2007'S MOST POPULAR: CARRIE UNDERWOOD
Faith Hill was only kidding, folks, when she feigned outrage at Carrie Underwood's win at the 2006 CMA Awards, but viewers may've been truly shocked by the now-24-year-old's meteoric rise. In 2007, Underwood further solidified her country bona fides with a confident, twangy No. 1 album, Carnival Ride, that vindicated all the promise and possibility American Idol aspires to offer. —Jeff Labreque
