Jorbacca could definitely hit 1 million. She's still got some good singles left on her album, which could boost her sales. She also will probably perform
on finale night. I'm guessing Carnival Ride is going to launch back to the 30,000s when Last Name starts charting highly soon.

The music buisness is in free fall. Way down from three years ago when SH was released. That said, every 2nd album released by an Idol does 1/2 as well as the
previous one with one obvious exception. The more albums they release, the worse they do and that includes Kelly.
Jordin is a pleasant surprise who hopefully will go platinum if she has more hit singles on the album. Blake is a huge disappointment and seems forgotten by his fans who've moved on to this year's crew. |

I'm impressed with Jordin moving up to number 3 this week on the Hot 100. Doesn't that make her the Idol with the highest charting single from their
debut album?

Blake is a huge disappointment and seems forgotten by his fans who've moved on to this year's crew. Well, he's pretty forgettable. I liked him OK during the season but haven't really thought of him since. |

Interesting to see how Clay's new album is going to do. Is it going to do as well as his first album? Or have people forgotten him since it's really
only his 2nd original album since Idol.

^^ Yes, very interesting indeed! : )) Somehow, I think this Spamalot stint reminded a lot of people of him if they had forgotten. There
were busloads of schoolkids that showed up to see it while he was there, many from out of state. So, hopefully the album will do well. The song snippets sure
sound promising, to me anyway.

sucked too much since they both went #1 unless of course you're alluding to the fact that it doesn't matter what Carrie releases it would still go #1
because she's the IT girl in music right now which if that's the case her sales should be better shouldn't they? Fuck Carnival Ride was even
released during Holiday shopping season and opending with over 500K in sales.... CD sales are down no question about it but coming off a huge debut and with
all the promo I guess I expected her to be well over 3 million in sales by now...

ILovegreeneyes wrote: It looks like the magazine covers and the rest are helping to sell her first CD as well as her second. In total Carrie sold 27K units last week of the two CDs combined. It's not too shabby to have 2 titles in the Top 100 albums. Plus she had 68K downloads of the songs that made the sales chart as reported above. In all that is probably in the neighbourhood of $300,000 in music sales just last week for Carrie's stuff. Carnival Ride might not be performing to your expectations but I'm sure the record company isn't completely disappointed in her weekly sales overall.

awww grumpy did your google alert go off so you could respond directly to me ?
I didn't say the label would be disappointed....although considering how much they've probably spent on the promo they might be a tad miffed.. but considering how weak sales are overall I'm sure they aren't crying about it.....but I forgot it's Queen Carrie nowadays and no one had better dare speak ill of her highness ...

You must be in a bad mood ILGE. You're all over this place bashing Carrie. You must be feeling extra threatened by her success these days...
Poor Carrie has only sold 27,000 copies this week and I'm just sick about it...lmao..GMAFB.
Wasn't Kelly promoted like crazy when MD came out? I think it's funny that the Kelbots say she wasn't over and over when she actually was. |

I also agree that My December was a total fucking flop. No singles, no air-play, record company publically criticizes it= fucking flop.
The Farmbot's sales aren't underwhelming to me at all. But it does make me laugh that Jordin is selling more per week than the Farmbot is. P.S. My response isn't fanwar shit. I could give a fuck. It's pretty shitty that Yelly is already in 3 digits.

fannypackwearer wrote: I expressed my opinion regarding Carrie's sales... this is the sales thread..many people comment on the weekly sales of Jordin and Daughtry or whoever... if the carriestans would just allow me to have my opinion it wouldn't be an issue... and I never said Carnival Ride was flopping... I said based on the output of promotional dollars that have been spent her sales are a lil underwhelming... get the fuck over it...FUCK
As for whatever promo My December got.... if that's your idea of good promotion Fanny...I hope Carrie gets the same kind with her third CD
I'm not sure why anyone would be surprised that Kelly is in the triple digits... it took her 10 months of no radio play and no promo to get there.... is it still pathetic? maybe considering how good her last CD sold... but it's not shocking by any stretch... I figured she'd be there months ago... |

Wait, wait, wait. You are allowed to have an opinion on Carnival Ride, but if we think My December is selling poorly, you immediately jump on us. Makes sense!
I wonder how performing on American Idol will affect Leona's sales. Definitely @ #1. Bleeding Love is easily going to go double-platinum IMO. |

who the fuck jumped on you? bringing up MD as a way of deflecting my opinion of CR is what I think is pathetic. But it's typical so oh well...
in perspective when your last album sells 6.3 million and your next album is struggling to sell over 2 million that album is underperforming... when your last album sells 5.9 million and your next sells 762K that album is a flop... see something we can all agree on
