It was like listening to one long song for an hour....shudders!!! The best sounding song that was completely different was the cover of a Feist song she sang.

Jason's Over the Rainbow was nice too, though it was a cover of that Hawaiian guy's amazing version (he has a long name and I'm too busy to go look it up on my itunes). The Beatles songs have been covered by hundreds of singers over the years. They wrote great songs that singers like to sing and people don't tire of hearing. Nice to see Jason Mraz on that list too.

He sells well in stores too. I always see that cd at Target and Walmart. According to wikipedia, he is: <blockquote>a Hawaii-born singer-songwriter, musician, filmmaker,[2] and surfer who has achieved commercial success and a dedicated following, after the release of his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales in 2001. He has since released four more albums and a number of EPs. His music is best described as acoustic/soft rock/vocal.</blockquote> His father was a famous surfer. Jack was also a surfer until he had a bad accident, and while healing he wrote songs and played guitar. His songs have a unique Hawaiian beat that is so mellow. He's really easy to listen to and his songs have meaningful lyrics too. Like "where have all the good people gone" ... p.s. It's great to have both Davids on the charts. It doesn't matter to me whose song was out longer or who is higher on the list or any of that. They both made the top song list, that is something to celebrate. Were any other Idols on the list?

I believe iTunes makes up about 17% of the album sale market, but not 17% of each artist's sales. It just offers a lot more album choices than a physical store, so it's a lot of albums selling only a few copies each, but that's enough for iTunes to make up 17% of total album sales. Plus, some artists simply do better on iTunes than others. For some reason, John Legend does better on iTunes than a lot of artists that ultimately sell more each week. The Twilight soundtrack sells an abnormally large amount of albums on iTunes relative to their total sales. But then you have Beyonce that clearly doesn't sell as well on iTunes as she does in physical stores.

When I heard the demo of TOML that morning of the finale my prediction was that since it was such a boring, cheesy piece of dreck it would cause whoever was forced to sing and release it much failure and would probably be one of the worst selling coronation songs. Oops :lol_tb: Lord.

My post disappeared :blink_tb: Lemme try again... Congratulations to both Davids! Definitely goes to show that the music business is big enough for both of them (plus other Idols too! lol). Is there a link to the complete list? I can't find one at the RS link above. I'm curious to see what other Idols (like maybe Daughtry or Carrie) charted as well. I'm pretty happy that Magic Rainbows made the list, I'm pretty sure not many would have predicted that when the song came out. Go Little Rainbow, Go! :clap_tb: :lol_wp: (ETA: oops, sorry tinawina, lol) I've never paid attention to charts before so I don't know, but is it usual for soundtracks to make the top albums list? I only recognized one of those three movies. :huh_tb: (I do seem to be especially smiley happy today!) Weird. My post disappeared :blink_tb: Lemme try again…

It Just.Won't.Die. That thing rose in sales AGAIN this week, didn't it? While I am happy for David, I am sad for my (hopeless) dream that the Idol producers would drop the whole crappy coronation song tradition. But now, because the damn Rainbow refuses to go away, they will be all about the treacly suckiness more than ever. 6 (7?) months later and it's <em>still </em> charting. *shakes fist to the heavens* Damn You Rainbow! :laugh_tb: Magic Rainbow is like the zombie of coronation songs.

It's just usually what happens. This is why Idol likes to have their big release the first week of the BB year. Taylor Swift will also lose her first week sales which were significant. Josh Groban has the best selling album released in 2007, but his sales were split across two chart years, so he doesn't get credit for them (except from true year end charts). It really bugs me that people have such short attention spans that we cannot wait until the end of the year to find out which song/album was actually the best seller within that calendar year. You can go direct-to-print in hours, but nope, we cut the year off in mid-November. Why don't they just invent a new name for these years? Lots of countries don't follow the Julien calender. Invent the Record Year and year one could be the year that SoundScan started (or the year that phonographs were invented). I'm such a nit picker. Thus ends my yearly rant on end-of-year lists.
