Thanks for your comment but don't keep reminding us she is there.

Looks like a great first update. Too great though. Reporting order must have changed otherwise she's on pace for about 23-24K which would be amazing if true.

As for the AI Finale, I realize this won't happen but I'd love if Carrie would sing "The More Boys I Meet". She could start out next to Randy and sing the first verse, then for the chorus she could walk back to the stage to Ryan and give him a kiss on the cheek during the "I close my eyes and I kiss that Frog". Then before the second verse she could go down to Cowell side of the judging table and sing the second verse. He's got to have the second verse because of the comment "With an ego to match". She could then head back up to Ryan and repeat the kiss.

It would definately show a different side of her!

Looking at these numbers, I see the following for the top 6 coutry albums:

Toby Keith 90K-100K
Dierks Bentley 45K-55K
Taylor Swift 31K-33K
George Strait 29K-32K
James Otto 26K-29K
Carrie 22K-25K

Yeah, I agree--It would be a fun song to sing on "American Idol Finale" .

I just have to say, that out of the 495 posts you have made, I'd estimate that 400 of them has something negative to say about Taylor. Don't you think it would be time well spent to focus on Carrie positives instead of Taylor negatives?

Just saying...

I just don't know what all the big hype is about Taylor. She has no voice and all her songs talk about teenage love life.

While I'd love to see this what would be the reason for Carrie's 50% increase in sales? Opry was too late in the week for that affect I would think.

Ah good point. I forgot about that! That does cause some nice increases especially for country albums.

Thanks for the info. Let's hope your predictions stay true!

nccountrygal

Well obviously someone out there likes her because people are still buying her album. Anyways, at this point Carrie is actually outselling Taylor by about 1400 albums if you combine CR and SH so that should make you happy!

rainbow1

Keep it up, Carrie!!!!!

teesharky

Thank goodness for mother's day. I forgot about that really. If those projections are correct- that made my day.

Cary-- do you think that any increase from the Opry induction might sort of be felt more next week- since it was a saturday night? Maybe it will merge in with any ACM bump she gets...

Also---- AAG should go gold this week, right?
