Elliott takes a plunge
As I feared, Elliott Yamin's sales took a sizable hit in the album's second week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. He drops from No. 3 to No. 28 on the chart, selling 30,000 -- one-third of his first week's sales. That brings his total to 120,000, but at this pace it will be a fairly long, hard slog to top a quarter million.
Other Idols on the album chart (and a few who have fallen off):
> Daughtry is once again king of the charting Idols, but he drops 4-6, selling 66,000 -- 13% off the previous week's total. Grand total is 2.11 million.
> Carrie falls 15-16, only because there are 10 debuts ahead of her. Her sales were up 4% to 39,000, and her total is 5.16 million.
> Katharine drops 74-93, falling 12% in sales down to 9,900 for a total of 279,000.
> Kellie falls 131-150, selling 6,100, 9% off the previous week, for a total of 484,000. Should still be three weeks to the 500,000 mark, though.
> Fantasia's down 139-152 on the chart, selling 6,000 copies, down just 3%. Total: 336,000
> Off the chart, Taylor sold 2,900, down from 3,400 the previous week. Total: 664,000. Ruben sold 1,300, down from 1,500, for a total of 218,000. Clay sold 700, down from 800, to bring his total to 507,000. And Kelly Clarkson sold 4,300, down a bit from 4,400, for a total of 5.7 million.
Funnily, there was a quite a big rise in Kellie's "Streetpulse" ranking today but probably too late for any effect on this week's sales. It needs to be sustained over a few days to affect the sales positively.
and the airplay is just going up, so, chill.
