^ Well, I am definitely down for any combination of Mexico, Chaser, DL, CCA, or even Relapse next.
That is a sign of a GREAT album-- that there are so many amazing single choices. There are more options on this album than any prior album.
She’s done it again! Carrie Underwood has snagged her 24[SUP]th[/SUP] No. 1 single with her current radio hit, “Church Bells.”
The song hit the top spot on the Billboard country charts as well as on the Mediabase country charts this week, marking Underwood’s third chart-topping single off her latest album, Storyteller. The twangy hit also made for a very popular concert music video, which documented what a standard concert by Underwood looks like on her Storyteller Tour.
This No. 1 single comes on the heels of her other recent hits, “Smoke Break,” and “Heartbeat,” which features the background vocals of Sam Hunt.
At the moment, Underwood has been celebrating her success on a quick break from her tour as she just went on vacation in Mexico with her husband, Mike Fisher, for their sixth wedding anniversary. She’ll head back out on the road for the second leg of the Storyteller Tour starting in Anchorage, Alaska, on August 31.
With football season on its way, Underwood also recorded a brand new theme to the 2016 NFL Sunday Night Football called “Oh Sunday Night,” modeled after her 2014 hit with Miranda Lambert, “Something Bad.”
Come November, Underwood will take up her co-hosting duties once again with fellow country artist Brad Paisley to host the 50[SUP]th[/SUP] Annual CMA Awards on November 2 from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The awards will air that night on ABC at 8 p.m. EST.
Carrie Underwood’s “Church Bells” (19/Arista Nashville) rises 2-1 in its16th week on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart (dated July 30), increasing by 4 percent to 48.9 million audience impressions, according to Nielsen Music.
The track becomes Underwood’s 15th Country Airplay No. 1, extending her mark for the most leaders among women, dating to the chart’s launch on Jan. 20, 1990. Reba McEntire is second among women with 11 No. 1s; Tim McGraw leads all acts with 28.
“Church,” the third single from Underwood’s fifth studio album, Storyteller,follows “Heartbeat,” which paced the Country Airplay chart dated March 26,and “Smoke Break,” which peaked at No. 2 (Dec. 5, 2015). Storyteller, her sixth No. 1 on Top Country Albums (encompassing all of her appearances), has sold 621,000 copies in the United States, dating to its chart-topping debut (Nov. 14, 2015).
On the Hot Country Songs chart, which combines airplay, sales and streaming data, “Church” holds at its No. 2 high.
There's a guy on Pulse who maintains a list of all the #1 Hits so I used it to make a list of just the Female Artists solo or group with at least 5 Billboard #1's. The earlier artist is listed first in case of ties.

Now the wait for the announcement of single #4 officially begins lol
According to a Twitter poll with 101 votes, here's how it broke down with what fans want- 54% CCA, 26% DL, 10% RR, and 10% other. Interesting as CCA is the clear favorite there and on here it seems! I want DL next and then CCA can be 5th- If Carrie performs at the Grammys she would likely do the 5th single if there was one and could y'all imagine a CCA Grammy performance with the harmonica?! Omg talk about making headlines!
Never thought that way. Yeah Carrie performing Choctaw County Affair at the Grammys definitely would be the story of night! I Hope she does a 5th single!
