Wow Cowboy Casanova is only 30,000 away from 2x platinum! YAY!

And Blown Away (single) is only 200k away from 2x platinum so it should get there in a 3 or 4 months or so.

Temporary Home is 68k away from Platinum! That is great! Maybe it will achieve that by the end of the year.

Remind Me is inching closer to 2x platinum too as it is over 1.7mill. I wish we had figures this week.

 

[Burst]

Play On back in the Billboard 200? That was unexpected, yay!
CC is only 30k away from 2x platinum and BA is going to cross 1.8mil next week. TH is 68k away from platinum too, and GG is going to cross 1.6 mil next week. Yay!

So I guess BHC is now the third best selling single by an American Idol right?

Stronger - 4.055 million
Home - 3.815 million
BHC - 3.693 million

 

[Carrieroxmysox2011]

Home is gonna pass Stronger soon.

 

[teesharky]

Pretty dang good for a country singer, considering both Phil and Kelly had 2x more airplay then Carrie.

 

[Carrieroxmysox2011]

I want BHC to reach 4x platinum.lol

 

[teesharky]

^ me too. I think it will in a year or 2.

Is "No Air" from Jordin Sparks #4? I know it was in the top somewhere, but I can't remember where.

Also, when did Kelly's "Stronger" album come out? I love that album and she has had a really big hit off of it, but I noticed that Carrie has still sold more with her country album, which says a lot about Carrie's popularity if you ask me.

 

[teesharky]

Kellys cd came out in 2011- fall I think- as did Miranda. But Carrie smoked both in sales despite coming out 8-9 months later.

but I am happy for Kelly as this era has been very successful for her conpared to the last ones.

Thanks, Tee. I'm with you - I love Kelly's album and am really happy that her career is back on the upswing.
