Carrie Underwood’s My Savior debuts at the top of the Billboard Country Album chart, as well as the Billboard Christian Album chart. In addition, My Savior is named No. 1 Billboard Top Album, as well as Billboard Top Country Album and Billboard Top Christian Album (all pure album sales), not to mention No 1 Current Digital Albums. The collection enters the overall Billboard 200 at No. 4.

Carrie says she grew up singing these hymns in church and says revisiting them for her new album, My Savior, felt like home.

“These particular songs for My Savior, you know, I grew up singing these in church and my church that we go to right now they play a lot of very contemporary Christian songs, praise and worship songs, and it’s great. But every once in a while, they’ll kind of throw in like a chorus or something of some hymn that I grew up with and there’s an immediate sense of home when I hear that. And that’s kind of where I was at when we were recording this,” says Carrie. “It should be like a warm hug, and I feel like there’s so many people that are like me that kind of long for that. You think back to that sense of home and your church that you grew up in with the pews. I mean it’s just one of those things that it just feels like home. And after a year like last year, I feel like people are definitely searching. A lot of people were thrown out of their daily routines and trying to figure life out and be more introspective or kind of slow down. We were all forced to slow down.”

Carrie streamed a live Easter performance of My Savior from Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium, featuring special guests NEEDTOBREATHE’s Bear Rinehart, CeCe Winans, Mac McAnally and Buddy Greene, on Facebook on Sunday. The show is still available for a limited time, and you’re also able to continue to donate to Save the Children.
