It’s been a good week for American Idol album sales, as reported by USA Today.
They were up 10%, while most Idols enjoyed increased figures. Once again no Idols made the Billboard top 10, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Daughtry led the pack at No. 13, down from No. 12. But he sold 56,000, up 4%, for a total of 2.78 million, American Idol UNofficial fan site says.
Similarly, Carrie Underwood dropped 16-22 on the chart but registered a 2% sales increase, to 41,000, to bring her total to 5.66 million.
Fantasia Barrino is the only charting Idol to drop in sales: She’s off 7% to 7,100 and falls 97-116 on the chart. Her sales total is 413,000, making it likely that she’ll eventually hit gold, though.
Kellie Pickler climbs 128-122 on the chart, with a 12% gain to 6,700 and a total of 559,000. She could end up outselling Taylor Hicks and wind up as the season’s No. 2 seller.
Mandisa has the No. 1 single in the country with Only the World; it sold 1,900 copies, down from 2,000.
