NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) _ Oklahoma native Carrie Underwood has won ``American Idol'', sold 6 million copies of her first album, won two Grammy awards and has three Number 1 country hits.

Still she says she's nervous about the pending release of her second album.

The album ``Carnival Ride'' will be available in stores beginning tomorrow and Underwood says the mid-set of ``Can we top the first one'' set in early.

But she says she won't measure success strictly on the number of album sales because she thinks this album is better than the first.

The first single from ``Carnival Ride'' is ``So Small'' and is already Number 5 and rising on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart.
