Update: Taylor Swift Goes Platinum her first week. HDD Predicts: 1, 044, 477.
It’s possible that the SS numbers may be different, but this is pretty darn impressive in today’s music market. Selling a million in one week has always been rare.
It’s Country vs the Rappers this week in the top 5 (with the KOL thrown into the mix). Taylor Swift completely dominates the chart and is already selling almost 10 times what the second highest act on the chart is selling. Meanwhile, 5 of the top 10 albums on the chart are from Country artists. Eminem manages to hang in the top 5 after all these many weeks.
But, this is an Idol blog so let’s talk about the Idols. Fantasia continues to be the sole Idol representative on the HDD charts. She’s currently at 34. There are Idols featured on Now 35 (11 – Carrie), B.T.R. (16 – Jordin) and Santana’s Guitar Heaven (38 – Chris Daughtry).
Am I the only one that isn’t impressed with the sales of Glee’s Rocky Horror songs? When the songs failed to dominate the top 10 on iTunes last week, I thought everybody must be buying the EP. Turns out, that’s not so. Sure, it was in the top 6 last week, but it still isn’t up there with where some of their other EPs were. Is the auto-download bloom coming off that rose. Mabye give us some stories to go with those songs, Murphy.
