I just did a Google search on Bo's number, so I dont know where I pulled them from. As I dont follow anything that human being has done, I'll take your words that the number is higher.

Yes, Katharine has become so red hot, she didn't sell records this week and went under her own record label's predictions of 115K sales. Wow, look at that hotness dripped in mediocre sales. Maybe she can mug at D-list events like she has to keep in the public eye but she isn't one who is going to sale a lot of records. It's a good thing that the record buying public speaks louder than bitter and delusional fanatics.

Kat will be the first Idol contestant to do Playboy.
#50 had almost 18 K in sales, so I think Kellie and Taylor could've had 15K weeks. Bo's first week was 229 K |

Kat's selling great....Jan is the slowest month in sales and her cd is only the 3rd this year to sale over 100,000.....

114k for the runner-up of American Idol is hardly great. Even Taylor, whose sales have been underwhelming, sold 300k his first week.

She'll be dumped by the label by this time next year. Doubt she'll reach gold.

Quote: Taylor, Chris, and most other Idols had the benefit of the holiday season to boost their CD sales; I highly doubt they would have sold as much if they were released in January. Katharine's CD was released in a month that is known for being worse for sales, so I think her first week sales are good if not excellent. I think she could go platinum since her album is full of potential singles. |

The drop off percentage in week 2 of sales is a good indicator of long term success/failure. A lot fewer people go into music stores/shop online in the two months after Christmas than in the two months before.
The week Dreamgirls hit #1 it recorded the lowest weekly sales for a #1 CD since Soundscan started charting sales in the early '90s and that happened in January. |

Quote: Well, Norah Jones seemed to do pretty well with 400+ Remember, soundscan numbers are only retail counter sales....they don't account for ALL sales, including wholesale or club. That's why RIAA doesn't use them for certification purposes. |

Norah's previous CD sold a million in its first week though.

Yes, she suffered from eating disorders in the past, but she is at a VERY healthy physique now and there is nothing boney about her. ![]() Very voluptuous and beautiful. You can get over your jealousy now. Quote:'Tasia has another cd out? I thought she'd back to giving handjobs on the roadside by now? |

I caught her performance on Rachel Ray the other day... I didn't think much of the song (at all), but her voice sounded pretty darn good.

Quote: Well considering his album hasn't had a single and has fallen off the face of the earth, a single won't save his album. Chris hasn't had a significant airplay either. Not even top 20, so it's not like Chris had this huge advantage that makes up for the difference between sales. Quote: Picker never did have a HUGE week of sales. However she always managed to stay solid and got some nice sales from the Christmas season. After next week sales Kat is going to be drowned out by all the sales boost from the grammy artists. |

Re: American Idol Sales Report 2007 | ||
Quote:I I've heard many people say they didn't realize his album was out, so I don't know how you can say it won't effect sales. And Chris is on the radio constantly here in New England. He has received a ton of radioplay, so I don't know what you are talking about there either. And he has a video, so there is a lot of exposure for those who may not have known him from AI, or who were more passive fans who may not have known his album was out until they heard the song on the radio or saw the video. |

Re: American Idol Sales Report 2007 | ||

You are making it sound like he's getting the "Premiscious" & "irreplaceable" airplay, when it isn't even as close. Is he getting decent airplay? yes. However, none that is like top 10 or anything.
Also, him waiting for a single to be released for so long, will affect his sales no matter how good or bad it does. His album isn't exactly on the front shelves of stores like it use to be 2 months back. |
