| BillBoard 200 Ranking: orange = "Clear As Day", blue = "Stronger" |
Wow, it is Spring Break at our university so I was taking the day away from my computer, but one of my blog followers wanted the
weekly album sales chart, and who was I to refuse a faithful follower? Plus it was a good week for most of all the American Idol contestants (for ones not named Jermaine Jones) and their album sales so why not share? The two biggest sellers of late, Kelly Clarkson and Scotty McCreery saw only small sales drops this week, Kelly selling 16K copies of "Stronger" to reach 650K total (#16 on the BillBoard 200) and Scotty with another another 9K in sales of "Clear As Day" to reach 967K (#39). Note that both of them improved their BillBoard ranking quite significantly from last week as other albums on the charts did not hold up as strongly. But the big gainer this week after her American Idol performance was Lauren Alaina, who saw her "Wildflower" sales surge 34%, selling 4,000 copies to put her total sales at 258K and placing her #116 on the chart.
