We all knew it would eventually happen, but after 35 consecutive weeks in the BillBoard Top 100, Scotty McCreery's debut album has dropped to #105 (dark green line in my chart, with 5K in sales for 1.068M total). That was a pretty incredible run for Scotty's debut album. Luckily, there are still
4 Idols in the Top 100, the 1st and 4st winners, the runner up from two seasons ago, and #3 from Scotty's own season. Continuing to lead all Idols is Carrie Underwood's "Blown Away" which moves to #9 overall and #2 Country after 5 weeks at #1 on that chart (dark red line.) She sold 27K more to put her total to 545K in 6 short weeks. Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger" remains in the Top 50 with an additional 8K in sales (823K total - light blue) Close to Kelly's sales is Adam Lambert's "Trespassing" at #54 with 8K in sales (119K total, light green line) which still keeps his sales pace very similar to Lauren's first 4 weeks. The last Idol album in the Top 100 is Haley Reinhart's "Listen Up!" which sold 5K units to end up at #96 (33K total) in her third week (orange line). Phillip Phillips' compilation album ended up at #147 this week with 4K in sales, and he has sold 40K in total sales of that album.
On
download sales, Carrie also rules that chart with "Good Girl" breaking the million downloads mark, while Kelly Clarkson's smash hit "Stronger" pushes farther past 3 million. Also notable on that list is Phillip Phillips' "Home" which sold another 38K downloads to reach 419K in total sales. Following Scotty's "I Love You This Big" which went gold last year, we could have two winners in a row that reach the gold single level again.
