"Inside Your Heaven" is a song written by Andres Carlsson, Pelle Nyhlén, Savan Kotecha and produced by Desmond Child. Two versions of the song were released as singles in 2005 (see 2005 in music): one by American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, and another by Idol runner-up Bo Bice.
Underwood's recording of the song, released on June 14, 2005 in the U.S., debuted at number one on the Canadian Singles Chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. It was certified gold by the RIAA and two times platinum by the CRIA, and it was later included on her debut album Some Hearts. The B-side is a cover of the Martina McBride song "Independence Day".
Bice's version of "Inside Your Heaven" was released on June 21, 2005 and peaked at number two on the Hot 100. It became the first single in the history of Billboard to actually replace the winner's song at #1 on the Hot Single Sales chart. It was certified gold by the RIAA, and like Underwood's version it topped Billboard's Pop 100 chart. The B-side is a cover of the song "Vehicle" by Ides of March.
Underwood's recording went on to become the Top-Selling song of the year in the Billboard charts. The song won the Billboard music awards for "Top-selling Country Single of the year" and "Top-selling hot 100 song of the year" (Bice's version was also nominated in this category). It also helped Underwood win the award for "Country single sales Artist of the year". To date, Underwood's single has sold 457,000 copies, compared to Bice's 347,000.
