- Cover of Carnival Ride
The biggest single off Carnival Ride, “Before He Cheats,” has long been an anthem for many a country music and Carrie Underwood lover.
“Cheats” has been on pop and country music charts for so long that it will probably still maintain some radio play into Carrie’s next album slated for this fall. And now, the song has been named one of the 50 top selling digital songs of all time on a list composed of songs sold on iTunes, Amazon, and other digital stores.
Coming in at #40, Carrie is in good company on a list topped by Flo Rida, Lady Gaga, Timbaland, Jason Mraz, Soulja Boy, and Coldplay. Interestingly, Carrie and Taylor Swift (#9 with Love Story), recently referred to as “Country’s New Face,” were the only country artists to make the list. Seeing as Carrie and Taylor seem to have transcended genre borders with their music more than any other country artists in the past few years, it’s great to see the numbers are reflecting their success.
