Idol Sales News – Week Ending 09/16/12

Four albums may have sold over 100K this week. Woo? Q4 better be more exciting than most of this year. Ever since Adele started falling down the charts, where is the fun?

Anyway, this is the weekly sales thread. Let’s hope for some Idol and X-Factor releases to spice up this joint. Who knows, maybe even somebody from The Voice may break out of witness protection and move some units. Remember when they used to make noise on the charts from their auditions? Even Glee isn’t as powerful as it once was.

Post numbers as you find them. If you find them. Thanks!
