Well I think it is no surprise that Carrie Underwood's third album Play On debuted at #1 on both Billboard's country and all-genres charts, to go along with the #1 song for the same week "Cowboy Casanova". This is Carrie's second trip to the top of the Billboard all-genre chart, she did so in 2007 with Carnival Ride. Play On sold just over 318,000 making it the highest album debut by any female of any genre in 2009. "Cowboy Casanova" marks Carrie's 11th #1, making her the only artist to have ever accomplished this feat off of the strength of her first three albums, note that they were all consecutive, every song she has released has gone to the top! WOW.
Underwood took a break from her Play On media blitz to host the CMA's last week, now it's back to work. She has a line up of shows scheduled in L.A.. Last night she appeared on the Tonight Show, performing her upcoming second single from Play On "Temporary Home" and it was pitch perfect. She heads to Jimmy Kimmel tonight and off to Ellen tomorrow.
"Temporary Home" is set to hit radio officially on Dec. 14th, one week after her Variety Show Special, which apparently has an amazing performance of the song which chocked up the audience. "Cowboy Casanova" is Underwood's fastest rising single to date, after only 9 weeks its #1. I predict this inspirational ballad will get there even faster.
CMT has already started show casing it. They have put up the performance from her Invitation Only special which is set to air Dec. 1st. They have also added it to there video countdown even though it is not the official video. It is currently the most streamed video today. So here her performance from last night on the Tonight Show enjoy!
