    According to all the numbers and predictive numbers, Leona Lewis should get number one on both the BB200 (albums) and the Hot 100 (Singles).

    Well done, Mr. Cowell.

    What about Ruben’s Celebrate me Home? Is it even on iTunes?

    It is on iTunes. I checked a few weeks ago. I just haven’t seen any numbers for it yet, but we usually only get Idol related numbers if a song gets into the top 200.

    I’m particularly interested in sales of Josh Gracin’s new CD “We Weren’t Crazy”. I bought this and it is fabulous.

    Sorry, no numbers for that yet this week. Ken Barnes forgot to give an update for Josh (the others are up now. I can’t edit the main post right now, but I’ll do it later tonight). He may give us an update later (somebody has already poked him about it) or the SS numbers might leak later this week.

    Here are his numbers from last week:
    33 GRACIN*JOSH WE WEREN’T CRAZY 18,120 23 999 18,146

    Typically, second week drops are in the 40-60% range.

    Josh’s numbers have been posted above (single and album)
