Paint by Numbers
It's been a few weeks since I've updated the Idol franchise CD sales numbers. Since today, both Taylor Hicks and Fantasia hit the billboard charts with their albums, it's a good time to revisit how people are doing.

EE,
Blogroll is not working for me, so there's no indication of which blogs have updated. I just took a stroll through the list and am so glad I did.
Your entry is a great source for sales, past and present. No "Idol" has been close to Clay's first week sales for MOAM. We can only hope for future changes that will work in his favor.
Have a wonderful Christmas Week!

Actually, Justin's debut number was 58,279 (#20 on the chart that week) ... putting him at the lead of the non-pimped AI'ers, ahead of Josh Gracin and Kimberley Locke.
Ms. Pickler benefited by the decision last year by the ptb to allow any Idol to market and promote their first single/album as they please. Justin was not afforded that benefit, and indeed never officially had a single released to radio, nor any video, and had to wait 9 months after the show (and 3 months after the Season One winner) to release his album.
Just helping you get the numbers straight! :)
