I dunno, I think August sounds like a good time for a new single for David and I don’t think CBTM will still be growing on HAC till fall. I could be wrong, but that’s a long time and the bullet at the moment is not that huge for the song to keep growing for more 2 months. I could be wrong, of course. And the GMA appearance sounds like such a good time for a new single.
Permanent wasn’t released to radio, and was never meant to be a single. It was just a one-off performance for charity.
I think either Save You and Already Gone would be good choices for Kelly at this point. Her voice sounds great on both, and it’s time to remind people that Kelly can sing things Katy Perry never could. I liked MLWSWY, but IDNHU is blech. Already Gone seems like the more natural choice (sounds more like what’s on the radio), but I’ve seen with female pop acts that the third single is often a good time to whip out the ballad…
Brian’s numbers are up!
I’m pretty pleasantly surprised DC went up in total sales. I was bracing myself cuz he went down quite a bit on iTunes. I guess iTunes is not a good indicator of album sales when it’s further down the iTunes rankings (anything past 50, really).
All in all, great sales news. Too bad Brian didn’t post their Billboard 200 rankings, cuz I’m totally curious.
Deleted.
It looks like a good week for Idols all around!
Friggin’ amazing.
He did take a hit in his digital sales, but he’s always been strongest at the big box stores. He is stablizing, and will probably start inching back up as CBTM’s airplay rises.Go Cookie!
I cannot believe both Daughtry and Some Hearts are still on the BB Top 200. incredible!
Happy as well to see DCTR stabilazing. I was also worried because of iTunes. Logically I know it’s not a solid indicator, but since it’s the closest we have, it’s easy to forget sometimes that it only accounts for a very small percentage of total sales.
I still vote August for next single (as if anyone’s asking me) but if DCTR can stay stable on the back of CBTM’s radioplay, all the better to prolong this era and make the most of it.
David Cook performed at two large festivals on 6/18 and 6/20. This probably helped with some sales. It will be interesting to see if there will be sales increases after well attended performances in the future.
Kelly’s numbers are a disappointment again. It’s just weird that she only sold 1000 more than DC with all of her CHR airplay.
Because I’ve been doing the weekly sales for Kris and Adam, I’ve continued to do so this week, although it’s getting lean for both the boys. Data compiled from the Top 200 Digital Chart — thank you Brian Mansfield. (6/21/09)

Brian at Idol Chatter has gotten some specially requested numbers up:
It seems pretty clear that the total for Elliott’s sophomore album is wrong—if he was selling that much, he’d be on the BB 200, pretty high up in the rankings. But Brian is checking into that and will likely fix it. Otherwise the numbers make sense to me.
That’s the number I’ve been waiting for! So with 41K left to go, LO is slowly (slowwwly) closing in on Platinum. I seem to remember that idea seemed far fetched at a certain point… Go (almost) Platinum Boat Anchor!
Wow, Light On is just on the cusp of platinum. That’s really good, since so many didn’t really care for it when it first came out. I always liked it though.
LO is moving toward platinum faster at this time than I thought it would be. I’d been guesstimating that it was pulling between 4K and 5K a week, but at 959K, that means that it’s pulled over 24K in the last four weeks. It seems reasonably likely that LO will make platinum by its birthday of 9/23.
