People usually stop curring after the show ends, so it's good that Scotty is still moving units now. Hayley already debuted the same as Allison's STUDIO debut album.

 

[hjj]

Allison and Hailey were much a like that throughout the show they found themselves in the bottom 3 but ended up and stayed for a while more. I definitely enjoyed Hailey better than Allison however.

Its good that Carrie's still holding steady

 

[teesharky]

How come we don't have numbers for RM's digital download sales this week yet? Usually they are published by now.

 

[Pi314CA]

Posted sales numbers.

 

[cary78663]

So that is 3 weeks of steady sales in the 70-75K range. If it keeps that up, it will be Gold around the end of July and Platinum sometime in September.

 

[conorlovescarrie:)]

Those are great sales! RM is doing so well! And AAG, UI and BHC are still doing really well

 

[clh_hilary]

Brad's album is holding super steady too!
