anything with Cook's album selling between 1.5 mil and 2 mil will put him in the Top 10 selling albums for that year. 2 mil today is the 4 mil of years
back.

sligh blogs about his first week sales
We came in a little under 4,100!
Doesn't sound like a ton, I know, but for the CCM market right now it is pretty great! We sold a ton on iTunes, too, which, again, for the Christian
market is a great thing.
Just so there's no freaking out...in the Christian market, people find out about the album with the single going up the charts. The higher the single,
the higher the number of plays, the higher the number of impressions, the higher the sales. So, for having a #18 single, it is pretty freaking great!
CCM has no centralized media...sure, there are websites that do great, but nothing like tv and mainstream radio marketing can do. Usually, people find CDs
as they wander through the Christian book store OR (as I mentioned above) hear a song on Christian radio, find out who it is and buy it.
This is going to be a slow build and I'm glad...no Idol has ever come off and really done a grassroots thing: get in a van, travel the country, play,
play, play, play and connect. That is what I'm gonna do. My label is pumped (it's their highest debut ever!) and distribution is pumped! Now, the
more shows I play the more you'll see sales trickle in. Hopefully Empty Me can reach top 5 on the charts and then you'll see more sales than even
this week. It's seriously all about the songs!
Thanks to everyone so far who bought the album! Now, tell a friend and let's sell some records!

Good luck to Chris Sligh, but 4k just doesn't sound very promising to me.

That list is missing a lot of people who should be there. I thought it was just winners/runners up but I see Daughtry. |

Each year the Idol franchise gets weaker. Every idol release sells less than the previous one. (with one or two obvious exceptions). Clay suffers from not
getting radio play and gaining many new fans. I think his last album went gold and I bet this one does about half that. Plus the whole music biz is in
turmoil. Jordin had a opening week that was less than half of what Hicks had.
This year's winner will be lucky to match Jordin's opening sales and both David's have bigger fan bases than she did. That's why they MUST have a winner whose music will be played on the radio from day 1. |
