Carrie Underwood rose to fame as the winner of American Idol Season Four. Now a four-time Grammy Award winner, the 2009 Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year, the reigning Country Music Association (CMA) and Academy of Country Music (ACM) Female Vocalist of the Year, Carrie is a bona fide country music superstar. Her newest album, Play On, for which she collaborated with producer Mark Bright, will be released November 3 on 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville. The album's debut single, "Cowboy Casanova," is the fastest-rising hit of the year on country radio, exploding with massive first-week sales of 110,236 digital copies. The achievement marks Carrie's claim as the only solo country artist to debut a digital single this year above the 100,000 units mark – a feat she's accomplished not once, but twice. Carrie also found success with her single "Home Sweet Home," which served as the farewell music on Idol last season. Earlier this year, Carrie became the first country artist in history to have 10 No. 1 singles from her first two albums, including "I Told You So," "Just a Dream," "So Small," "All-American Girl" and "Last Name." To date, Carrie is the best-selling American Idol winner in the U.S. with album sales of more than 10 million. She will also co-host the 43rd Annual CMA Awards this November.
Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special, a production of Big Red 2 Entertainment, is executive-produced by Simon Fuller, Nigel Lythgoe and Adam Shankman. Shankman and Lythgoe also serve as directors of the special.
