    Tatto shows up as #62 on top 100 songs on iTunes. How did Jordin’s single This Is My Now do? She never got the physical single all the others did is all I can remember.

    How did Jordin’s single This Is My Now do?

    The last time we got numbers for “This is My Now” was back on July 18th. It wasn’t selling much at that time, so it’s possible the numbers haven’t changed all that much:

    Total Sales Single: 177K
    Total Sales EP: 45K
    Total Sales: 222K

    TIMN’s first week was it’s best week. It reached #9 on the download chart with 74,303 (was outsold by both “Home” and “Never Again” that week)

    For you Paul Potts fans, SS has him debuting at #30 with 22K

    Kirsten, thank you for that info on Jordin. You rule.

    The only Idol numbers I have are:
    YAMIN*ELLIOTT ELLIOTT YAMIN
    This Week: 7,700
    Total: 406,200

    So congrats Elliott on selling over 400K and hoping to see you go Gold in 2007 (or 2008).

    Methinks you have an extra comma in Carrie’s “So Small” totals there. I mean, she’ll certainly reach 1 million with soon enough, and my wailing and rending of garments will ensue, but that had me scared right thurr…

    This seems to be the right number:
    47 43 UNDERWOOD*CARRIE SO SMALL 22292 21112 160904

    I thought it was kind of amazing she’d already sold so many. :)
