Now that we are down to the Top 8 in the season, the former American Idols continue to have
solid sales from week to week. This weeks big gainer was Casey Abrams, but his
debut album has still only sold a total of 27,000 (after this weeks sales of 3K) which pales in comparison to just about any other Idol still selling albums. The sales leader this week is again Phillip Phillips, whose "
World From The Side of the Moon" remains among the Top 20 best selling albums in the country at #17 with sales of 21K and approaching total sales near 800K (792K to be exact.) This is actually one position better than his #18 last week. The super selling duo of Kelly Clarkson and Carrie Underwood continue to stay close together on the charts as well, with Kelly at #41 with her
greatest hits collection (10K for a total of 340K) and Carrie's "
Blown Away" at #44 (9K with 1.366M in total sales.) The only other Idol in the BillBoard 200 is Colton Dixon with his "
A Messenger" album improving a notch at #119 with sales of 4K to push his total to 61K. Colton will be performing tonight on the results show so he should have another big boost in sales for next week.
The only other albums on the Idol Chatter list are older albums by Carrie ("Play On", "Some Hearts") and Kelly ("Stronger") and two country albums that keep on selling, Season 10's Scotty McCreery's "
Clear as Day" (1K more at 1.163M total) and Season 9's
Casey James' debut (1K for a total of 74K.)
Speaking of Season 9, runner-up
Crystal Bowersox's "
All That for This" was
released this week so we can see what kind of sales numbers she has next week. I do not expect super numbers from this release, but hopefully it will be enough to help her pay her bills until she starts her
starring role as Patsy Cline on Broadway.
