    Idol Chatter sales up: http://blogs.usatoday.com/idolchatter/2008/05/phil-debuts-at.html#more

    And Jordin has surpassed Taylor in album sales.

    Not good numbers for Phil, which is not really a surprise. I never thought he was really country anyway. Can Sligh top his numbers next week? Probably not.

    Poor Taylor … OTOH, Chris D. actually has a shot at going 5xPlatinum..

    Keep it up Jordin! Prove that Idol is for real and they DO make stars!
