There has been a twitter update.

Good gravy. Good job Carrie. And why this wasn't nominated I will never understand.

 

[PRGuy79]

That is great to see! Take notice, CMA. That is the Grammy-winning country album we're talking about. Grammy has a chance to get "right" what you got "wrong". Onward and upward!

Selling close to 6 times more than the nearest Idol competitor!

No have single sales data?

 

[bluevelvet85]

@snoopytan86 the album sales are usually released before the single sales are we'll probably get the single sales later today

 

[Daraebe]

I updated the post to include what Pi314CA posted. We should be getting single sales today sometime.

I can't wait till next week numbers. We will have 3 days of the iTunes sales plus with Amazon putting on sale as well for $6.99 this week

Thank you for the info but could we possibly post Taylor's sales in her thread? I don't think there's a need to compare her in every thread.
