Yep. I’m a bit busy right now, but I’ll add them to the main chart later tonight. I love putting up as many numbers as I can get.

Congratulations to DC on sales of LO for this week again, now nearly 650,000 and growing steadily and the airplay is also rising well now 22 on Top 40 and 6 on HAC

Fabulous news about sales for DCTR giving a total of 916,000 and only 84,000 to platinum in sales and already certified.

Also good news for TOML reaching 1.1 million.

^Thank you Judy. At least I know I’m not crazy. lol

Pam, he messed up DAs too. In one place he has the album at 61,000 and we know it’s at 607,000. He also then rounds it to 610,000, which of course it is 607,000. I think he needs to proofread his work more carefully! If he keeps that up, we could start not trusting his numbers.

^^^My guess, it’s a case of excessive rounding, an ailment likely to last only a single week.

Hm, how did Brian get 919K total for DCTR?

I was wondering the same thing. When I did the math, I got just over 916K.

Yay! Wow, that’s awesome. So HDD’s projections were less than the actually units sold. Yay. Boy, I’m just thrilled. Awesome that LO is selling at a nice clip.

I am SO happy for Kelly. I’m telling you, she’s going to school Katy Perry. Heh. Kelly’s back. Awesome.

Hm, how did Brian get 919K total for DCTR? Adding Gigglesmo3′s list above (replacing 23K with 24K) yields 916,422… maybe rounding up for the last two weeks? But that only gives me ~918K max, right? Haha, this is so minor, I don’t know why it is bothering me.

Looks like Jordin will sell platinum in 4 weeks if she maintains 2K per week. Hmm, I’m guessing she will hit platinum one week before DC unless DC’s second single shoots out of the gate and races up the charts within the next couple weeks (doubtful).

I think Archie’s appearance tonight on AI will help boost ALTNOY sales. It’s a great song and I can’t wait for it to start getting more airplay.

And YAY for Cookie. Only 81,000 to platinum! :clap_tb:

Yep! Thanks Pam!

Per Brian at Idol Chatter, finally an update on ALTNOY. See below:

“Meanwhile, A Little Too Not Over You, which re-entered the Top 200 last week with almost 10,000 downloads, drops from 143 to 169. This week’s 8,000 sales bring the track’s total to 75,000.”

Hey, it’s a start!

^^^Yes. And, he has ALTNOY at 75,000 total, JudyOhio.

DCTR sold 24,000, for approx. 919,000 total per Brian Mansfield.
