She's doing great catalog albums tend to see boosts during the holiday season and maybe it'll be enough to get some hearts certified 8x platinum SWSNBM Fearless is breathing right down SH's back creeping up on a 7x platinum cert as of current chart week it's sold 6,411,384 while Some Hearts stands at 7,143,408 or 732.024 copies apart

Don't know if I would use "breathing right down SH's back". Let's assume Fearless outsells Some Hearts by 2000 copies per week. Then, 7+ years later, the sales for both albums would be even. I doubt that will happen.

 

[Pi314CA]

Just added sales figures that was just posted in Brian's article for Daughtry, Cook, Clarkson, Gracin, and Lambert in the first post. Sad to see these figures being so small.

 

[Carrie&Taylor]

Well Fearless is cheating since it was re released 2 times vs SH only once if I'm correct.

 

[thunder92]

Daughtry sales are very low...and a debut of 8 on the bb200? ouch...especially coming off of two number ones

wow look at SH and CR!!!!

 

[TOPDOG1001]

I like Daughtry, but they really need a radio hit. I think their last one was in 2006 or 2007.

 

[conorlovescarrie:)]

Wow! SH and CR did great!

 

[opry051008]

Was SH and CR on sale?

...We're now living in the digital age. Things don't work the same like 20 years ago.

And Taylor Swift is fading, very possibility "Fearless" will no longer have legs...

Daughtry is in danger for sure...It was a nice increase for Kelly's though. However, it was mostly due to massive digital discounts, and 2 big liver performances with two different songs.

[robinannhunt]

^^WOW worse than I could even imagine. Thanks.

 

[Claire2004]

^^^Wow. I never realized just how many versions there are of Fearless. Yikes.

 

[clh_hilary]

And to think I don't follow her all that much, that I only copied it from Wikipedia and the 10-page long search results on Amazon...She also has multiple limited editions of her albums, you guys remember the one that fans could buy for like $100 and have a chance to be on her poster or something? And there's this Platinum Edition with a Calender. And to think during that period of time, she also released numerous versions of "Taylor Swift", had the "Beautiful Eye" EP before that, had the Olympic soundtrack, had the "Valentines' Day" Soundtrack, and she also had that Thanksgiving special airing soon after "Flop Now" got released...

 

[Gator]

^^ Well, TS has to sell well just to pay for production of unlimited versions of her material.

 

[Ann055]

overhyped much...I think she will fade away at some point so I guess she needs to get all she can while she can.
