Greatest Hits: Decade #1 is the first greatest hits double album by American singer Carrie Underwood, released on December 9, 2014, via Arista Nashville.
The album contains every single from Underwood’s first four studio albums: Some Hearts (2005), Carnival Ride (2007), Play On (2009), and Blown Away (2012), along with additional tracks (12, 17, 22, 23, 24 and 25). Two newly recorded songs were included as well: “Something in the Water” and “Little Toy Guns.”
I can’t believe it’s been a decade since I auditioned for American Idol. Looking back at the songs I’ve released over the years lets me relive my amazing journey. Even better I get to include new music for the fans! So much has happened since then. In some ways it feels like it was a million years ago; in some ways it feels like it was just yesterday. I remember as a kid just being so excited whenever someone would come out with a greatest hits because it was all my favorites in one little package. I’m honored that I’ve had that much love and support over the past 10 years that I get to have one. I’m blessed, and I’m so happy that I still get to do what I love.
