Seems that the buzz is gone for Scotty and Lauren as they sold 3k and 1k, respectively.

So thrilled that:
- Play On passed the 2 million mark (I know it didn't just happen just saying)
- Last Name was certified platinum
- Undo It is still selling well and BHC is also and hoping BHC will pass Jordin Sparks "No Air" to become the best-selling Idol single (BHC is SO deserving of that title)
- Remind Me had a good start especially considering there was no promotion on itunes for it - I expect this week's sales will significantly surpass last weeks.

We are so lucky that basically every week we get to see news about Carrie's sales. Think of other idols. How many of them have significant sales to report every week?

Thank you for posting this information!

What are the sales for No Air? Isnt BHC really close to it? And Before he cheats still sells so much! and Undo it is still having great sales too! Too bad JAD dropped off so we cant keep watching it inch towards platinum but yeah, us carrie fans are so lucky! Carrie always sells so well and always received so much media attention that a lot of idols never receive, it makes me really proud to be a Carrie fan

No Air = 3.258 million as of last week
BHC = 3.242 million as of this week

Guessing BHC will pass No Air this fall.
