Carrie Underwood is riding on an all time high. The famous country singer is perhaps the most successful graduate of the American Idol Franchise. After successfully hosting the CMA Awards this year, a Best Selling Artist for 2009 recognition, Carrie adds another feather in her cap with her chart-topping album, “Play On”.

This is the second album of Carrie’s that has gone to number one in the Billboard charts in the last two years. In 2005, Carnival Ride, her debut album, soared to the charts establishing her as a singer to watch for.

Following Play On is the soundtrack from the greatest of legends’ last performance, Michael Jackson. This Is It stayed on number one for one week only to be out-seated by Carrie Underwood.

Here is the rest of the Billboard rankings from this report via MTV:

The top 10 will get some other fresh blood, including a #3 bow for tenor Andrea Bocelli’s My Christmas (149,000) and a #4 debut for the soundtrack to the hit choir competition show “Glee,” which moved more than 113,000 copies after dominating the iTunes singles download charts for weeks. Also dropping in are the latest in the hits series Now That’s What I Call Music, Vol. 32 at #5 (102,000) and Weezer’s Raditude, which lands at #7 (66,000).

The rest of the top 10: Taylor Swift’s Fearless (#6, 70,000), Michael Bublé’s Crazy Love (#8, 59,000), Sting’s If on a Winter’s Night (#9, 59,000) and the “New Moon” soundtrack (#10, 52,000).

Just outside the top tier, the Foo Fighters hit #11 with their first greatest-hits compilation (44,000), followed by metal stalwarts Slayer with the cheerily titled World Painted Blood (#12, 41,000). The news was not great for reunited rockers Creed, whose first album in eight years, Full Circle, drops 12 spots to #14 in week two, after sales plummeted 65 percent to 39,000. Jay-Z’s The Blueprint 3 has fallen out of the top 10 for the first time since its debut two months ago, dropping to #15 (38,000).
