Oh and, highest debut on Hot Country Songs by a female solo artist: "So Small", #20

SS was also one of the biggest jumping song on the Hot 100.

Some old records:

Biggest-Selling Album Since Its Debut: "Some Hearts" (Broken by ADELE's "21")
Biggest-Selling Digital Country Single: "Before He Cheats" (Broken by Taylor Swift's "Love Story") - There was also a ringtone record somewhere!
Biggest-Opening Digital Country Lead Single Released by a Solo Artist: "Cowboy Casanova" (Broken by Taylor Swift's "Mine")
Longest-Staying Song on the Hot 100 in the New Century Released by a Female Solo Artist: "Before He Cheats" (Broken by ADELE's "Rolling In The Deep")
Most #1 Videos on CMT Top 20 (Perhaps she still has it on GAC?)

She's very obviously the #2 biggest-selling digital country artist of all-time as well. And probably the second-biggest selling country artist in the new century as well.
There are 3 songs which topped the Hot Country Songs for 6 straight weeks released by female solo artists I recall, so "Jesus Take The Wheel" got some ranking there.

You're very welcome, Gator. With the latter portion of the year still to come, perhaps Carrie will achieve 1.3-1.5 million albums and 5 million tracks sold in the year 2012! It has been and is gonna be a very exciting Blown Away era!
