Kris was overestimated. He sold 80k and debuted at #11. Eek

With the $3 coupon from Amazon you could buy Adam's album for .99 cents. Of course, you could use that coupon for any album but
still 99 cents is pretty hard to beat. Even if you only liked one song, it was worth buying the album.

Adam's album is one penny cheaper than Taylor Hicks selling in the remainder bin at the Dollar store.

Wow, it's interesting that Daughtry will probably pass Kelly next week. Daughtry's promo has been next to none.

Can't wait to see Black Friday sales! I saw Carrie's album was down to $6.99 at some stores then, and I got excited to buy a few extras. Damn, if the album was $3.99 or $.99, I could buy tons more lol...no wonder with Adam..

The good news is that it is still possible to have an opening week of 600-700K for a Simon Cowell discovered reality TV contestant.

So congratulations to Madame.......Susan Boyle.

swim, apparently there's some Black Friday deal on Amazon or something so Adam's album is worth $0.99. He's projected higher than Rihanna if i'm not wrong (then again, Rihanna has great single sales and her last album had longevity, don't think Adam has that).

I think Kris defo would have way better numbers than this if they actually gave him the promotion he deserves and not toss everything to Lambert.

Wow 9th/10th debut with only 84k is not good. That is by FAR the lowest debut of a winner. Not terrible considering there was zero promotion for it. However, Carrie in her third week sold the same as his debut week. Welcome to the top10 though, probably the first and last time he'll be there.

I thought I remember reading 50 was projected to sell 100k, so who knows.

Also that's only 37% in

Well 4th highest debut is okay... Not that far behind Norah Jones and he actually beat 50cent.

Dunno, but her first one was like 1.3 million (second lowest next to Taylor) but her total in sales was like triple that. Her singles made a killing, the album not so much.

Update so far:

It's not that shocking to me of her sales. She'll always be more popular in the UK.

IMO, this should have been the first single.

I agree that Leona deserves better sales. She's got a great voice but she isn't the next Mariah like Simon tries to make her to be.

I think her album will pick up after X-Mas and when she releases better singles.
