Kelly Clarkson continues to soar high in terms of track sales of her single Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You), but Carrie Underwood made her way again to the top of the Billboard 200 with her latest album Blown Away that was released on May 1.

"Blown Away" topped the charts

The album sold 267,000 copies in its first week - more than double the sales of this week’s runner up Little Broken Hearts by Norah Jones. The album is number 1 also in Canada and the US Top Country Albums. The hype also made her two previous albums re-enter the album chart - Some Hearts (#138) and Play On (#176). Her album Carnival Ride also had sales boost.
