Carrie Underwood is a Grammy-award winning American country music singer who won the fourth season of American Idol. She has since become a multi-platinum selling recording artist. Her debut album, Some Hearts, was certified quintuple platinum, and is the fastest selling debut country album in Nielsen SoundScan history. It is also the top selling debut album of any Idol winner or contestant. Underwood is the first American Idol winner to sweep up honors at all three major music awards in the same awards show season (06-07), including one American Music Award, five Billboard Music Awards, and two Grammy Awards (including Best New Artist).
Underwood was born at Muskogee Regional Medical Center in Muskogee, Oklahoma, and grew up on her parents' farm in rural Checotah, Oklahoma. She graduated from Checotah High School in 2001 as salutatorian. After high school, she attended Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, where she graduated magna cum laude in 2006 with a bachelor's degree in mass communication and an emphasis in journalism.
On May 25, 2005, Underwood was crowned the winner of American Idol (Season 4) beating out Bo Bice.
Underwood's debut album, entitled Some Hearts, hit store shelves on November 15, 2005, entering the Billboard 200 chart with 315,000 copies sold. The large first week sales of Some Hearts made it #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart and the biggest debut of any country artist since the advent of the SoundScan system in 1991.
