According to Rickey, who has been keeping track of the Season 7 Idols on the iTunes charts, David Cook’s “Always Be My Baby”, as of 4/20, has been #1 on the iTunes Top 100 4 days in a row.
Also, I posted the Billboard charts on Friday. The chart has its own header tab, check above, or use this handy link. As you can see, the Idol Gives Back performances did very well on the charts this week.
Daughtry’s “What About Now” debuted on the Hot 100 at #18. It helped move his album, Daughtry, from #36 to #15 on the Billboard 200 this week. Jordin Sparks, Jordin Sparks moves to the #17 spot on the Billboard 200, no doubt helped by her appearance with Chris Brown on the Idol Gives Back week results show. “No Air” climbs to #3 on the Hot 100. Not too shabby!
Other Idol IGB performances on the Hot 100 this week: Carrie Underwood, “Praying for Time”, #27, Top 8, “Shout to the Lord”, Annie Lennox, “Many Rivers to Cross”. And, The Top 8, “Don’t Stop the Music” is #23 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles Chart.
“Over the Rainbow” by Brother Iz debuts on the Hot Digital Tracks chart at #20 and re-enters the Hot Digital Songs chart at #11. Check out the chart to see how the IGB singles did on The Hot Digital Tracks and Hot Digital Songs chart. Also, check out the chart for Kirsten’s complete Idol sales report for last week.

Actually, you can’t buy the album at all now. Amazon just pulled the entire album. Wow. I wonder if the show will explain it this week.
What is up with the media and David Cook? The kid can’t catch a breather. Geez. I don’t remember it ever being this bad for anyone else before. Between him and Archuelta’s dad…this is just getting ridiculous.
They must have just pulled it, then. That sucks.
It is, isn’t it? The poor guy can’t seem to be able to catch a breath. If it’s not cover-gate, it’s brother-gate and now album-gate. It sucks.
Meanwhile, Carly’s, Michael Johns’, Kristy’s and Brooke’s albums all are still available for purchase.
Oh yeah, that’s fair!
sigh.
The pains of being a frontrunner, I guess. But it does seem ridiculous, doesn’t it? There’s always gotta be some kind of “scandal”.
The media pounds Cook incessantly over supposed “controversies” that are in reality a whole bunch of nothing. And they can’t even get basic facts straight. That Friedman hit-piece was off the wall.
I don’t remember it being this bad for anyone else either. The press has passed ridiculous and are headed for absurd.
Brooke’s album is actually available at Amazon, but though re-sellers. It’s currently out of print. I’m not sure Michael Johns has much control over the selling of his band’s CD. I’m not sure what’s up with Carly.
These things can be done–selling albums during Idol–but they have to be done carefully. If there was a problem, I’d think TPTB would have pulled it already.
MJ, I saw on another site, that it had already been pulled. Is this true?
What utter and complete BullShite!!!
Poor boy can’t catch a break.
Yes, Lisa. It’s been pulled.
I don’t get it, maybe I ought to don a tinhat to help figure it out. It just really sux.
btw, would have helped had I scrolled up a bit to see someone had already mentioned it had been pulled, lol.
Actually, you can still buy the album at http://www.fuzz.com/store/artist/DavidCookRocks. It might be a little slow, but I was able to do it earlier today.
