Another Wednesday, another sales report. Will the Idols get a bump from the return of Idol? Can it offset the sagging iTunes sales now that everybody has used up all their gift cards? Let’s see…
Carrie goes platinum. Kris cracks the top 20 and Adam moves into the top 50. And Daughtry manages to sell almost exactly the same number of downloads they sold last week. How bizarre is that?
On the album front. Jason’s EP debuts while Carrie’s first album (24%), Kris (13%) and Adam (9%) see an increase in sales.
