In Carrie's first week, HDD said she would open with 273k, but SS numbers stood at 267k. Now, HDD says Dave Matthews Band has sold 271k first week. They still can open with smaller numbers. Considering PO opened with 318k and DMB's last album opened with 424k, Carrie was the more consistent one. I think I'll take it

I wonder how the battle next week will be between Pink and my sweet lil home town girl Carly Rae Jepsen will go.

More like Pink and Kanye West. Carly ain't getting the #1, I believe.

I saw Carly on Ellen and she did really well singing live. Kudos to her for being one of the few exceptions to the rule for pop singers today in her ability to sing live.
This is why reality tv shows should not be snubbed so much. Most of the singers are much better coming from these shows, then actual pop stars out there.
exception-- Pink, Adele, Lady Gaga, etc. Kelly Clarkson is from a reality show so she is another one who proves my point.

Well I gotta support Carly. She was born in the same small town as myself Mission BC Canada.
Small town girl makes big.

Kindly add GaGa to your list of exceptions, or I shall surgically remove your vital organs.

I love her and I voted for her on Idol but I have to admit, I don't like this pop fluff stuff she's doing now. But I guess she's got to grab opportunity while she can. I'm still wishing her all the best. Now if only Hedley would catch on in the US I would be really happy.

ha ha of course. You know I love Gaga.
I did put "etc"-- to indicate more people on the list. lol
I was just lazy and didn't feel like listing them all. (though it is a pretty short list- lol)

Was wondering where to post this... now that you mentioned P!nk, I found this tweet by ChartNews (Billboard):
Chart News @chartnews
Since her 2000 debut, @Pink has sold 13.4 million albums and 22.8 million digital tracks in the US.
Wow, Carrie has sold more than Pink and in less time and to a predominantly country audience. Amazing!

Not to trivialize Carrie's achievement in any way but her career was launched from American Idol, and as far as I know (so I could be wrong) Pink started from nothing and has also been off for sometime.

Not sure of your point. How did Pink Start and why was she "off"?

I just meant that she had to build her career from scratch so it takes time to build a fan base whereas Carrie had a fan base before she had an album. lol.
She's been off because she had a baby.
But Manchs is right, she was part of the era when people actually bought albums.
