USA today numbers are up and here is my one thought on them. Simon Cowell knows who will sell and who will not. We can't forget his orginal pick for the Final 2 in AI5 were Chris and Kellie and look at those two in comparsion to the winner/runnerup from AI5.
Let's start with the album chart, where Daughtry still leads the pack but nearly falls out of the top 10, sliding from No. 6 to No. 10 as sales drop from 67,000 to 51,000 (about where he was before a one-week sales spike). His total is now 2.53 million, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Carrie's right behind him at 11, down from No. 8. Her sales, which also spiked the previous week, drop 17% to 47,000, and her total's 5.48 million.
Elliott has a great week, jumping from No. 67 to 20 as his sales more than double, from 11,000 to 25,000. Could his Idol appearance singing Wait for You have anything to do with this leap? Answers on a postcard. Total is 217,000.
More info on Idols on the album and digital songs chart follows.
After the three Idols in the top 20, we start to crater a bit.
Bucky drops 44-56 on the chart, skidding 30% in sales to 12,000 for a total of 131,000.
Fantasia continues to climb the chart, 93-91 this week, but her sales level off from 8,600 to 7,900. Total is 380,000.
Kellie picks up a little on the chart, 108-100, but her sales are also down, 9% to 7,100. Total is 533,000.
Katharine takes a big drop, 149-186, as sales fall from 5,500 to 4,200 and a total of 326,000.
Off the chart, Taylor sold 2,000, down from 2,800, for a 679,000 total. Kimberley Locke (remembered this week) sold 1,300 for a three-week total of 8,500. Ruben sold 900, down from 1,000, to hit 226,000 total. Clay sold 500, down from 800, and remains at a rounded 511,000. And Kelly sold 7,100 of her last album, down from 7,800; its total is 5.7 million.
