Happy 4th of July!
In this week’s sales, will Idol’s Carly Rae’s “Call Me Maybe” be able to fend off the combined sales of the Voice’s Adam’s Maroon’s 5 “Payphone” to top the digital and Hot 100 charts or will the complete-my-album purchases sink the song about antiquated technology? Tune in for the Battle of the Songs about Phones!
In the album front, how will Maroon 5 do? How many Idols/XFactorers/Sing-offers be on the official charts?
This is the weekly sales thread. Please post numbers as you find them. Thanks!
