From her Double-Platinum current release, Carnival Ride, “Last Name” is the album’s third #1 single – including “So Small” and “All-American Girl” – all of which were co-written by Carrie. Underwood’s first album, the 7x-Platinum juggernaut, Some Hearts, launched four country chart-toppers beginning with the first single serviced to country radio, the GRAMMY-winning “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” and continuing with “Don’t Forget to Remember Me,” GRAMMY winner “Before He Cheats,” and “Wasted.”
