   Declines are normal in the week after Thanksgiving, since the Black Friday period rush fades out (but it tends to pick up again as you get closer to Christmas, before crashing in January).

   So Katharine, has gone from 3 or 4 weeks ago selling 300 albums, to 400 the next week, to 500 the next week and now 600! Increase!

   I have been hoping that Kellie would go platinum and she is inching toward it. It may take her a while but I feel like she will make it. Way to go, Kellie!

   To go platinum (1 million shipped and I don’t see them overshipping her album), Kellie needs to average about 7,000 a week over the next year. It is a tall order unless a sudden spike (i.e. Grammy nominations) take place.

   What a steep drop for Jordin albums. More than 50%. Not good at all. If the trend continues, her total album sales will not be even past over Kellie Pickler.

   If I’m not mistaken over 50% and close to 60% is the common 2nd week dip for everyone.. Kirsten may know the actual facts perhaps…
