Cry Pretty, Carrie Underwood's sixth studio album, debuts at #1 this week with 259,697 total units. That's the largest opening for a Country album since Luke Bryan's Kill the Lights in August of 2015.
Carrie not only delivers the biggest Country release of the year so far, but she breaks a record among female Country acts: she now has more #1 albums than any other woman in Country music. Cry Pretty is her fourth album to hit the top spot, a total met by no other woman in her genre. It follows Blown Away (2012), Play On (2009), and Carnival Ride (2007). Her other two studio albums, Some Hearts (2005) and Storyteller (2015), debuted and peaked at #2. Her greatest hits package, Greatest Hits: Decade #1 (2014) peaked at #3.
These are the other female Country artists with the most #1 albums:
Taylor Swift - 3
Faith Hill - 3
Shania Twain - 2
Reba McEntire - 2
Linda Ronstadt - 2
A well deserved debut for Carrie.
