Another week, and more numbers from Brian Mansfield at USA Today (His Idol Chatter column)! Overall album sales were low again last week, but both Lee and Crystal managed to do alright. Crystal sold 7,000 more units of "Farmer's Daughter" (a 24% drop from last week, and a total of 123,000) but still managed to only fall from #47 to #54 on the BillBoard 200 chart. Lee had the MP3 version of his album, "Live It Up", on sale at Amazon.com and his sales actually went up (about 4,000 units) bringing him up the BillBoard chart to #122 (from #147) with total sales of 109,000. That makes two weeks in a row that Lee's BillBoard ranking has gone up. With the new season of American Idol starting tonight that may give them more publicity as well.
