Carrie’s cover of Home Sweet Home made a big splash in sales and on the charts. Home Sweet Home sold 112.2K. As a result, Home Sweet Home debuted at #21 on the Hot 100, #10 on the Hot Digital Songs chart and #8 on the Hot Digital Tracks chart. And Home Sweet Home also had enough airplay to debut at #52 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

And Home Sweet Home had a positive effect for Carrie all across the charts and in sales. In fact with the exception of Before He Cheats falling off the Hot 100 Recurrent Airplay chart, Carrie either held steady or moved up on every chart she was on. And sales were up for both Carnival Ride and I Told You So.

I Told You So held steady at #12 on the Hot Country Songs chart and moved up 3 spots on R&R’s Canada Country chart to #3. And I Told You So moves up 5 spots on the Hot 100 to #57 and moves up a spot to #44 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart. The sales for I Told You So were up 30% to 15.7K. Total sales are now 95.8K.

The More Boys I Meet holds steady at #46 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Carnival Ride’s sales were up 25% to 12.1K. Total sales are at 2.684 million. The sales increase moved Carnival Ride up 2 spots to #5 on the Top Country Albums chart and 11 spots to #42 on the Billboard 200. Some Hearts moved up 5 spots to #13 on the Top Pop Catalog chart and stayed at #1 on the Top Country Catalog Albums chart for its 24th week at the top of that chart.

And finally, both Last Name and Just A Dream were certified Gold.

And look for the positive results again in the coming week. The I Told You So duet with Randy Travis looks like it will have an even more positive impact.

Silly question from me...... but ermm, what's the difference between "Hot Digital Songs" and "Hot Digital Tracks"?

[utlovescarrie]

ITYS is a good example for showing the difference between the 2 charts.

For Hot Digital Tracks, each version of a song is considered individually. So the sales of the solo version and the duet version are considered separately. And the duet version could rank at say #5 while the solo version could shows up lower on the chart.

For Hot Digital Songs, the sales for different versions are combined. So the sales for the solo and duet version would be combined and there would be a single entry for ITYS on this chart.

Should we see a big jump with ITYS next week with all of the sales throughout the week since the release of the duet?

Yes, ITYS will debut very high this week on the Hot Digital Songs and Hot Digital Tracks charts. It will also likely jump into the top 10 on the Hot 100. Plus you will see big jumps by CR on the Billboard 200 and Top Country Albums chart.

Just when you think that "Carnival Ride" era is almost over and we are looking forward to Carrie's new album, the album jumps back up, as if this album is saying "Don't Forget To Remember Me" !!!
