CNN reports Carrie Underwood just became the first female country artist to have four No. 1 albums at the top of the all-genre charts.
"Cry Pretty" topped the Billboard 200 chart for the week ending September 20, selling 266,000 equivalent album units. Of that, 251,000 were traditional album sales.
Underwood's latest album is "the biggest for any country album since Aug. 29, 2015, when Luke Bryan's 'Kill the Lights' bowed at No. 1 with 345,000 units earned."
In addition to her latest, the singer also topped the charts with "Carnival Ride" in 2007, "Play On" in 2009 and "Blown Away" in 2012.
Underwood also surpassed the previous record of biggest sales week by a female artist so far in 2018.
