Not intentional.
More like "ingrained" |

Well, I'd say the same about the tepid straight-man stylings of Cook as well.
Perhaps I should be surprised my douchery doesn't allow me to "get" his douchery. You'd think a couple of douches would go to the same meetings, know the secret handshake, and do the whole road-trip buddy sequence. At least we do both like to do puzzles. We could have a puzzle party! "6-Letter Word, starting with 'D': Feminine hygiene product." |

I am so glad that David Cook is not selling as well as TPTB would have liked. I am not, was not, and never will be a fan of his. There is something about him
that just rubs me the wrong way. I don't see him as distinct, but in the same oeuvre as hundreds of thousands of like-minded men the world over:
pretentious guitar-wielding douchebags whose music sounds similar to each other. I hate virtually everything about Series 07 of Idol, including him. I
don't even like David Archuleta. I just hope that this upcoming series is so much better, and that we have a winner who will sell records and not be a
colossal douchebag.

Agreed. His album is generic shit. Not a single or unique hit on there. Awful.

Still, I've heard more from it (3 songs) than Taylor's winning album (1 song). So he's a little better than worst-winner-ever Taylor.

What are the numbers for Cook's album sales and has Archuleta done better? Also, how do Jordin's sales compare?
I'm actually a little surprised that Cook's album is supposedly not selling all that well. I'm glad because I think he sucks, but I really thought I'd have to endure the torture every time I got in my car. Thankfully not. |

Hi PuPa!! Happy New Year. <3
As of last week: Albums 16 David Cook "David Cook" 30,595 (-70%; lw 100,745 ) Total: 842,262 (10) 51 David Archuleta "David Archuleta 14,157 (-75%; lw 56,368) Total: 580,210 (33) I think both of them have decent sales for a winner and runner up. I don't know Jordin's exact numbers, but I think he may surpass her. Or not. Who knows. Also, I'm sorry the button on your radio is broken so that you wouldn't be able to turn the channel if a song you didn't like came on.

Jordin is around 975,000 (I think by now). Not sure. I'm sure some smartie will say, actually it's 967,446 albums but whatever, its around that area.
David will pass that for sure.
But 1 million in total is still great. I never understand the poo pooing of albums that only go platinum. I think that's quite the feat, especially since last years top selling album didn't crack 3 mil. People are not buying like they used to. A million sold is great plus all the downloaded single sales which go into the millions (like Jordin who's done exceptionally well single wise). |

Around this time last year Jordin was struggling to sell 300,000 but he sells nearly 850,000 in the same timeframe, when CD sales are even lower in general
from last year and hes not selling well. Gotcha
 Of course
nothing was said the 5 weeks when he remained in the Top 10.
ETA: Just checked and Jordin's total now is 985,000.

I would consider Jordin more successful than Mantasia and Ruben, but whatevs. David's album has been out for under two months? It would be a miracle if he
was doing better than Fantasia and Ruben, who have 4-5 years under their belt.

I think with Idol if you win and don't become a monster like Carrie or Daughtry right away, they consider you sort of a flop. It's a little too early
to count Cook out. His next singles could do better. LO was a shitty first single though.

Well fuck me I wonder if that's because record sales have been declining. I don't think they should lump Cook and Jordin in with Taylor either.

I know nothing about record sales, but if I were David Cook, I wouldn't be disappointed with 842,000 especially with the way things are going.
I wouldn't call Jordin a flop either. Yeah she didn't sell as much as Carrie or Kelly, but she has had a lot of radio success which is something idol needed after the disaster of Taylor Hicks. Now with all that said, I'm more surprised by David Archuleta's record sales. :O I would have thought his fanbase was the type that spent their life savings buying multiple copies of his album. I've definitely heard his single on the radio like 37 times more than David Cook's, too. |

In fairness, Archie's single has done wayyyy better than Cook's single. They play his song a lot more than Cook. It didn't necessarily translate
into CD sales, but like Jordin, his singles may do better overall than the CD.
