Kelly Clarkson Stronger 6066?? why she sell that much?

[Daraebe]

Kelly Clarkson Stronger 6066?? why she sell that much?

She has sold in the 6000 range for a weeks now plus her album was on sale for $5.99 at best buy but considering the physical stock of her cd is minimal not sure how much of a increase she will see. If you notice the % is only 31 plus I am betting they reporting in a different order which is why you are seeing the weird numbers atm

[teesharky]

This was definitely NOT a country updatel. All the country acts did pretty badly in this update, and Kelly Clarkson and pop acts did good.

So the reporting order is off again.

[simonplay]

I hope so!

[Gator]

Thanks, Pi. It's great to see an increase in sales for BA.

[rainbow1]

Whew! That's great Pi !!

[nccountrygal]

Yay Carrie is ahead of Luke! Nothing against Luke but I want Carrie to stay ahead of him! lol

[jimshoe]

#2 country after this many weeks is pretty impressive.. not to mention it's always fun to see a + after Carrie's name.

[Pi314CA]

With this week's sales of 17k, Blown Away becomes the 5th album released in 2012 to cross the 700k mark. This is quite an achievement considering that there has not been any 'fire' sale (e.g. $2.99 price point).

1. Up All Night - One Direction (~1.1 million)
2. Tuskegee - Lionel Richie (~975k)
3. Believe - Justin Bieber (~780k)
4. Now 41 - various artists (~745k)
5. Blown Away - Carrie Underwood (~706k)

[gocountrymusic]

Where's Tee?

[carebear4eva]

I'm interested to know...How many albums released in previous years have sold 700k in 2012? Obviously Adele's 21 (and maybe 19 as well ? )...Any others? Have only 6 albums exceeded 700k sales this year?

Swift is a shoe-in for biggest selling album at this rate :/

I'm interested to see what Jason Aldean's numbers will be like also. Everyone has that one album that sales the best (obviously lol). I wonder if My Kind of Party was that for him or if it was even more momentum for this coming album.

But yes it looks like biggest selling album might be between Swift and Adele again.

[bs63093]
