So I can totally see why. And the Opry thing probably had a big effect too.

She very likely will end up the top selling idol of all time, so yeah. Jordin will never reach either of Carrie's album so I could give two shits if she beat her by a few thousand each week.

Other mad, mad business in this coming Top 200 include Clay Aiken's On My Way Here, which bows at #4. The Claymates predictably snatched up the former Idol's latest, placing Aiken just 100 fewer copies behind Madonna's Hard Candy at #3 (94,000). (Um, how does Madge feel coming in just behind Clay in only her second week on the chart…?) Something isn't quite right in these reports. The one above is from MTV and it says Madonna came in behind Clay Aiken but that Clay was behind Madonna by 100 CDs. Huh? Yahoo reports a much higher number. What gives? The season two runner-up sold 106,000 copies of On My Way Here at No. 4. While he's released two cover albums and an EP in recent years, On My Way Here is Aiken's first album of originals since 2003's Measure of a Man, which set the mark for best sales week by an Idol alum with 613,000 debut copies.Sandwiched between Diamond and Aiken, Keith's double-disc 35 Biggest Hits roped in the No. 2 spot, selling 103,000 copies, while Madonna, who topped last week's chart with Hard Candy, sold another 94,000 copies at No. 3.

"American Idol" star Clay Aiken debuts at No. 4 with "On My Way Here" (RCA), with a slightly less total than "Hard Candy."

No. 190 in chart debuts As, I'm sure, virtually every Clay fan knows already, Clay's new album, On My Way Here, makes its debut on the Billboard album chart at No. 4, selling 94,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. In a somewhat healthier sales climate, his last album, the covers package A Thousand Different Ways, sold 211,000 its first week in late 2006, entering the chart at No. 2. Even with that head start, it's only a little above half a million now; with a smaller beginning, Way will need some added stimulus (hit single would be helpful) to match that total. Idol sales in general were up, a phenomenon perhaps somewhat attributable to Mother's Day being part of the sales week and Idol albums being regarded, in some circles, as ideal gift items. (If you have a better theory, I'm open to it.) Jordin surrenders her top Idol perch to Clay, but climbs 23-18 with a 23% sales increase to 24,000, for a total of 741,000. Carrie's Carnival Ride jumps 39-25 thanks to a 49% increase in sales, up to 22,000, for a total of 2.08 million. Some Hearts is also up, moving 75-60 on the chart and boosting its sales 30% to 12,000 for a total of 6.41 million. Daughtry moves 29-27 with a 19% sales uptick to 21,000, with a total of 4.04 million. Phil experiences the usual sizable second-week drop, falling 43-118 and sliding 49% in sales to the mid-6,000s, for a total of 20,000. And Chris Sligh's Running Back to You emerges at 190 in its first week, selling 4,000 copies. It is the top Christian-music debut for the week. Off-chart Idols follow. Josh is the top-selling non-charting Idol, improving to 3,400 from 3,000 for a total of 41,000. He missed the top 200 chart by about 400 copies. Bo's performance on last week's Idol paid off with a 282% increase from approximately 800 to around 3,000 this week, boosting his total to 52,000. Kellie also sold 3,000, up from 2,500, to hit 756,000 in total. Kelly's Breakaway sold 2,400, up from 2,000, for a total of 5.99 million. My December was also up, selling 1,000, compared to 800, for a total of 765,000. Blake sold 1,600, up from 1,000, total 293,000. Bucky sold around 1,600, up from 1,300, total 342,000. Elliott sold 1,000, up from 900, total 508,000. Mandisa sold 700, up from 500, total 79,000. Randy sold 700, down from 800, total 29,000. Clay's Thousand sold 400, up from 300, total 526,000. Fantasia sold 300, down from 400, total 513,000. Katharine sold 200, same as last week, total 371,000. Kimberley sold 200, same as last week, total 21,000. Taylor, Ruben and Constantine remained at 100; Taylor's total is 702,000, Ruben's 237,000, Constantine's 25,000.

Neither Carrie nor Jordin will sell like Some Hearts did.... I wouldn't hold Jordin up to the standard of Some Hearts if I were you cuz then you have to hold Carrie up to it too and she's falling far short in comparison. Jordin could very well end up selling close to CR numbers if she continues to get radio hits and the right opportunities. Nice increase for Bo!! that's awesome!

Anyway, here's the rundown: Jordin drops out of the top 5 with No Air, which drops 5-7, selling 93,000, an 11% drop, for a total of 1.69 million. Tattoo falls 60-73, selling 16,000, down 13%, for a total of 1.61 million. Carrie's top tune this week is Last Name, up 91-69 after selling 18,000, up 36%, for a total of 95,000. All-American Girl slips 69-72, selling in the mid-16,000s, down 5%, for a total of 504,000. Before He Cheats drops 119-128, selling in the mid-9,000s, gaining exactly three downloads from the previous week. Total is 2.32 million. Daughtry's Feels Like Tonight slides 59-80, selling in the mid-15,000s, a 19% drop, for a total of 400,000. Home moves 156-166, selling 8,000, down 2%, for a total of 1.47 million. > Idol FX: Maroon 5 got a nice boost from its performance of If I Never See Your Face Again -- the song debuts at No. 21 with 43,000 downloads. David Cook's mini-version of The Who's Baba O'Riley got enough people interested in the original to propel it to No. 66 with 18,000 sold. Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline stays on the chart, dropping 48-86 and selling 15,000, down 35% from its primary Archuleta halo effect week. And Iz's Over the Rainbow lingers, dropping 81-94, selling 14,000, down 10%. By special request: Carrie's Don't Forget to Remember Me sold 1,000 for a total of 290,000. Ace's Addicted sold 300 for a total of 3,500. Posted

Seriously. I won't go further into you being a miserable bitch just because the thread doesn't need to get locked. Yes, She is the TOP IDOL in the freaking USA. It's where she's from, where she won the show, and where music cds seem to be more mainstream. Carrie has a better record at home, Kelly has a better away record, I could really give two shits.
