl"
and "Blown Away",
along with the Country Airplay top-two hits "Two Black
Cadillacs" and "See You Again". All
singles received multi-Platinum or Platinum certifications.
Two black Cadillacs driving in a slow parade
Headlights shining bright in the middle of the day
One is for his wife
The other for the woman who loved him at night
Two black Cadillacs meeting for the first time
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Two black Cadillacs
Two black Cadillacs
Two months ago, his
wife called the number on his phone
Turns out he'd been lying to both of them for oh so long
They decided then, he'd never get away with doing this to them
Two black Cadillacs waiting for the right time, right time
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah
(Two black Cadillacs)
It was the first and
the last time they saw each other face to face
They shared a crimson smile and just walked away
And left the secret at the grave
And the preacher said
he was a good man
And his brother said he was a good friend
But the women in the two black veils didn't bother to cry
(Bye bye, bye bye)
Yeah, they took turns
laying a rose down
Threw a handful of dirt into the deep ground
He's not the only one who had a secret to hide
Bye bye, bye bye, bye bye
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
