This Week sales

Young_br · 11-21-2007, 02:35 PM

"Finally, Kellie rolled back onto the chart last week (also thanks to the CMAs) and stays on for another week, albeit at 185 instead of last week's 146. Sales were down 11% to 5,000, bringing her total to 654,000."

I think sells would be a little better if people could find them at the store. You can't buy whats not there. Just my opinion. Where do you find those numbers Augusto?

Now that the amazing CMA performance is behind us, I was expecting a drop. So, I think the fact that this was a small drop is a good sign.

It's hard to top Kellie's CMA performance for sheer impact.

I think there are many successful artists that go an entire career without ever coming close to performing at that level of excellence or reaching that depth of emotion on a national stage.

I was honestly expecting way more of a drop, I am glad it wasn't that much. It probably is an indication that this album will stablize on the charts for awhile.

She is now 43k behind Taylor Hicks, 36; behind Bo Bice, 38k behind Josh Gracin. So close people, sooo close!

I agree Jim, but nonetheless these sales are good. Not a big drop at all.

Yeah I think sales would be a lot better if Kellie received the same store inventory and promotions Taylor Swift and others received all year. I guesstimate they would still be around 20,000 to 50,000 a week and 10,000 a week would be the minimum. Kellie's CD never should have left the Billboard top 25 country albums or Billboard 200. If shoppers aren't seeing it in very crowded Walmart stores this and next month, that's terrible. I just checked Best Buy and 3 of their 6 area stores are out of stock and the price is $14.99.

The thing is, Kellie's back on the public eye, with these appearances on the CMA's, Are You Smarter...and AMA's.

I'm REALLY glad she sold almost the same. I just want that 700k mark, because then she'll be the second biggest selling of the fifth season of AI, plus she'll pass Taylor Hicks, Bo Bice and Josh Gracin, winding up as the 7th biggest selling Idol contestant ever.

Also, don't forget that there's Regis & Kelly coming up! So hopefully that'll help her to sell a bit more. Oh, and Black Friday and Christmas! Maybe we'll get those 46k in these last six weeks.

And then, after that, in January, I just want a new album. I think it's horrible that we have to struggle every week with these numbers. She's got way more recognition and fame now, so I believe Kellie's first week of the second album will sell a LOT more than the 79k she sold on the first week of STG.

I just came from my local Wal-Mart (near New Orleans). I hunted around and found two STGs -- and moved them to the front.

As I predicted the sales were around 5k.... I'm a little dissappointed in the fact that she should be up there with Taylor Swift in sales per week and would be if her album was better stocked. I'm so fed up with this....
Well anyways I'm glad she is still in the top 200. I hope next week sees a couple k increase. I'm going to stay optimistic haha.

It's extremely possible. She'd have to be at around 7.5k a week. Wouldn't be terribly out of the question for her to go higher than that on this week (blackfriday) and Christmas week.

nobelson · 11-22-2007, 01:25 AM

And oh well, even if it doesn't come by Christmas, it'll come by February. So yeah, 700k, here we go.

I just hope Jordin and Blake won't pass her :X
