Blown Away my 100th Post

This is my 100th Post on This Is Country Music. I have loved this blog and the opportunity it has given me to share my love of country music with you. The post to receive the most hits can be found here. At the time the 100th post was written it had received 6,565 views. Now to talk about this song!

Blown Away is the fourth studio album from American country singer Carrie Underwood. It was released in the United States and Canada on May 1, 2012. The album debuted at number one on Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 267,000 copies. (Source)
   

It became the second-largest opening of 2012. With Blown Away reaching number one, Underwood became the third female to chart at number one on the Billboard 200 with three country albums, tying her with Linda Ronstadt and Faith Hill. Like her three previous albums, Blown Away debuted at the top of the Country Albums chart, making Underwood the second female to send every album released to number one, along with Miranda Lambert. The album remained at number one for a second week on the Billboard 200, becoming Underwood's first album to spend more than one week at the top. (Source)

Kenny Chesney - Young

This song was on the radio this morning as I was driving to work. It really hit me especially after talking to a friend over the weekend about how we never thought time would fly the way our parents told us it would. Now I look back and see all that I have accomplished and the many different chapters in my book that I have closed. Thank you Kenny for putting the music to my thoughts and feelings.
