uhoh!!! someone call and ask about if it is tru about the story of him finding a Tourtle during the AI competition… and about what happened with the Betta Fish..

If her first week is in the 15K range will she have the lowest first week sales of anyone signed by 19? It’s too early to call but her numbers look in the Phil ballpark so far (but he was signed by a smaller label.)

Are you sure thatà ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã¢â€ž ¢s correct? Only 4,726 in sales and she charts at 39 on the BB 200?

Different stores report at different times. Walmart is one of the earlier reporters and they do a brisk business in Country music. Therefore, Country artists tend to do well in the 20-40% of HDD reports (Barnes and Nobles is one of the first reporters and you’ll often see classical music or something doing well on HDD during the early percents).

Tomorrow, the Urban markets start reporting and typically the R&B/Rap numbers go up (so don’t count those artists out if they are low on the first day). Kristy could maintain her ranking, but if it does drop, this might be part of the explanation.

I’m looking at the page now and that’s exactly what I’m seeing.

Those are her sales so far as the different merchants report their numbers to HDD.

Here are Phil’s first week numbers:

That’s more than I thought she’d sell already.
I think she’ll do better than Phil from S6 but I can’t remember what his first week’s album sales were.
Blondes in country are really in.

I could not have planned a more perfect night for a McPhan. To finally see Katharine live, and to see her with the Boston Pops in Symphony Hall is more than I could have hoped for. But getting to meet her and Nick afterwards though briefly was simply a perfect ending to a perfect evening. Those who have met her know just how incredibly beautiful she is in person. Words truly can not describe it.

Chris Botti said Katharine is “destined for super-stardom”. With this line up of A-List performers she fit right in. And what was so great is that it was Jazzy Kat, flirtacious Kat, funny Kat, the Kat I fell in love with I finally got to see. This genre is where she is in a league of her own. Though it was only one song, it was perfection.

As far as Kat’s performance and arrangement of I’ve Got You Under My Skin, it was Sinatra’s version. It was uptempo, sultry, jazzy, sexy and funny. Chris started with a little thing about his guitar player having a crush on Kat that everyone has but he needed to stay away from her. All the while the basic riff kept repeating by the Pops. But when she came out and sang it was simply amazing. She was playful, flirty, did a little dance move, strolled around the stage playing the whole thing up while Mark Whitten tried to sneak center stage to do a guitar solo and get near Kat. She was so at home with that band and orchestra. And everyone loved it. The comments I heard in the audience during and after the show were all things like “I didn’t know she was that good till I heard her live”.

After she was done, Chris introduced Yo-Yo Ma and there was no disconnect. No one felt like that was an unnatural jump of performers. She belonged on that stage with these folks in this audience’s mind.

Finally and what is so great is that even beyond seeing Katharine, this was an incredible show. I would absolutely recommend any music lover to buy this CD/DVD when it is released in December and March. This was A-List entertainment. True musical artistry and Katharine fit in flawlessly.

It was a very special evening for me. One I will get to re-live when the CD/DVD is released.

BTW Anna Faris is scheduled to be the Guest host on SNL this week which should give The House Bunny another boost. It was #10 this weekend and is now at $45.724 Million dollars. It is headed easily over 50 million and approaching 60 mil in domestic gross alone. It’s first international release is Australia and New Zealand on thursday.
