Country sensation Carrie Underwood has revealed that she will be releasing a special compilation album to celebrate the past 10 years of her career. 

She announced the exciting news on NBC's Today earlier this morning (September 26) and confirmed that the record, which is due to be officially released on December 9, is called 'Greatest Hits: Decade #1'. Speaking about the forthcoming offering, she explained:

"I can't believe it's been a decade since I auditioned for 'American Idol'. Looking back at the songs I've released over the years lets me relive my amazing journey. Even better I get to include new music for the fans!"

A new single from the collection, entitled 'Something in the Water', will be released just after this weekend on Monday and she described the track as being a "joyous, uplifting song basically about changing your life for the better and waking up and having that a-ha moment and your life being different from that moment forward."
