Carrie Underwood has not won another award this week. We'll have to wait and see how she does at the American Music Awards this weekend. I suspect she's gonna have some tough competition from teen star Taylor Swift. She's a cute young country girl who is making it big riding on Carrie Underwood's coat tails. After Carrie become the Season Four Miss American Idol, she opened the door for country music to have a place on the mainstream pop charts right next to the rock, dance and hip hop. So along comes Taylor Swift who isn't nearly as cute as Carrie and can barely sing a note in tune, but she's selling hundreds of thousands of CDs each week.
Taylor Swift released her second CD last week and she exploded onto the chart at #1 after selling 592,000 copies. That meant that Season Seven Miss American Idol 1st Runner Up David Archuleta had to settle for coming in at #2 on the Billboard albums chart. He managed to move 183,000 copies of his self-titled CD in its first week. Now we'll have to see how the Season Seven Miss American Idol winner David Cook does next week. For another week in a row David Archuleta's single Crush is still in the top 20 on the Billboard HOT 100 while David Cook's single Light On is still no where to be found in the top 50.
Meanwhile, Carrie Underwood, after her phenomenal performance at the CMA's, has reached a new peak on the Billboard HOT 100 with her wonderful song Just A Dream at #29.
