Idol Related Sales Numbers after the jump (Billboard issue date 3/21/09)

Some weird voice over announcer introduces the judges and Ryan Seacrest. Very odd.Simon announces that TWO contestants will go home tomorrow.

*Ryan announced a surprise change to the rules that’s about the judges….Simon does NOT think we’ll like it. I’m thinking it’s a variation on the bottom 2 singoff with the judges choosing who goes [...]
