Carrie Underwood
The Academy of Country Music revealed its nominees for album of the year on Thursday morning (March 5) in Nashville. The nominees
include
Jamey Johnson's
That Lonesome Song,
Montgomery
Gentry's
Back When I Knew It All,
George Strait's
Troubadour,
Taylor Swift's
Fearless and
Carrie
Underwood's
Carnival Ride. Although the rest of the nominees were announced on Feb. 11, the album nominations were
delayed due to a revision in the qualifications. Previously, albums had to sell 300,000 copies to be considered, but that
is no longer the case. The ACM Awards will be held in Las Vegas on April 5.
