OMEDETO, CATHY!!

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.

It says Adam could sell like 225k. I'm sure it would be like half of that if it weren't for his desperate performance. Although it's tough to say because Black Friday hasn't happened yet so we don't know yet if people will buy. Also, the CD has been lowered to $3.99. The last time I bought an album it was about $10 to $12. That's bullshit and they are basically cheating their way to a high debut. Still though, there is no way in hell he catches Susan Boyle, she's dominating. She's probably going to have the biggest debut of the year by selling over 600k. DOMINATION!

Still though, have fun trying to get radio play Adam. At least Kris is getting some.

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.

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.

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..

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.

ITS bullshit that Kris Allen's album was hardly promoted and even more BS that Adam will sell more because his CD's are fucking 3 DOLLARS???? Let a ADAM TARD SAY SOMETHING!!!! I doubt his numbers would be that high if it weren't for 3 dollar CD'S.

Agreed. 3 dollars for an album is absolutely ridiculous. can you say sales manipulation?

But remember last year, Archie debuted @ 2 with 100k sales less than David Cook who debuted at 3 the next week behind Beyonce and Nickelback. Beyonce and Nickelback have two of the top selling albums of this year and last year, and David Cook has now scanned about 500k more than Archie lol. It's about longevity, something I am sure that Kris will have more than Adam.

Kris fans are the type to wait, and Adam fans rush out to get his music right away. and they may as well buy 10 copies since it's $3... I expect him to have huge drops..

X.

if kris was promoted as much as Adam, I'm sure his album sales would've been waaaaaaaaay better. Aren't Adam's albums going for sales for like a dollar on Amazon? of course his fans can buy way more.

still loses to Susan Boyle lol. and I don't think she got as much promotion as him (hardly any promotion right?)

$3 and $5 CDs on amazon are quite common. Rihanna's CD is currently listed at $3.99. Acting as if this is something specifically done for or by Adam's people seems like a lame attempt to dismiss his sales.

Why put an Idol album on sale the first week? The fantards are happy to pay any price. But I'm sure the fantards are buying it also. Who wouldn't spent $1 to get their guy better numbers.

It won't matter. Susan Boyle (not on sale at Amazon) will kick everyone's ass this week.

Amazon chose CD's for that sale based on who was selling the most in presales. They are trying to compete with iTunes for digital downloads. No conspiracy to boost Adam's sales. Just a big sale to promote Amazon. If Kris had more presales he would have been on sale too.

Susan Boyle had the biggest pre sales in Amazon history. So based on presales, they should have had her album on sale for $1.

I'm not saying there's a conspiracy. It'll just help boost his sales for the week.
