Carrie Underwood Aims For Crossover Success

Arista Nashville, a division of RCA Label Group, is partnering with 19 Recordings and J Records in New York to promote ‘American Idol’ season four champ Carrie Underwood’s November 15 debut, ‘Some Hearts.’ Underwood is depending on both labels to shepherd her efforts. “They know what they’re doing,” she says. “I’m a country singer, but because of my exposure on ‘American Idol,’ I might tend to cross over naturally.”
