Idol Sales News – Week Ending 10/23/11

Now with Numbers! We’ve crossed the 1 billion download mark for the year!

No numbers have leaked yet, but we are looking for those official numbers for Scotty’s third week and Lauren’s second week. Both are expected to stay in the top 10. I hoped we would get one day predictions from HDD yesterday for Kelly’s new album, but it looks like we’ll get the 2 day predictions today.
