This week's Country Shootout theme is female country singers. We will have female country singers who are still touring and are still making music go head to head. Keep in mind we can't do all the female country artist in one week. Today's Country Shootout is Carrie Underwood vs. Martina McBride.

Carrie Underwood recently won a Grammy for Country Solo Performance with 'Blown Away', and is now a recipient of 6 Grammy Awards. .Carrie rose to fame after the 2005 season of American Idol. She became a member of the Grand Ole Opry in 2008, and became a member of the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame in 2009. Worldwide, Underwood has sold over 27 million singles and more than 15 million albums.

Here is Carrie Underwood's hit single "Good Girl."

Martina McBride has been called the "Celine Dion" of Country music. McBride has numerous number one hits. From 1995 to 2001 McBride had five #1 hits at the top of the Country Billboard Charts. McBride has recorded a total of eleven studio albums, one greatest hits compilation, one "live" album, a Christmas compilation, as well as two additional compilation albums. Seven of Martina McBride's albums have been certified Gold if not better.

Here is Martina McBride's hit single "This One's For the Girls."

Since this weeks theme is Female Country Artist I thought it was a great way to honor all females by playing "Good Girl" and "This One's For the Girls."
