[edit] History

Underwood's album made its debut at #2 on the Billboard 200, slightly behind Madonna's Confessions on a Dance Floor, selling more than 315,000 copies, which are the second best first-week sales for any American Idol winner (behind Ruben Studdard's Soulful which sold over 400,000 copies in its first week). The album debuted at number two on the Worldwide Chart. However, the album's sales kept up so well that with its Quadruple Platinum certification, Some Hearts is the best-selling debut album coming from any American Idol finalist, and the highest selling country debut album of the Soundscan Era. It was certified platinum four weeks after its release for shipments of over one million copies, double platinum in early January 2006, triple platinum in April 2006, and quadruple platinum in November 2006. The album has sold 4.1 million copies as of December 2006. In fact, the album went on to sell over 120,000 copies more than after a year of it's release in just one week. Some Hearts was one of the best selling albums of 2006, and the best selling album of the Billboard Year: Nov 14, 05 - Nov 12, 06.

The first single off the album was "Inside Your Heaven" which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The follow-up single, "Jesus, Take The Wheel", was #1 on the Hot Country Songs Chart for 6 consecutive weeks and reached a peak of #20 on the Hot 100. "Some Hearts" was released to pop and adult contemporary radio only and eventually reached #12 on the Adult Contemporary chart. "Don't Forget to Remember Me" was the third single from the album, and has also proved to be successful, reaching #1 on the Radio And Records Country Chart and #2 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart. "Before He Cheats" has been released as the latest single, and climbed up the charts faster than any of her other singles, making it into the top 20 of the Billboard Hot Country Song Chart before releasing a video. "Before He Cheats" subsequently peaked at number 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs for 5 consecutive weeks and has peaked at 16 on the Hot 100 Chart, proving to be a moderate crossover hit and the biggest hit overall off her debut album. In the week of November 6, 2006, the album lept back up to number eight on the Billboard 200 chart on its 52nd week on the charts, showing persistent selling strength. Her album has garnered 4.1 million in US sales. Her worldwide debut album sales figures beat any other American Idol winner and contestants. "Wasted" hasn't been announced as the next single from Some Hearts, but has already started gaining airplay on Country stations while "Before He Cheats" is now gaining Mainstream Airplay.
