For the Idol number watchers, the news stays grim. The only Idol in the top 100 albums is now Carrie Underwood and even she suffered a 24% drop. And that wasn’t even the biggest drop . Clay had that with a 47% drop. She wasn’t the only one with a drop either. All the Idol albums dropped.
Hopefully, there will be some good news in the download numbers later today. The fall releases can’t come soon enough (and the debut singles that precede them).
Billboard week 7/10/10.
