Country superstar and American Idol Season 4 champ Carrie Underwood revealed last month that she would release Greatest Hits: Decade #1 on December 9th in celebration of the 10 years since her initial Idol audition, and subsequently hinted at “raw” extras being that people hadn’t heard before from her. Well, it looks like Best Buy has revealed the tracklist, including those bonus extras Carrie’s promised. UPDATE: Track list is now CONFIRMED via press release, which also says the album will be available for digital preorders starting 11/4.
First off, what to do when all 17 singles you’ve released from your own albums have made the t2 on country radio, with 16 hitting Mediabase #1? Release a double disc of greatest hits! Carrie’s Greatest Hits: Decade #1 (she has said she’s hoping the title gives good vibes so she gets to release another greatest hits album with new hits down the road) will include all her officially promoted singles to country radio, 2 original songs (as noted in the comments section, this may play into Carrie, her team, and Arista Nashville’s intended timeline for her 5th studio album) including her current hit single “Something In The Water,” her smash “Remind Me” duet with Brad Paisley an audio version of her viral, show-stopping performance of “How Great Thou Art” with accompaniment by Vince Gill from 2011’s ACM Girls Night Out, and 3 worktapes from writing sessions for 3 of her hits. Also included? Carrie’s LOLzy Idol coronation song, which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
