I did buy his cd through iTunes on Fri. because Walmart didn't have it on sale and I could finish it off for $9 because I already had his single. I've heard the first few songs and liked them. I think it should do well. I’m a little late in the conversation but wanted to say I’m happy for DC.

I'm not sure if that's true but it's pretty impressive that he's personally managing DC. And -- focusing on the chart positions is silly, when it's obvious that DC had a much tougher week with more competition than DA did. What place would DA have been in this past week with 183,000 sales? Not #2 for sure. The chart position is relative to who else is competing that week, so it's like comparing apples to oranges to compare one week to another.

(Pretty great sale-- use MJ's link if you take advantage). Also, based on the few black Friday ads I've seen, I haven't seen the DC's record slashed anywhere. I saw a couple ads of it on "sale" for 9.99/9.98, but that's not really a sale compared to the 7.99, 6.99 and lower prices for some other new releases that I remember seeing (Taylor Swift, Beyonce among them, I think).
