Carrie Underwood's recording of The Pretenders' classic, "I'll Stand by You," became the first iTunes exclusive track to debut in the Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

"I'll Stand by You" was recorded by Underwood to accompany footage of her two-day trip to Africa this past April for American Idol's "Idol Gives Back" charity special.

American Idol Creator, Simon Fuller, said, "This is a big moment. The potency of Carrie's performance on 'Idol Gives Back'...was so strong that it's set a new milestone for iTunes and is attracting people to music downloads for the first time.

More than that, she is pulling in music fans from all over the world. Carrie is a phenomenal talent, a truly gifted singer, and a generous and kind-hearted spirit, so I am delighted to see the success of what her talent is making possible to benefit children in need."

I'll Stand by You Lyrics

Oh, why you look so sad?
Tears are in your eyes
Come on and talk to me now.
Don't be ashamed to cry,
let me see you through
Cause I've seen the dark side too.

When the night falls on you,
you don't know what to do,
Nothing you confess
can make me love you less

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you,
I won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.

So, if you're mad get mad,
don't hold it all inside,
Come on and talk to me now.
Hey, what you got to hide?
I get angry too
Well I'm alot like you.

When you're standing at the crossroads,
don't know which path to choose,
Let me come along,
cause even if your wrong

I'll stand by you, I'll stand by you,
I won't let nobody hurt you,
I'll stand by you.
Take me in into your darkest hour,
and I'll never desert you.
I'll stand by you.

And when, when the night falls on you baby,
you're feeling all alone,
You won't be on your own,

I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you,
I won't let nobody hurt you.
I'll stand by you
Take me in into your darkest hour
and I'll never desert you
I'll stand by you.

Ooooh, I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you.
