Daughtry's 'No Surprise' stays on top; Kelly Clarkson, Jordin Sparks make moves

I've arrived in New York, where I'll be seeing Rock of Ages and the David Cook concert Thursday at the Nokia Theatre Times Square, but I haven't forgotten about this week's American Idol airplay numbers. I'm not yet sure if I'll be able to see any of Friday's Good Morning Americaconcert in Central Park featuring David, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I'm supposed to be at work around that time, but I'll see how things work out. (If they don't, I hope one of you will go and post about it.)

It's kind of a slow week on the chart, with the top three positions remaining the same. Daughtry's on top, followed by Jordin Sparks and Kellie Pickler. Kelly Clarkson rounds out the Top 5 with the fourth and fifth spots.

Further down the Mediabase-powered chart, Kelly's Already Gone is picking up steam, as it moves from #57 to #42 with 320 spins. And Jordin's S.O.S. (Let the Music Play) moves up 10 spots from #79 to #69.

The above sales chart either:

1) Shows true graphic evidence of how far the CD market has dropped or

2) Jordin is in big time trouble. 2 weeks worth of sales nets only 66K. That can't be good.

This weeks sales figures from USA Today.

Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information

On the sales side this week, Daughtry continues to have the best-selling American Idol release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. At its current pace, Leave This Town could pass the half-million mark in next week's data. Jordin Sparks' Battlefield single has begun to slip, but it remains the most-downloaded Idol-related digital track.

The only thing addition to our list this week is WalMart's American Idol Season 8 EP, which makes its debut with just over 24,000 sales. The EP contains five tracks from this season's four top finalists: Kris Allen and Danny Gokey's Renegade, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert's Slow Ride, as well as Adam's Whole Lotta Love, Danny's What Hurts the Most and Kris' Ain't No Sunshine.

Seriously?!?! Renegade?!?! Hey, I like Kris and Danny's music, but how many people are dying to relive one of the low points of Season 8?

I wonder whether Gokey's infernal scream of death is included as a bonus track...

Here is the sales data for the past week.

Daughtry's 'Leave This Town' passes the half-million mark - Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information

Daughtry's 'Leave This Town' passes the half-million mark

Daughtry remains the top American Idol album seller this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The 38,000 units Leave This Town moved, while down 14 percent over the previous week, was enough to push it past the half-million mark in its fifth week of release. Only 30 other albums have sold more than 500,000 copies this year. (One of those, of course, is Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted, at 675,000.)

And here's something I'd think has to be encouraging for Daughtry: Leave This Town has sold 514,000 units, while single No Surprise has sold 637,000 downloads. That's a sales ratio of 1:1.2. Compare that with Jordin Sparks' Battlefield album and single (1:8.8) or Kellie Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted and My Life Would Suck Without You (1:3.1), and it suggests an audience for Daughtry that's much more interested in the artist than in just the radio hits.

Because it's a big Daughtry week, what with the new album and all, Nielsen SoundScan has given Idol Chatter a whole bunch of sales data on the band. Daughtry's debut album has cumulative sales of 4.49 million, and here are figures for some of the band's most popular downloads: It’s Not Over: 2 million Home: 1.8 million Over You: 1.2 What About Now: 597,000 Feels Like Tonight: 718,000 Plus, I've followed up on some of your requests regarding Clay Aiken and Mandisa -- and I've got news on free downloads from Brooke White and Phil Stacey! Because you asked, here are the current sales totals for Clay Aiken's album catalog: Measure of a Man: 2.78 Merry Christmas With Love: 1.37 A Thousand Different Ways: 530,000 On My Way Here: 163,000 All Is Well: Songs for Christmas: 53,000 Playlist: The Very Best of Clay Aiken: 7,000 Also, Mandisa's Freedom album has sold 21,000 copies, and Brooke White's set of pre-Idol recordings, Songs From the Attic, has sold 17,000. By the way, Amazon currently offers a free download of one of that album's tracks, Follow Me. You can also get Phil Stacey's latest single, You're Not Shaken, for free there, too.

I'm not yet sure if I'll be able to see any of Friday's Good Morning Americaconcert in Central Park featuring David, Kris Allen and Adam Lambert. I'm supposed to be at work around that time, but I'll see how things work out. (If they don't, I hope one of you will go and post about it.) It's kind of a slow week on the chart, with the top three positions remaining the same. Daughtry's on top, followed by Jordin Sparks and Kellie Pickler. Kelly Clarkson rounds out the Top 5 with the fourth and fifth spots. Further down the Mediabase-powered chart, Kelly's Already Gone is picking up steam, as it moves from #57 to #42 with 320 spins. And Jordin's S.O.S. (Let the Music Play) moves up 10 spots from #79 to #69.

Though the sales of Leave This Town predictably drop, the album remains at #2 on the top sales chart this week, behind Fabolous' Loso's Way. The album has sold 432,000 copies in its three weeks out, making it already the 36th best-selling album of 2009. Jordin Sparks's Battlefield remains the most-downloaded digital track, but Kelly Clarkson's new single, Already Gone, makes a huge leap, increasing by 252 percent.

razorbacker FORT Fogey Join Date: Apr 2004 Posts: 6,052	Re: Idol sales totals from USA Today This weeks sales figures from USA Today. Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information On the sales side this week, Daughtry continues to have the best-selling American Idol release, according to Nielsen SoundScan. At its current pace, Leave This Town could pass the half-million mark in next week's data. Jordin Sparks' Battlefield single has begun to slip, but it remains the most-downloaded Idol-related digital track. The only thing addition to our list this week is WalMart's American Idol Season 8 EP, which makes its debut with just over 24,000 sales. The EP contains five tracks from this season's four top finalists: Kris Allen and Danny Gokey's Renegade, Allison Iraheta and Adam Lambert's Slow Ride, as well as Adam's Whole Lotta Love, Danny's What Hurts the Most and Kris' Ain't No Sunshine. Albums: Daughtry, Leave This Town (44,000, -29 percent, 476,000 total/6,000 digital, -36 percent, 95,000 digital total) Soundtrack, Hannah Montana 3 (34,000, -17 percent, 339,000/1,000 digital, -25 percent, 27,000 digital total) Various, American Idol Season 8 EP (24,000, debut, 24,000) Jordin Sparks, Battlefield (11,000, -33 percent, 77,000/1,000 digital, -53 percent, ) Kelly Clarkson, All I Ever Wanted (6,000, -9 percent, 668,000/1,000 digital, -18 percent, 142,000 digital total) Kellie Pickler, Kellie Pickler (5,000, -3 percent, 289,000) Carrie Underwood, Carnival Ride (5,000, -7 percent, 2.945 million) Various, American Idol Season 8 (5,000, -17 percent, 54,000) Daughtry, Daughtry (5,000, -4 percent, 4.509 million/377,000 digital total) David Cook, David Cook (5,000, +12 percent, 1.218 million/150,000 digital total) Carrie Underwood, Some Hearts (3,000, -6 percent, 6.825 million) Digital Tracks: Jordin Sparks, Battlefield [Main Version] (65,000, -15 percent, 686,000 total) Daughtry, No Surprise (32,000, -10 percent, 607,000) Kellie Pickler, Best Days of Your Life (26,000, -7 percent, 723,000) Kelly Clarkson, Already Gone (24,000, +41 percent, 125,000) David Cook, Come Back to Me (11,000, +5 percent, 309,000) Kelly Clarkson, I Do Not Hook Up (11,000, -25 percent, 595,000) Kelly Clarkson, My Life Would Suck Without You (10,000, -12 percent, 2.053 million)

Daughtry's 'Leave This Town' passes the half-million mark - Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information Daughtry's 'Leave This Town' passes the half-million mark Daughtry remains the top American Idol album seller this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The 38,000 units Leave This Town moved, while down 14 percent over the previous week, was enough to push it past the half-million mark in its fifth week of release. Only 30 other albums have sold more than 500,000 copies this year. (One of those, of course, is Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted, at 675,000.) And here's something I'd think has to be encouraging for Daughtry: Leave This Town has sold 514,000 units, while single No Surprise has sold 637,000 downloads. That's a sales ratio of 1:1.2. Compare that with Jordin Sparks' Battlefield album and single (1:8.8) or Kellie Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted and My Life Would Suck Without You (1:3.1), and it suggests an audience for Daughtry that's much more interested in the artist than in just the radio hits.
