The avid fans are the ones who can get overexposed as they go looking for everything available on the performer. The casual fan only see bits and pieces.

You can never be overexposed to good music. Look at Chesney, Rascal Flats, and all the other big names. They have songs on the charts constantly and it has been that way for years.

When you are not exposed, you run the risk of people saying that you are fading and losing appeal. That is worse than being overexposed.

About the only exposure that Carrie is getting right now is her concerts, award shows, and magazine covers. Concerts amount to little exposure as the audience is small and is mostly her avid fans. Concerts are her biggest focus right now. All the stars are at all the award shows and the best always perform. It's expected. When the time comes that she does not perform, then start worrying.

As far as I'm concerned, Carrie's promotion team should go for all the exposure they can get.

My only suggestion would be to swap some of the time spent on magazine covers into time spent singing in front of large groups of people, not just concerts.
you are not wrong, but not everyone will agree that carrie is 'good music'. i don't think any one artist can be universally agreed to be 'good music'. right now, yes i agree she isn't overexposed, but for a while, especially when SH was initially released, she was dangerously close to that.

it takes much more than 'good' music to be safe from overexposure. the songs that are immune to that are the once-in-a-generation kind of songs which don't come along too often. i used to like RF and Kenny, but it seems to me the quality of their music has kinda dipped over the past couple of albums, and now i do think they are overexposed. jmo
