    That’s 2 back-to-back shows at MSG (capacity: 20,000) in 30 seconds.  Not bad.  ;)  I many be in the minority, but I think that Bieber will avoid the fate of other teen stars and continue his success well into adulthood.

    Thanks for posting those stats. The one caveat to those rankings is that they are all for downloads after the finale, and I’m sure that a lot of those studio versions sold a lot of downloads earlier in the season, shortly after the episode when they became available.  So those ranking only indicate a partial ranking of studio songs post-finale.

    The only problems that I see with this is that I think your point would be better supported if you showed the positions of the songs for every day after the finale, and not just pick the day after. You say that you are going by facts, but your facts are incomplete. As you said, the Itunes chart is a rolling chart, so you are not telling me if there was any movement for any of the season ten songs between Thursday to Sunday that could have put them into the top 200.

    Secondly, if 19 didn’t give permission for the numbers to be released, then they wouldn’t have shown up on the Digital top 200 chart.

    Looks like the official published Mediabase charts are out:

    Carrie is officially #1 on the Mediabase country chart with “Good Girl”. Congrats!

    All my point was to show how many songs each season’s top 2 placed on the Digital songs chart andctheur total sales. I thought the information would be helpful, not trying to make some grand argument. I don’t know how relevant the rest of the iTunes rankings would be, they always go down after the finale and not up. Plus my point was to show James and Haley’s songs were indeed on the iTunes charts but not high and therefore would explain why they did not makes the Digital 200 chart. If their songs were indeed hidden then what evidence supports that claim and why didn’t this happen to all the other finalists in the years of digital sales?

    Fuzzy, of course this is only for the week of the finale. We’d love to get our hands on the sales numbers from during the season, bet it would be eye popping for many of the contestants!

    I’m not sure that they always go down between Thursday to Sunday, but as you said earlier, a record of that would be more accurate than memory or opinion.

    Stefano will debut at #49 on the Medibase Pop charts tomorrow.

  • justmefornow

    Does he have an album in the works, or is it just a single for now?
    His song is the perfect fit for the fluff crap on POP radio. And lol at that video.
    I have a feeling he’s going to do well.

    Oh, good for Stefano!

    Here’s what the official chart looks like for him:

    56   49   Stefano   I’m On A Roll     246   163   83   0.393

    Meanwhile, Phillip has a spin increase of 61 on the HAC chart. He is sandwiched between Adm and Kris on the HAC “Spincrease” chart:

    WTMX is Chicago has been all over Phillip’s and Jessica’s coronation songs. They spun “Home” 27 times and “Change Nothing” 13 times in this reporting period:

    What kind of agreement could 19 have with both iTunes and Soundscan that would simultaneously allow songs to chart at a vendor but not be released for SS reporting?  SS gets their data from iTunes.

    Occam’s Razor.  Songs with a shortened sales week need to place higher in the rankings to make the weekly digital downloads chart.

    Following the discussion about Idol studios charting on Itunes, I have uploaded all the records I have, for seasons 9, 10 and 11:

    AI has started to allow the weekly compilation albums to chart, even during the season, but Itunes doesn’t report those to Soundscan or HDD.  If 19 asked that something not be reported or hidden, then it won’t be.  Based on their chart placement, the compilation cds had to have sold more than 3000 copies at least three times during the season.

    Thanks for posting those spread sheets. I like that I saw in black and white when they pulled James songs from itunes in June when the Interscope deal fell apart. They just “mysteriously” disappeared and you couldn’t buy them anymore but you could buy all the others while they were on tour.
    I think James handled that pretty well. I’d have been really pissed that they were f’ing with my money!

    I just wonder what it “means” in terms of real world success and fame how selling covers from a reality show becomes part of the equation.  ”Covers” (especially AI songs) aren’t about how someone translates into being known and making money from their “own” material post Idol.  Sure, someone can sell like hotcakes all the stuff they performed over the weeks of a TV show…but if they can’t carry that over when they are presenting their own stuff it sort of becomes a very mute issue, as far as I am concerned. Obviously many of the AI faithful love to have reminders of who they liked on Idol…and obviously some guys and girls are more poplar than others…but it doesn’t prove anything to me about how they will be embraced down the road.  In fact some never seem to garner an audience once the show is over.

    In the long term they have to release material that is fits current mood and has personality, and I don’t think that there is enough of it in Idol land.

    Yes, but that’s during the season for an album that features every contestant.  That can be a singular agreement with iTunes.

    The idea that they then after the season say “report these sales for these contestants because they are doing well but not these ones because they’re selling well enough to make the downloads chart but not well enough for us to brag about it”…that’s just not reasonable.

    No it’s not, and I never said that that’s what they did.  My only claim was that just like during the season, they may not have told Itunes that it was okay to release this information.  It had nothing to do with protecting anyone, more like it could have been an oversight.  This is the same group of people who took seven years to realize that they should put these songs on Itunes, and then took another year to realize that they should leave them up there for more than a week.  And two years after that to realize that the songs should be made available in places other than Itunes.

    Your initial claim was a little confusing, but part of it seemed to be that they wouldn’t let the songs chart on Itunes, if they were not prepared for the retailer to report those numbers, but we know that’s not true, because of the compilation albums charting, and those numbers not being reported.  So we have a case where Itunes has the ability to not have the singles chart, and not report the total sold, and have the albums chart, and still not report the numbers.  I think that clears that up.

And two years after that to realize that the songs should be made available in places other than Itunes

    See, I don’t think it took them that long.  I think they had to negotiate agreements with the songwriters and publishing firms.  In S6, they limited it to the AI site and cut off the sales.  In S7, they moved to iTunes but cut off the sales.  I have assumed for awhile that they didn’t do that to make life difficult for the fans (who would otherwise be putting more money in their pockets) but to appease firms representing artists who might be worried that their original versions would be overshadowed.  Two years of AI/iTunes data showing that the original songs got boosts as well was the defining argument, and then they had more power to negotiate for new seasons. 

    And again, moving away from iTunes probably had to do with the agreements for exposure.  iTunes is the biggest music market and they have a lot of power; it may simply have taken time to unwind any exclusive arrangements they made with them in the beginning.

    And FTR, my argument was that a specific agreement that would allow for charting but not releasing figures (either for specific artists or below specific thresholds) is not one that iTunes was likely to want to administer.  Put a Soundscan suppression code on anything in the database labeled AI11 and have that suppression code expire at a certain date?  Sure.  Put different Soundscan suppression codes on things in the database based on different conditions, depending on what the results eventually might be?  No, that doesn’t fly for me.
