Carrie Underwood Fans Celebrate 20th Anniversary of Major Milestone for 'the Song That Started It All' originally appeared on Parade.

Carrie Underwood's first No. 1 single debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 20 years ago—making her one of the few country artists to debut at the top—and fans are not letting the anniversary of the major accomplishment go unnoticed.

"20 years ago today, @carrieunderwood's 'Inside Your Heaven' debuted at #1 on the Hot 100," X (formerly Twitter) account @chartdata posted. The coronation track was released in 2005 as part of the country singer's Some Hearts album, shortly after her American Idol win.

Fans quickly marked the occasion, celebrating the country songstress and her body of work on social media. "The song that started it all went number 1 today !" one posted via X (formerly Twitter). "Everyone go show this one some love with some streams today !"

"Iconic song," one stated in the comment thread, while another mentioned even more of her career accolades: "And 20 years later she’s still selling out arenas with a 72 show Vegas residency in between tours with the most chart-toppers among female country artists of the 21st century."

At an official fan‑club party on June 3 at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, attendees were moved as the songstress performed “Inside Your Heaven” again—so powerful it almost brought her to tears.

Additionally, to commemorate Some Hearts' 20th anniversary, the nine-time Platinum album that launched hits like “Jesus, Take the Wheel,” “Before He Cheats,” and “Wasted,” a special edition double‑vinyl version was unveiled—complete with new cover art, an exclusive booklet, and four live tracks recorded at Blackbird Studios in Oct. 2005 (including "Inside Your Heaven" live). The project is set to be available exclusively at Target, with a release slated for Nov. 14, 2025.
