How will Blake's album fare on the chart..? We'll have to wait for another week to find out.. please buy the original album to help boost his album sales..
Jordin's self-titled album dropped 57% in its second week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, and falls from No. 10 to No. 18 on the Billboard chart. Given that holiday season tends to soften a lot of second-week sales declines, and that Jordin didn't sell all that much in her first week, this is not tremendously encouraging news. She sold 52,000 and her two-week total is 171,000.
Carrie remains top Idol on the chart, but drops 7-9 after selling 89,000, a 37% skid from the previous week. Her total is 1.16 million
Daughtry drops 33-37, falling 24% in sales to 33,000 for a total of 3.37 million.
Carrie's Some Hearts climbs 68-62 despite sliding 11% in sales to 18,000. (It was a slow week overall.) Her total is 6.06 million.
Elliott's contribution to Target's Sounds of the Season series jumps 170-79, selling 13,000, up about 83% for a total of 23,000.
And, continuing her on-and-off relationship with the chart, Kellie returns at No. 187, selling 5,300 (down 100 or so, but it was a lot easier to get on the chart this week) for a total of 665,000.
Off-the-chart Idols follow.
Ran through these faster than usual by necessity, so minor inconsistencies may crop up. But anyway...
