Idol sales: Most down, 'Already Gone' grows

Daughtry's Leave This Town and Jordin Sparks' Battlefield respectively remain the top-selling American Idol album and single this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Though none of the current top-selling Idol releases had overall sales increases (Daughtry's first album did get a 4 percent bump), a couple of them did have better weeks on the digital side, with Leave This Town and Kelly Clarkson's All I Ever Wanted seeing double-digit growth. Kelly's Already Gone is the big gainer among Idol's digital tracks, its 20 percent increase meaning it sold nearly 32,000 downloads, bringing it to 183,000 overall.

I know album sales are in the trough & the download single seems to be driving the market, but, this can’t be good for Jordin. 8 weeks after release, opening tours for the Jonas Brothers & Brittany Spears & all they can muster is 109,000?

Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information

Kelly Clarkson's 'Already Gone' tops the Idol sales list

It's been weeks since we've had a new best-selling track among the American Idol alumnae, but Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone takes over the top spot this week. The third single from All I Ever Wanted had almost 42,000 scanned downloads last week, an 11 percent increase, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That gave her an edge of nearly 2,000 over Jordin Sparks' Battlefield, which sold just over 40,000. Battlefield did pass 900,000 cumulative downloads last week -- at the rate Jordin's going, she'll probably pass the million mark in three to four weeks.

Daughtry's Leave This Town remains the best-selling Idol album, selling more than 21,000 copies.

'Already Gone,' 'Leave This Town' chart high for Idol sales - Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information

'Already Gone,' 'Leave This Town' chart high for Idol sales

Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone remains the best-selling American Idol-related track this week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Already Gone saw a nine percent increase in weekly sales, its 46,000 downloads pushing it past the 300,000 mark. The next three other tracks -- Jordin Sparks' Battlefield, Daughtry's No Surprise and Kellie Pickler's Best Days of Your Life -- all saw double-digit percentage drops. Also, Katharine McPhee's Say Goodbye, the second single from her forthcoming album, sold nearly 7,000 copies.

Daughtry's Leave This Town was SoundScan's best-selling Idol album, moving just over 18,000 units.

The coming weeks should bring some good sales news, though, as Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova became available online this week, and Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying hits online stores next week.

Digital Tracks:

Carrie Underwood fans fall hard for 'Cowboy Casanova' - Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information

Carrie Underwood fans fall hard for 'Cowboy Casanova'

I realize it's late, but I do have some Nielsen SoundScan information for last week. Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova had the biggest-selling American Idol track of the week, debuting with more than 110,000 downloads. Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, which was available only for a couple days, had nearly 16,000 downloads -- the figures that come from SoundScan this week should give a truer picture of the track's appeal.

Having been reminded that the Now That's What I Call Music! compilations usually include an Idol track or two, I've started adding them to the weekly sales totals. For instance, the Chriss Ortega Radio Mix of Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You appears on the new Now That's What I Call Club Hits.

I've got a couple meetings today, so I'm going to post the Nielsen SoundScan sales data in two parts rather than keep you waiting all day. I'll get the tracks info up as soon as I can (real quick -- Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova, down 40 percent to 66,000 downloads; Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, up 49 percent to nearly 24,000), but right now, here's the album info from last week.

As expected, Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova continued to be the top-selling American Idol download last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan, even though its weekly sales fell off 40 percent. Another Carrie hit got some new life via the Fox show Glee: The Glee cast version of Last Name sold 20,000 copies.

Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying sold nearly 24,000 copies in its first full week of availability, giving it a release-to-date total of 39,000. And Jordin Sparks' Battlefield passed the million-download mark.

Your weekly Idol sales fix: The album numbers

The top-selling American Idol-related album this week comes from the contemporary Christian music field. The WOW Hits 2010 compilation, which made its debut selling more than 14,000 copies, features Mandisa's My Deliverer and Phil Stacey's You're Not Shaken.

Blake Lewis' Heartbreak on Vinyl also makes its debut this week, coming it at #135 on Nielsen SoundScan's Top 200 and selling a little bit more than 4,000 units. Blake did proportionally better on the digital side: Downloads accounted for more than a quarter of his sales, and Heartbreak came in at #89 on the SoundScan digital albums chart.

Kelly Clarkson had the healthiest increase among Idol albums. Her All I Ever Wanted saw a 13 percent increase in overall weekly sales, her more than 6,000 new sales pushing her cumulative total to nearly 723,000.

Your weekly Idol sales fix: The album numbers

I'm not divining much of a storyline in this week's Nielsen SoundScan data for American Idol-related releases, so let's go straight to the numbers:

Various, WOW Hits 2010 (14,000, -2 percent, 31,000 total)

Carrie Underwood, Carnival Ride (3,000, -2 percent, 2.980 million)

Carrie Underwood, Some Hearts (2,000, +9 percent, 6.853 million)

I'll have the SoundScan digital track data up shortly. Just a teaser: Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles was not the week's best-selling debut, and it missed being the best-selling Idol track by less than 500 downloads.

'Time for Miracles' makes its chart debut; how'd it do?

Kelly Clarkson sold nearly 47,000 downloads of Already Gone last week. But that's not what you want to know, is it?

Adam Lambert sold more than 46,000 downloads of Time for Miracles, putting it at #21 on the Nielsen SoundScan Top Digital Tracks chart. Time for Miracles was the second-best-selling American Idol download by fewer than 500 copies. The difference between it and the week's best-selling debut track was more pronounced: The Glee cast's cover of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline debuted at #13, selling more than 59,000 copies.

What can we read into this? Not a lot, I think. On the one hand, 46,000 downloads is a solid showing for a track that's not a single and the movie that features it isn't out yet. It hasn't been featured on a network television show, like Sweet Caroline, and it's not getting lots of airplay, like Already Gone. If you care about such things, it easily surpassed the first week-and-a-half's worth of sales for Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying (39,000). It didn't come close to Carrie Underwood's 110,000 debut for Cowboy Casanova (one wouldn't seriously have expected it to), but album track Carrie's Temporary Home debuted with fewer than 25,000 downloads this week. So all that's good.

However, if you want to look at it another way, you know those 200,000 or so people who follow Adam's every word on Twitter? More than three-quarters of them couldn't be bothered to plunk down a buck for the first real new music from him since May as soon as it came out. You can say the same thing about Kris's single, but that's maybe not the best standard of comparison. I haven't done comparables for non-Idol acts. That may be the standard, in which case it's not pretty for anybody.

Where does that leave us? Actually, very close to where we started. We've got a song that's not expected to be representative of Adam's overall output (just like No Boundaries was -- by the way, that sold 36,000 copies its first week out) and an album cover that raises more questions than it answers (like, "When Adam Tweeted that the cover "IS ridiculous," did he really mean that it was, as my dictionary says, "worthy of ridicule"? I know, I know, that's just the grammarian in me). So everybody has ammo to lob from their preferred position, but nothing gets settled.

Me, I can't wait for next week, to see what Adam's really got up his sleeve.

Your weekly sales fix: Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen tracks
11:33 AM

Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone was last week's top-selling American Idol track, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Selling nearly 43,000 copies put it at #29 on SoundScan's Current Digital Tracks chart and pushed its release-to-date total past the 600,000 mark.

Downloads of Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles fell a hefty 74 percent in its second week. That might seem like a lot, but a quick look at two other tracks in similar situations suggest it's not an abnormal amount. Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home, which, like Time for Miracles, is not currently a single, dropped 74 percent. And the Glee cast version of Sweet Caroline, last week's top-selling debut, fell off 71 percent.

Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, meanwhile, keeps plugging away, with sales increasing another three percent, and he stays in the 10,000 range, with more than 83,000 cumulative downloads.

Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information Kelly Clarkson's 'Already Gone' tops the Idol sales list It's been weeks since we've had a new best-selling track among the American Idol alumnae, but Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone takes over the top spot this week. The third single from All I Ever Wanted had almost 42,000 scanned downloads last week, an 11 percent increase, according to Nielsen SoundScan. That gave her an edge of nearly 2,000 over Jordin Sparks' Battlefield, which sold just over 40,000. Battlefield did pass 900,000 cumulative downloads last week -- at the rate Jordin's going, she'll probably pass the million mark in three to four weeks.

Carrie Underwood's Cowboy Casanova had the biggest-selling American Idol track of the week, debuting with more than 110,000 downloads. Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, which was available only for a couple days, had nearly 16,000 downloads -- the figures that come from SoundScan this week should give a truer picture of the track's appeal. Having been reminded that the Now That's What I Call Music! compilations usually include an Idol track or two, I've started adding them to the weekly sales totals. For instance, the Chriss Ortega Radio Mix of Kelly Clarkson's My Life Would Suck Without You appears on the new Now That's What I Call Club Hits.

Another Carrie hit got some new life via the Fox show Glee: The Glee cast version of Last Name sold 20,000 copies. Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying sold nearly 24,000 copies in its first full week of availability, giving it a release-to-date total of 39,000.

Your weekly Idol sales fix: The album numbers - Idol Chatter: American Idol News, Rumors, & Information Your weekly Idol sales fix: The album numbers The top-selling American Idol-related album this week comes from the contemporary Christian music field. The WOW Hits 2010 compilation, which made its debut selling more than 14,000 copies, features Mandisa's My Deliverer and Phil Stacey's You're Not Shaken. Blake Lewis' Heartbreak on Vinyl also makes its debut this week, coming it at #135 on Nielsen SoundScan's Top 200 and selling a little bit more than 4,000 units. Blake did proportionally better on the digital side: Downloads accounted for more than a quarter of his sales, and Heartbreak came in at #89 on the SoundScan digital albums chart. Kelly Clarkson had the healthiest increase among Idol albums. Her All I Ever Wanted saw a 13 percent increase in overall weekly sales, her more than 6,000 new sales pushing her cumulative total to nearly 723,000.

Just a teaser: Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles was not the week's best-selling debut, and it missed being the best-selling Idol track by less than 500 downloads. 'Time for Miracles' makes its chart debut; how'd it do? Kelly Clarkson sold nearly 47,000 downloads of Already Gone last week. But that's not what you want to know, is it? Adam Lambert sold more than 46,000 downloads of Time for Miracles, putting it at #21 on the Nielsen SoundScan Top Digital Tracks chart. Time for Miracles was the second-best-selling American Idol download by fewer than 500 copies. The difference between it and the week's best-selling debut track was more pronounced: The Glee cast's cover of Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline debuted at #13, selling more than 59,000 copies. What can we read into this? Not a lot, I think. On the one hand, 46,000 downloads is a solid showing for a track that's not a single and the movie that features it isn't out yet. It hasn't been featured on a network television show, like Sweet Caroline, and it's not getting lots of airplay, like Already Gone. If you care about such things, it easily surpassed the first week-and-a-half's worth of sales for Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying (39,000). It didn't come close to Carrie Underwood's 110,000 debut for Cowboy Casanova (one wouldn't seriously have expected it to), but album track Carrie's Temporary Home debuted with fewer than 25,000 downloads this week. So all that's good. However, if you want to look at it another way, you know those 200,000 or so people who follow Adam's every word on Twitter? More than three-quarters of them couldn't be bothered to plunk down a buck for the first real new music from him since May as soon as it came out. You can say the same thing about Kris's single, but that's maybe not the best standard of comparison. I haven't done comparables for non-Idol acts. That may be the standard, in which case it's not pretty for anybody. Where does that leave us? Actually, very close to where we started. We've got a song that's not expected to be representative of Adam's overall output (just like No Boundaries was -- by the way, that sold 36,000 copies its first week out) and an album cover that raises more questions than it answers (like, "When Adam Tweeted that the cover "IS ridiculous," did he really mean that it was, as my dictionary says, "worthy of ridicule"?

Your weekly sales fix: Kelly Clarkson, Adam Lambert, Kris Allen tracks 11:33 AM Kelly Clarkson's Already Gone was last week's top-selling American Idol track, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Selling nearly 43,000 copies put it at #29 on SoundScan's Current Digital Tracks chart and pushed its release-to-date total past the 600,000 mark. Downloads of Adam Lambert's Time for Miracles fell a hefty 74 percent in its second week. That might seem like a lot, but a quick look at two other tracks in similar situations suggest it's not an abnormal amount. Carrie Underwood's Temporary Home, which, like Time for Miracles, is not currently a single, dropped 74 percent. And the Glee cast version of Sweet Caroline, last week's top-selling debut, fell off 71 percent. Kris Allen's Live Like We're Dying, meanwhile, keeps plugging away, with sales increasing another three percent, and he stays in the 10,000 range, with more than 83,000 cumulative downloads.
