CARRIE'S NATION: There are only a handful of artists who can release albums titled "Number Ones" or "1s" or some variation thereof, including Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Mariah Carey, Michael Jackson, George Strait and Diana Ross & the Supremes. She's not quite ready to follow suit, but she's working on it: Carrie Underwood collects her seventh No. 1 as "Just a Dream" (19/Arista) advances 3-1 on Hot Country Songs. "Just a Dream" is the fourth single from Underwood's sophomore album, "Carnival Ride." All four singles, including "So Small," "All-American Girl" and "Last Name," have achieved pole position. That makes Underwood the first solo female artist to pull four No. 1s from one album since Shania Twain did it in 1995-1996 with a quartet of tracks from "The Woman In Me." It has been three years and five months since Underwood made her country chart debut with a cover of Rascal Flatts' "Bless the Broken Road." That's the second fastest accumulation of seven No. 1s for a solo female artist in the 64-year history of this tally. The only woman to earn seven No. 1s at a faster pace is Tammy Wynette, who took two years, 10 months and two weeks from the debut of "Apartment #9" in December 1966 to her seventh chart-topper, "The Ways to Love a Man," in October 1969. Here is a list of the solo female artists who have topped the country songs chart seven or more times, and how long it took them to go from chart debut to that seventh No. 1: Tammy Wynette (two years, 10 months, two weeks) Carrie Underwod (three years, five months) Shania Twain (five years, one month, one week) Faith Hill (six years, two months, one week) Janie Fricke (seven years, two months, three weeks) Rosanne Cash (eight years, five months, one week) Reba McEntire (nine years, six months, one week) Crystal Gayle (nine years, seven months) Dolly Parton (10 years, 10 months, two weeks) Loretta Lynn (11 years, seven months, three weeks) Anne Murray (13 years, four months, one week) Emmylou Harris (13 years, five months, two weeks) Tanya Tucker (14 years, five months, one week) Counting from first No. 1 to seventh, Wynette wins for speed again. From the time her duet with David Houston on "My Elusive Dreams" topped the chart in September 1967, it took two years, one month and one week to get to her seventh No. 1. Using this criterion, Underwood would be in third place among solo female artists with Shania Twain scoring a narrow victory for the runner-up spot. It's so close between them, it's worth counting in days from first No. 1 to seventh. It took Twain two years, nine months, one week and three days, while Underwood took two years, nine months, two weeks and four days. When it comes to number of No. 1 hits this decade, there is no contest. Underwood was already the leader and simply extends her total with seven. There is a three-way tie for second place between Sara Evans, Faith Hill and Jo Dee Messina, who all have three. "Just a Dream" brings the total of No. 1s for the "American Idol" franchise to 209, counting all national, domestic charts compiled by Billboard.
