Carrie Underwood’s sophomore CD was released on Tuesday of this week.

Based on first day sales and projections, she is headed for a #1 debut and could sell up to 450,000 in week one, PerezHilton.com has learned.

Wow! Talk about hitting a home run!

By comparison, Kelly Clarkson’s latest CD, My December, sold 291,000 copies in its first week and then took a nosedive.

Underwood’s radio-friendly disk is expected to “have legs,” as they say in the music industry for albums with longevity.

Congrats!
