HDD has the final sales figures in now, if anybody wants to copy them wherever they are supposed to go, now that this is off the front page now…..

(and above, Brian not Brain, lol) oops.

Brian’s are from last week, HDD is today’s post of course.

For Week 12, I believe the “final” number in SoundScan/Mediabase for DCTR is 16,954 placing him #29.

TOML: 1,095,587
LO: 676,591
Total sales for DCTR is 953,279 with only 46,721 left to 1M as far as Mediabase is concerned.

However, only 80% of retailers report to SoundScan so only the label really knows how much was sold, but the chart is an indication or report card on how an album is doing overall so it’s not really “final numbers.” I’d imagine a slight increase but nothing significantly higher but those numbers do accumulate week after week.

Now why isn’t Brian reporting sales figures?

Yes, Brian seems more interested in the drama of the actual show than the Idol sales numbers. Go figure.

I’m actually struggling to be nice and not say AGAIN that he’s no Ken Barnes! Numbers please?! LOL

David Cook The Record, named so because we’ve been calling it The Record since forever (that’s what he calls it, rather than album), and then adding DC because, well, that’s the name of his record.

spanishfan, Given the rounded off numbers that were leaked earlier today, he likely sold somewhere between 16,700 and 17,900. But we won’t know for sure until someone somewhere spills the beans.

^^ That’s the HDD estimate, not the final soundscan number for DCTR. We don’t know what his actual sales are yet.

DCTR has sold 16,900 this week

19 30 DAVID COOK 19/RCA/RMG 16,902 -6%
DAVID COOK

giving a total of 953,000 with 47,000 to go to 1,000,000 actual sales. Very steady week without performances. This week should be different with the GMA performance and the start of his tour.

LO must be very close to 700,000 if not over this week.
