Now that it is 2012 and the holiday shopping season is over, all the American Idol alumni saw a large scale slowdown in their album sales. Even the top selling "Clear As Day" saw its lowest sales week to date, moving only 22K units to bring Scotty McCreery's total sales tally to 856K. It even dropped to #3 on the Country chart as Jason Aldean sold a few more copies of "My Kinda Party" then "Clear As Day" to push Scotty out of the Top 2 where he has lived for the past 3 months. On the overall BillBoard chart the album fell to #21, its first time out of the Top 15. However, with American Idol Season 11 about to start up (as well as the Brad Paisley tour), I could see "Clear As Day" sales popping back up the charts, especially in the slow sales winter period for all the other artists.
